3Dropolis is a startup aimed at providing accessible 3D models for indie game developers, using photogrammetry software to generate 3D models from 2D images and videos. As part of my senior capstone project, I worked in a team of 6 peers and 3 stakeholders to build its platform.
I focused on web crawler development where I built upon a custom web scraper in Python in order to collect high quality data points for 3D model generation. Using Python frameworks such as Scrapy and existing APIs for stock photo sites such as Envato and Pixabay, I epanded a large database of images to build assets upon.
To verify input quality, I used the RealityCapture software from Unreal to generate models from my collected input. I ultimately created a Python pipeline that automated video input to 3D model generation.
