Bird feeder

Featuring multiple thin, overlapping elements, this bird feeder is a true 3D scanning challenge. The 3D reconstruction of two shiny metal grids, one encased within the other, would often require hours of tedious work, even when using professional-grade hardware and software. A cost-effective solution that delivers stunning results within minutes? Artec Studio. It was its AI Photogrammetry tool that transformed this complex, depth-heavy geometry into a picture-perfect digital twin.

The workflow involved capturing the object in a single, 60-second video sweep from multiple angles – with nothing more than an iPhone. The video was uploaded to Artec Studio, where the software’s AI-driven engine automatically extracted high-resolution frames and stitched them into a 3D model. A small-object filter removed background noise, while a bounding box was used to isolate the feeder’s essential features. The result is a crisp, detail-rich model with incredibly lifelike textures.

Give the model a spin to see how the inner cage sits inside the outer frame, or zoom in to check out the ultra-realistic color representation achieved through AI Photogrammetry’s texturing tools. This model is ready to fit straight into your workflow, whether you are looking to create digital assets for CGI, education, or heritage preservation.
