Mojave House

Mojave House

I scanned this old, run-down house that happens to be on a plot of land with an old gold and silver mine. I shot video primarily of it with a DJI FPV drone. Granted, not the best thing to use, however, with some steady flying and no wind, you can generally get good results. The entire scan was produced using 700+ frames, with more focus on the exterior. I don't trust my own flying enough to fly the drone on the interior of the building, let alone stepping into it. Nonetheless, for what it's worth, I was surprised the majority of the interior was picked up. 400 steps with downscaling set to on, with the resolution put to 2048. I honestly don't see much of a difference, at least using video from this particular drone, besides a slight increase in dithering on the final model. But the increase to 400 steps seems to temper that down a bit. Overall, with better gear, and assuming the house is still there in the next decade, it might be worth giving another go.
