5 cameras simultaneously for realistic 3D animation

In the constantly evolving universe of e-commerce And of digital marketing, the visual presentation of products has become an essential driver of conversion. With the Alphashot XL PRO v2, Orbitvu takes another step forward by facilitating capture images adapted to 3D photogrammetry, while maintaining optimal productivity.

‍

What is photogrammetry?

La photogrammetry is a technique that consists of reconstructing 3D models from 2D images taken from different angles. It is based on the triangulation to determine the exact position of each point on an object, generating a point cloud, then a textured 3D mesh. This method is used both in industry and in preservation of heritage, theAR/VR, or even the quality control.

Chez PackshotCreator, we have been mastering this technique since 2014 thanks to the range MaestroBot, the first solution on the market to combine photo automation and 3D data preparation.

🚀 Orbitvu and photogrammetry: a natural synergy

Hardware tailored to the requirements of 3D capture

THEAlphashot XL PRO v2 Is a system of automated photography designed for the capture of high quality images, with ideal specifications for photogrammetry:

75 cm motorized tray for smooth and precise rotation
6 independent LED panels ensuring uniform and shadow-free lighting
Up to 5 Canon DSLR cameras simultaneously for a multi-angle capture
High image resolution, essential for a detailed 3D reconstruction
IQ mask : automatic background removal technology

Thanks to its generous dimensions (142 x 250 x 124 cm) and its load capacity (25 kg), this studio allows you to capture a wide variety of products, up to 70 x 50 x 30 cm.

📷 An optimized workflow for photogrammetry

From data capture to export

THEAlphashot XL PRO v2 allows a rapid and systematic production of the series of images necessary for the professional photogrammetry :

Laser positioning for precise centering of the product
Automated sequence with synchronization of the set, lighting and cameras‍
144 to 300 images per object (up to 24 azimuths × 12 elevations)‍
Batch processing and multi-format export via Orbitvu Station (PNG, JPEG, TIFF)

🧠 From 2D to 3D: how images become models

‍

‍

Once images are accurately captured, the photogrammetry process follows four main steps:

1. Triangulation

The software analyzes the similarities between images and calculates the 3D position of each point.

2. Point cloud

A set of spatial points recreates the volumes of the object.

3. Meshing

The cloud is transformed into continuous surface (mesh) representing the exact shape.

4. Texturization

The captured images are projected onto the surface to restore the textures And the colours real.

🌍 Concrete applications: from e-commerce to heritage

The high-resolution images produced with Orbitvu allow multiple uses:

Interactive 3D models for e-commerce and product personalization
Digital archiving rare or historical objects
Quality control industrial with 3D inspection
Augmented reality and vr : simple integration into immersive apps

🏛️ Use case: Pompeii and heritage digitization

The Pompeii Archaeological Park has scanned more than 5,000 artifacts in 3 months thanks to theAlphashot XL PRO v2. The captured images were then integrated into a photogrammetry process to generate exceptionally accurate 3D models, useful for study, conservation and dissemination at the same time.

FAQS

With the rise of generative artificial intelligence, 3D is becoming a strategic lever for differentiating oneself. It makes it possible to create immersive, interactive and personalized experiences based on controlled visual data. Unlike images generated exclusively by AI from text prompts, 3D models derived from photogrammetry are based on real objects. This guarantees optimal visual fidelity and essential consistency, especially in the fields of e-commerce, quality control or augmented reality applications.

Artificial intelligence acts as an amplifier of the visual potential of 3D. Once a model is generated, it can be animated, stylized, or scaled up using AI-based tools. These tools make it possible to transform a model into a product video, interactive content or advertising asset in a few clicks. AI also makes it possible to automatically adapt the rendering according to the distribution channels: web, mobile, print, etc. The combination of photogrammetry and AI thus constitutes a modern, flexible and highly efficient production flow.

Once the point cloud is generated from multi-angle images, specialized software can be used to create a textured 3D model. Some of the best known are RealityCapture, Agisoft Metashape or Meshroom for reconstruction. Blender, Cinema4D or 3ds Max then provide rendering and animation. To produce still images or 3D packshots, engines like KeyShot, OctaneRender or V-Ray are used. On the video side, solutions like After Effects with Element 3D or Blender allow you to create product animations. Finally, some tools like ShotFlow make it possible to integrate this content into automated marketing production workflows.

Photogrammetry provides a solid and reliable basis. It produces visual data from real objects, with geometric precision that is difficult to obtain with AI alone. Artificial intelligence then intervenes to automate processing tasks, enrich content, generate combinations and streamline distribution. AI does not replace photogrammetry; it values it. The result is visual content that is both faithful, customizable and adapted to multi-channel uses.

Orbitvu intervenes early in the process, by automating the capture of images essential for photogrammetry. With equipment like the Alphashot XL PRO v2, users can quickly produce series of perfectly calibrated images, with constant lighting and precise angle synchronization. This ensures optimal quality for 3D reconstruction. Combined with photogrammetry software and AI tools, Orbitvu becomes an essential link in industrializing the creation of 3D models from real products. At PackshotCreator, we support companies in this transition. Since 2014, we have anticipated these needs by integrating photogrammetry into our solutions, and today we continue to offer approaches compatible with the most recent artificial intelligence technologies.
