Stack - Rotate - Stack

Virtual objects are 3D representations of an object shown on a 2D screen. This kit includes all of the hardware you will need to create one, including a StackShot 3X, a StackShot Macro Rail and a Rotary table. Once everything is set up and the subject is mounted on the top of the rotary table, the StackShot 3X is configured to rotate the subject, usually 360 degrees, stopping at each user defined rotational interval. At each stop of the rotary table the system will move the cameras focal plane through the subject capturing all of the images needed to create a focus stacked image. Once this is complete you will have a 360 degree, completely in focus view of the subject. These images can then be used to create a movie or web object that can be manipulated by the viewer to give you a 360 degree view of an object. This is often used for small product photography or cataloging artifacts or insects in collections so they can be easily shared without putting the originals in harms way. In the virtual object above the images were captured with the camera at two different heights and turned into a movie. We have a detailed how-to on creating virtual objects here.


Photogrammetry

Using images collected with the StackShot Virtual Object kit in the same manner as described above, one can also process the images with specialized software to create photogrammetry models. The image below is a screenshot from the photogrammetry program made by Agisoft called Photoscan. The output of this program is a surface file, the most common file type for this type of file is stl, but there are many others. The advantage of this type of file is that it contains all of the information required to create a 3D print of the subject. This allows for not a virtual representation but also a physical model.

What Else Can I Do With StackShot 3X

Why purchase a Giga-pixel scanner, an automated turntable, and a panoramic head for time lapse separately when you can purchase a StackShot 3X system and use the same components to achieve all of this. StackShot 3X is a modular system with incredible flexibility. It is the next generation StackShot controller featuring 2 additional stepper motor controllers to allow complete 3 axis motion control. It is equipped with a touch screen user interface with haptic feedback making number entry quick and easy. You will also find USB and Wi-Fi on the StackShot 3X to allow control with your computer. If you are interested in the differences between this controller and the original StackShot visit our comparison page. So what applications are possible with this 3 axis controller?
