360° PHOTO

cults3d

This creation is in fact a minimalist version of my "Studio 360" creation which required a lot of printing time. It will allow you to photograph your 3D creations on 360 degrees using three of my Photo Tripods, one for the camera or Smartphone, two for the LED lighting (see the photo-example). This creation is composed of : 1 disc (on which you will place the object to be photographed). its axis, to be fixed by gluing or by pin on your work table (then make a reference line on the table with a felt-tip pencil). The disc has 16 notches allowing you to take 16 photos over 360°. (by skipping 1 notch between each shot, you will take 8 pictures, by skipping 2 notches, you will take 4). The goal is to create an animated GIF of this object (see the attached example that was created with the free GIMP software). If you want to use a smartphone for the shooting : 1 base composed of a base and a top to be connected by an elastic band. the smartphone will fit WITHIN ITS WIDTH into this socket, and the whole on a photo tripod by 1 screw + 1 nut M5. a knurl for the M5 nut will facilitate tightening without the use of a tool. The hardware store consists of: 1 screw and 1 nut M5x20mm if necessary, 1 flat-headed pin to fix the axle to the work surface. if necessary, 1/4" standard pitch photo screws to attach the camera and LED lights to the photo tripods.

First of all, the GIF does not support more than 256 different colors. It is usually used with images that do not have gradients or a large number of colours, such as logos, graphics, 256" photos, etc. colors.

You can preview the final result by playing the animation. To do this, click on the Filters menu, then click on Animation and Play Animation.
