My wife asked about turning this miniature “wood branch” seat from a Gnome figurine set into a hollow container, so I explored using photogrammetry to scan it and have it 3D printed instead of modifying the original.

My first attempt at making a uniform lighting rig around the original model. The lighting worked well, but I ended up having to re-do the setup after the photogrammetry software balked at the grid. Back to the drawing board.
I replaced the grid with a radial of colors and numbers which helped the photogrammetry software figure out the orientation of each frame photographed.
