Looking for a camera for capturing textures. Please help!
by mrommelz - 10/4/08 3:47 PMBasically, I need a camera that can take pictures of textures so I can use them on 3D models created on the computer. I am having a hard time deciding because I don't know how many Megapixels & Zoom is needed to accomplish this. Anybody help is appreciated.
Just sharing.

Just about any camera could do this. BUT lighting could be the real issue. Here's a link about something you may want to build to get the best shot:

Light boxes rule.

If you can find one of these....

Another option is to use a scanner. You get nice even lighting with a scanner bed, and if it's too bulky to fit under the lid, make a black box. (line a shoebox with black velvet and place over whatever you are scanning).
