Here's my non authoritative guide to creating 3d scans/models of large objects using photogrammetry.

What is photogrammetry?

This is a good photo gives a good description of what photogrammatry is. it turns drone photographs (that share similar pixels) into a 3d point cloud of objects.

Photogrammetry - Wikipedia

Pix 4d

Download PIX4Dmapper software | Pix4D

is the state of the art and easiest to use (it has features which are behind a paywall 😟but is by far the most user friendly)

Steps

1) Take 100+ photos using a drone of your house or other big object you want to scan

Photogrammetry, 3D Scanning With A Photo Camera - Bitfab

here are some sample datasets

Example projects - real photogrammetry data

Live demo of the above scan click here Quarry

"What if i dont have a drone?
no problem, just use your camera.

2) Copy them to your computer

3) Load them into pix4d and render them!

download pix4d

pictured here is half way through processing the images, scan of friends house while traveling

half way done

He cares about people but isn't afraid to joke in a sinister manner.
