WK 07: Scanning Museum Artifacts, PBR Maps Cont. - Station Setup Here is our current setup! We have a table covered by a black backdrop with a turntable on top. The Sony a7iv camera is mounted on a ring flash on a tripod facing the turntable. To the side we have a modeling light that we turn solely for reference photos, and towards the back of the room (not pictured) we have a separate table where we place all of our items(color checkers, remotes, batteries, etc.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6793e863818c97169b710e14/1759416697543-EB0B9OI4VJ6PPW3QQ1C2/thetaaaa.png 3D Scanning - WK 07: Scanning Museum Artifacts, PBR Maps Cont. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6793e863818c97169b710e14/1759416659977-9YAFOPLOVBAMRIBHZLQ6/zhetaz1.jpg 3D Scanning - WK 07: Scanning Museum Artifacts, PBR Maps Cont. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6793e863818c97169b710e14/f32defec-e885-4494-a16e-bce7abe24d2e/lightroomColorChecker.png 3D Scanning - WK 07: Scanning Museum Artifacts, PBR Maps Cont. We took pictures of the artifact from several angles upright, and on its side in order to get the bottom. I then brought those images into lightroom and white balanced them using a color checker chart. Here I separate the Cross Polarized and Parallel Polarized images by using collections to make white balancing and exporting more efficient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6793e863818c97169b710e14/ab70ee5b-02dd-4b50-8f62-72423aed627c/Nuke.png 3D Scanning - WK 07: Scanning Museum Artifacts, PBR Maps Cont. Last time I had a hard time getting the two polarized images to line up exactly, so moving forward I now have to pause the turntable in increments and take a cross polarized and parallel polarized photo before moving to the next increment. I then bring the images into Nuke to subtract the cross polarized and parallel polarized images to get the specular. I’m thinking I could then invert my result to get the roughness, and use the image layering technique in Reality Scan to get each map. Using Nuke is a way faster process compared to using photoshop. With photoshop it took me about an hour and a half to do this process, despite using photoshop actions! https://www.janetdiez.com/3d-scanning/blog-post-title-one-fbzj4-67x34-m6khl-37fmk monthly 0.5 2025-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6793e863818c97169b710e14/b3fa501c-1d43-402d-b6e0-07dcdd1697c5/photoshopSpec.png 3D Scanning - WK 05: Color Correction Workflow and PBR Maps The images I noticed were not perfect because the angle of the polarized image vs the non polarized was not perfectly aligned.

When using a color checker, you can set it next to the object for the first image taken, then remove it for the rest of the scan. It needs to be in the same lighting as the subject. This can be used in pre-processing with software such as Adobe Lightroom in order to correct the color values. The color checker can be adjusted according to the correct known values, and then you can apply a color correction pattern to the rest of the images from that scan.
