Photogrammetry is an important part of digital asset creation and has helped countless projects create realistic digital actors, assets and environments.
Alexander Richter is a technical director and coach in visual effects, animation and games, having worked on Avatar: The Way of the Water and Monsters at Work. Ramiro Carrillo is a technical artist specializing in asset creation and photogrammetry.
Great insights on photogrammetry's role in VFX—especially how precise measurements and scale accuracy are crucial when reconstructing real-world assets. It’s fascinating how small details, like converting units correctly, can impact the final model. For anyone working between metric and imperial systems during asset creation, a quick reference like mm to inches can be a handy tool in pre-processing scans.
