Want to see how our Namaqualand assets were captured? What really goes on behind the scans?

Watch our new mini documentary! https://youtu.be/nmyKhd-Da6w

A bit of context about this video: We invited our friend and HDRI stitcher, Jarod Guest, along with us on the trip last year with the goal of making some kind of video doc about our process of capturing scans.

The initial plan was just to share this video with you guys on Patreon, but, after seeing how much work Jarod put into the video, we wanted to share it with everyone instead :)

We're also toying with the idea of doing this kind of thing more often, to try and share more about the people behind Poly Haven and what goes into making all our free assets. We're not trying to be famous YouTubers, but we think there's some value in sharing the personal side of our work too.

Let me know what you think!

The goal? Build a free 3D asset collection to recreate what we saw there. It took more than a year to process all the data we captured and turn it into high quality 3D assets for everyone.
