So I took the Biscuits.pov example and orbited around it using rotate. I tried
setting the EXIF tags to the equivalent of a Canon 7D (the camera I have) and
the sensor width in the camera as:
POVRay;POVRay;22.3;guessed
and the angle parameter in the camera definition was 40 (degrees) to make the
equivalent of a 50mm camera. This is the result...it's a bit messy but shows
some potential. I saved as JPEG but PNG would be cleaner, but I'm not sure
Meshroom picks up the PNG chunks or not. I think maybe the next step is to
remove reflection and specular highlights, and perhaps a grid or spotty pattern
to aid the feature detection.
