Asset Overview

My second go at photogrammetry ([after a messy first one](https://skfb.ly/6ABAt)), on a 10cm long lead toy, and it went great IMHO :-) . ![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/nld9xsa.jpg) I am not a toy soldiers enthusiast nor historian, but from the few hits google gave me, I found out that this is probably a french "hussar" or a "horse-riding hunter" from the WW1 era. **If anyone has any precise knowledge about where and when this soldier comes from, please let me know in the comments!** Concerning the scanning process, I used **colmap** and **OpenMVS** as suggested by @pfalkingham1 in [this post](https://pfalkingham.wordpress.com/2017/05/26/-testing-11-visualsfm-openmvs/), and took 153 pictures with a Canon Eos 1100d (12Mpx) around the model which "laid" on an articulated lamp in order to correct mistakes from my first scan and get the bottom-facing geometry correctly. After cleaning in blender, I remeshed and baked the resulting model to a lighter version, processed with [mmgs](https://www.mmgtools.org/).
