I had this decorative model (of about 12cm height) of an elephant at home for many years, not sure which vacation trip it was when I bought it. Now I needed something to take my first steps in photogrammetry with the meshroom software, so it came just handy.

I had put the the model on a box in the middle of a room and took about 60 photographs from all kind of different angles. Than I run it through meshroom with the default settings and this is what I got. I have cut away all artifacts of the room directly in Prusaslicer, then printed the model and exported it into the attached .stl file.

In the photograph with the dark brown and the red elephant, the dark brown one is the original that I had scanned, the red one is the print at about 30% scale.

A big thanks goes out to all the contributors of meshroom for providing this excellent piece of software to mankind for free. It is amazing how well it works.

Happy printing, and don't be shy to post a make if you like the results.
