SHINING 3D BlueStar Mapping
True-Colour Texture Mapping for 3D Models
Combine accurate scan geometry with multi-angle photography to create detailed true-colour 3D models.
Software, Training & Application Support from CAMS Across Canada & North America
ADD PHOTOGRAPHIC TEXTURE TO ACCURATE SCAN GEOMETRY
BlueStar Mapping is designed to apply high-resolution photographic texture to 3D scanned geometry. A mesh provides the measured shape while photos captured with a smartphone or DSLR supply the surface colour, markings and visual detail.
The workflow aligns and blends photographs across the model, with tools for seam control, colour balancing and texture refinement. It is useful for cultural heritage, visualization, VR, e-commerce and digital-content workflows where the appearance of the physical object matters as much as its geometry.
TRUE-COLOUR 3D APPLICATIONS
GEOMETRY AND TEXTURE SERVE DIFFERENT PURPOSES
A 3D scan establishes the shape of the object, while dedicated photography records finer colour, markings and surface appearance. BlueStar Mapping brings those datasets together so the measured geometry remains the foundation while the visual information is refined for the final use.
- Photo-to-mesh alignment: register photographs to scanned geometry without replacing the measured 3D form.
- Texture refinement: correct seams, balance colour and clean visible transitions across the model.
- Output for the next step: prepare textured assets for visualization, archiving, online viewing, VR and other digital-content workflows.
