Cracked Mud This is one of a series of mud scans that cost me a pair of shoes to accomplish. This scan is composed of 43 RAW images of a muddy river bed during the low season when it all but dries up. The mud would suction my shoes down and almost take them off when I tried to walk in it. I had to plan my scans so that they did not become full of my own muddy steps. This area had drained enough to create cracks but still be muddy. This photoscanned model is UV'd and has 8k maps for color, depth & normals. Download, use commercially and enjoy!

Tuscan Styled TilesThis is one of the few times that I've used my iphone camera instead of having my Samsung NX300 handy for scanning. I couldn't get RAW images but I shot densely to get a total of 216 photos for this scan. I really like the warmth of this Tuscan style of tile. I keep thinking that someday I'll have the time to produce tiling textures from these scans. These photoscanned models have 8k maps for UVs, color, depth & normals. Enjoy! Ground surfaces are incredibly complex and incredibly useful in building 3D worlds. While I haven't really come near to creating a bunch of seamless textures from these scans, that certainly shouldn't stop me from getting them in the "can" so you or anyone else can benefit from them. Eventually, I may even work them out into seamless textures. But for now enjoy all the scans you find useful. Wet Rocky Earth This one required shooting in falling snow and rain but I got it and I didn't lose a camera in the process. It just so happens that freezing your butt off is usually the cost of getting great overcast lighting. Gray Metal Panel These two metal panel scans were a great opportunity to scan a common texture from the real world. These panels were used on sidewalks and I was able to source a relatively clean subject and then follow it up with a duplicate of a rusty panel. At the least it is a very good texture reference complete with normals and height map. Hopefully it is actually a good study subject for comparison.
Cinder Stone Retaining WallThis is one of my older scans from before I started capturing raw. 120 jpg images. It is still a beautiful asset that could very suitably be made into a tiling asset. I've also finally begun adding a gray geometry render so that you can see the detail levels of just the geometry. Enjoy! Here is a series of scans that I've been looking forward to sharing. I had a nice asset that wasn't detailed enough for me in it's ropes. So I decided to scan it! I scanned in pieces and it required a little out-of-the-box thinking. I purchased the thickest hemp rope I could get my hands on (because scanning small items makes everything difficult). The Boom Hitch was scanned on it's side and the noose was scanned in a hanging position (luckily the rope was thick enough to hold it position even on my turntable). I did some nice rope segment scans so that a rope could easily be generated later for any desired use. I am now much happier with the detail of my 3D ropes. :) Disheveled Bed This is the main scan that I set out to get. It's large and doesn't fit in my turntable space. But it has plenty of details for camera alignment. I ended up getting 250 images in overcast lighting and just about everything meshed well. You can't move anything around because it is scanned as it was, but I did grab a turntable scan of a matching pillow below, so you have a tiny bit of ability to dress your scene. I absolutely love capturing real-life organic subjects like all the folds in these blankets and sheets. Just so much fun when it directly translates from the real subject. Sure these are pretty scans but I need them to run in real-time in a game engine. The entire process of translating a model from RAW scan into game ready asset is an art form all it's own (or at least an important job). Luke Schloemer set out to create a UE4 asset pack out of the many props I've scanned (with my approval, of course). I'm very excited about this because I want to find ways to make my scans even more accessible to you. Yes, they are for sale! But even beyond that Luke has undertaken to share his process with all of us (see below). Step-by-step Breakdown from Scan to Game Engine |

Stylistic Wood Beam
This is a fantastic stylistic wood beam that I scanned on a particularly overcast and successful day of scanning at Red Rock Park. I really like this stylized beam and this it could work in both western and fantasy assets.
