real live (bearded) dragon photoscan

Watch a bearded dragon eat crickets for a few minutes and imagine them as knights and princesses and you get a pretty good idea of what an actual dragon would be like. A little short on the flying and fire breathing, but plenty scary nonetheless.

One advantage to reptiles as pets (some would argue the only advantage) is that they spend a lot of time doing nothing which makes them the ideal pet for photo scanning. While Rex the bearded dragon stared with her beady reptile eyes I shot 53 photos. The results were processed with Agisoft and reworked a bit with 3dCoat to make them printable.
