real live (bearded) dragon photoscan

thingiverse

Watch a bearded dragon chomp down crickets for several minutes then picture them as knights and royalty - you'll get a pretty good idea of what a real dragon would look like. They're a little short on the flying and fire breathing, but still quite intimidating nonetheless. One perk to reptiles as pets (some might argue this is the only benefit) is that they spend a lot of time doing nothing which makes them perfect for photo scanning. As Rex the bearded dragon glared with her sharp reptile eyes I snapped off 53 photos in quick succession. The results were run through Agisoft and tweaked a bit with 3dCoat to make them ready for printing.
