Animation 3D

WebODM
#1

Good evening,

I would like to animate a 3D orthophoto, style a 360°

It’s not possible, I imagine?

Do you have to do in the spirit of a stop motion with screenshots?

thank you and good evening

You could do it in Blender3D, which is free/opensource just like ODM. It’s roughly 20,000 times more complex though, but here’s a tutorial on basically what you’re trying to do that I found: How to import an orthophoto in blender for airport scenery creation. - YouTube

One additional thing you’d likely want to research is how to “animate a camera” in blender3d. You could make full movies. I do a lot of animation this way for clients and 3d flythroughs of projects.

You can animate pointclouds and meshes in CloudCompare. Don’t know about “3D orto”

I’m not sure what you mean by that, but it is certainly possible to animate 3D models in WebODM, I’ve posted quite a few in The Showroom, tagged 3d-animation or 3d-model

Good morning,

Thanks to you 3 for your answers…

@Gordon, yes that matches what you are doing

@Cronix, Blender seems a bit “complicated”

@Apos80

I will study cloudcompare

good day

@Gordon, The webodm animation is perfect, however how to export the rendered file like you did ?

I did not see the tab (or I searched badly)

thank you

Does YouTube content count as commercial use?

I suspect not generally, but I assume it would be commercial use if you are using your account to sell something related to your content.

Looked it up and it’s cheap, so maybe I’ll purchase it.

For Mac owners, it’s free, it’s the same.

I have no action at Mac :slight_smile:

Youtube pays creators. It’s considered commercial in most instances that I’m aware of. They play commercials over your content. You’ll even get a tax form from them that also gets sent to your government showing how much you made that year from your channel. You might want to research more.

If you’re in the USA and don’t have a FAA Part 107 certificate, you can’t have your drone footage on youtube period. Plenty of people have been busted for that, because youtube pays making it a commercial endeavor, and unless you have part 107 you’re supposed to be a “hobbyist” and can’t make money from drones.

You have to be a Partner and have setup AdSense to monetize your own content on YouTube.

After them killing small channels a few years ago, nobody under 10k follows is making money on their own content, though Google obviously still does.

Only if you have vast numbers of subscribers, which I suspect is just those who do ridiculous things like open boxes in front of their camera, or have cats that do tricks etc

They certainly don’t pay me anything for the few 3D model animations I have posted, which hardly anyone looks at.

I had a legacy Partner account from the Google Video days with non-zero money in it that I lost access to when they changed the terms for Partner accounts, and I can’t talk to them about it because I am not a Partner :rage:
