First Working Synth

The first two synths I attempted to create resulted in an embarassing 0% Synthy.
I assume this occured because the objects were too reflective.

I chose to do a rubiks cube first as it had many distinct colours with which to work with, however there might have been too many similar colours on each face and Photosynth became confused, and the aforementioned high reflectivity of the coloured surfaces.
















The second choice was a USB thumb drive. It was simple and had a few distinct features on it like a brand label, a string attached to one end and a green grip. however the rest of the body was silver plastic and probably reflected too much, as well as being too constistent across the surface giving Photosynth a bit of a hard time.
















My third and 100% synthy choice was a Mario phone sock. It has distinct colour features on it and is very unreflective as it is made from cotton fabric. I didn't take as many photos as I did with the original two as a time-saving decision in case this too didn't work, however it still resulted in a 100% synth.
















Here is the outcome.
Phone Sock

I was not as pleased as I'd hoped to be with the outcome, as there are not that many feature points in the point cloud however it is still a successful result and should help with the rest of the exercise.
