200 unrelated photographs, interpolated and converted to a 3d model using PhotoScan (123D Catch is cool, but has limits on the number of photographs you can upload for a single project).
Unrelated Photo Model
Further experiment sending unrelated images to 123d Catch software – here 70 images were blended, put in a computer-rendered 3d living room, and uploaded. Created using Processing, bash scripting, and Rhino.

Random Images into 123D Catch
Initial success in hacking 123D Catch to accept an entirely random series of images.
Further 123D Catch Hacking – Colored Grids
Further refinement: programmatically-generated colored grids for better tracking and easier placement of missed photographs.
Breaking 123D Catch = working
Success in allowing random images into 123D Catch, using the method in the previous post. Now for auto rotation in more than one direction to build a more dimensional surface…
Interpolation and Fake 3d Space for 123D Catch
A hack for uploading unrelated images to Autodesk’s 123D Catch software. Images are interpolated over several steps, then placed in a fake 3d space (the software uses the background to determine angle and breaks without it). Fingers crossed!
