Place the object on a lazy susan. Mark the exact center and center the object above it. Put your camera on a tripod and frame the object. If it's a tall object then shoot in portrait mode. Spin the object as you look through the camera. If the edges of the object stay in the same spot, then it's centered. Spin the lazy susan an inch or so every shot until you get 20-30 shots. Raise and lower the camera for different angles if it adds something to the visibility of the object. Sometimes I think that too many photos can just make the synth confusing, but more is usually better than less.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8921980" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/photosynth/archive/2008/09/03/how-to-synth-an-object.aspx#8921976Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:01:02 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8921976Richard<p>here is my attempt at synthing a birthday cake:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=d3f77b35-c29c-463b-b470-038882afeaa3">http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=d3f77b35-c29c-463b-b470-038882afeaa3</a></p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8921976" width="1" height="1">
