I remember a year or so ago when I was selling 3D printed Switch accessories on my Etsy store, I actually made a little photography setup in my garage to take pictures of them. The setup looked like some janky construction you'd find in Garry's Mod, but you really wouldn't be able to tell that from the photos I took with it.
It basically consisted of a piece of old gray car liner for the backdrop, and a very ghetto three-point lighting setup consisting of an old incandescent flashlight wedged into the slot on the back of an old office chair, a magnetic LED flashlight stuck onto an empty propane can, and the garage's ceiling light. For the camera, I literally just used my phone's camera.
It definitely wasn't ideal, but I made do with what I had at the time and all things considered, it worked way better than it had any right to.
It only has to look good in frame! 😂
There should be a life-hack section in UA-cam, and not with those tacky put cola on some car keys to make them shiny, but with people like this.
so true
it's more like "how to" advices, than lifehacks
I want to see you 3D Print a Bulb Duster 😍
I thought about it ngl 😂
What I’ve learned: paper is magic for pictures
really informative, I am now planing to rethink the way I take presentation pictures ! Thanks
This video made it very easy for me to understand and use the basics to create some good product shots for my prints. Thanks!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching
You are an artist, I love it your videos man!
Really useful video very informative i recently purchased a photo booth tent thing had lights with it and different background colours I don't know how I managed without it
Handsome Devin. His cuteness is so inclusive.
Learned a bunch Thanks!
Great walkthrough
Great ideas
Thanks for sharing👍😀
Thanks for good tips. I will use these tips to make thumbnails to my 3d printing timelapse videos.
thank you for another great video!
well glad my dad is a photographer(part time.). i use his old camera and supplies easy peezy
Exceptional video that will certainly help many people, me included. :-)
I found your logo on a piece of a new record player my dad bought and came here to mention it
Hey Devin, I thought this was a great video. Many of us love showing off our prints and oftentimes a lazy camera phone pic rarely does it justice. Thanks for sharing your best practices.
2:20 I printed a stand to hold the paper. Funny how 3D printing can help make 3D printing more fun.
I love you videos keep going
I take thousands of photos of small items (jewelry, parts, bottles, signs...) that I sell online and I have used many different soft boxes, never super happy with any of them until I got a photo box from Travor on Amazon (Like $70) includes perfect set of LED lights that are attached inside the box (but movable) and it has a great diffuser for them. The backdrops are a sheet of colored plastic (I always use white) that curves and fits to the top of the back wall and all the way to the front of the bottom for a perfect no line photo. I still have 3 other soft boxes right now but I have not opened one of them since getting the Travor. Also the lights are dimmable though I always leave them on high and I never need any other light source. Instead of a folding box it's steel tubes that have plastic corner pieces, once you get all 8 tubes connected (takes 5 minutes first time then 2 minutes once you've done it) you place the cloth over it and zip it up all the way around. I do leave mine together since I use it 2-4 times a week. Best investment I ever made for shooting my items for sale.
realy love the process of you and your channel. the improvement of the quality in your content since the mega clippers is insane, very pleasing to watch. by the way: i think the contrast of your images is not matching everytime within a series of pictures. dunno if that is intentional or not, but that came to me when looking at the photo of the yellow vase. seems to be a little bit on the flatter site compared to the others.
Thanks for following my journey 😁 I definitely still have trouble matching contrast, tone, etc across all my photos. Pretty tricky!
@@make.anythingYou are doing realy good all in all! I even struggle with starting to creating content and publishing it because of selfdoubt. Got so much video footage (of building furniture) on my HDD that doesnt even come close to the quality of content you are creating.
Thank you for sharing this video with us. I’m very interested in making video montage and I even do some video shooting for shows in my school so this video is perfect to vary my knowledge :)
Would you recommend a Creality Ender 3 or an eelamaur Mars resin printer?
any comment on the changes to the personal license to fusion360 from autodesk?
I totally needed this video. Thanks
I actually make RAW photos on my phone all the time. It's amazing
how?
@@flappyBoi s20 ultra. I use pro mode and turn on "save raw images"
What kind of phone is it?
@@masonportice Samsung galaxy s20 ultra.
What a lovely and helpful video! Question: at 9:40, regarding the "saw horse" frame for hanging the backdrop paper: I notice that the horizontal bar is midway front-to-back over the desk corresponding to the front and back legs being equal length. That means the backdrop paper can actually bow out toward the rear of the set, in which position it's not hanging vertically, but rather it makes the back wall tilt forward over the object being photographed, "enclosing" it more. Is there a lighting benefit to this arrangement?
probably not intentional, but I would see that there is an advantage as there is light reflecting off the top (above) the subject. It's creating a little more fill. Great job noticing that Graham.
Yea! Unintentional the first time but I figured it would bounce some light from above. Haven't done side by side tests though
Hey Devin! I've bought a pegboard with 4.5 mm diameter holes. I've tried to use a similar mechanism to yours but it's to small to bend. Do you have any ideas of how i can do it? What diameter are your holes? Thanks a lot. Love you're videos!!!
I recently bought a pegboard with the sameish size holes (I think it's a Metric vs Imperial pegboard issue) I've had to recreate Devin's peg design and change it a little bit to allow it to work at a smaller size.
Another great video thanks.
Thank you Devin for the tricks! I'm going to use them ;-)
👍👌
Yes finally some goodness
Thanks for inspiring me
Instagram photos are square because they tried to capture the feeling of taking polaroid pictures. That's why they let you add a ton of filters which mimic common issues you would encounter when using a camera with no preview and very few options.
Really helpful hints Devin
Ya but....that tilted vase function of tutorial tho👀
Very helpful!
I would so want to do those amazing timelapse using your earlier how to video...I dont possess a dslr yet :(
so i recently watched the how to make anything #2 does the game work with 6x2 magnets
It should, especially if you design it yourself and adust the depth of the magnet holes
@@make.anything okay thanks
@@make.anything Btw, quick tip - you could try to use flat neodymium magnets to hold huge paper from the end of the video, instead of using 3d printed clamps, it would be easier to set up probably
8:55 In-tents photo ... get it? Cuz it's inside the photo tent ... lol
3:15 A 3D printer enclosure, may be
Where can i get that beautiful voronam skull behind you??
This one? www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-wired-ram-skull-73250
@@make.anything yes. Thank you!
Some great tips here! One question - at whichfocal length do you usually shoot your pictures?
As much as I love the soft focus of the f1.8 on the Sigma lens, I usually try to set an aperture that gets more of the product in focus. I think these were mostly shot around f6
@@make.anything I see. I guess shooting at the apeture where the lens is at it's most sharpness makes sense. However by focal length I ment about lens milimeters. Some say 35mm is the best, some say 50mm gives more natural look. It's always seems hard to get it just right.
@@kasparsbutlers ahh sorry I misunderstood. I shoot at 35mm because that's the upper limit of my lens, and I feel it captures my prints accurately
@@kasparsbutlers i think you're right to be using a 35mm or 50mm. they both should work fine. i personally have a 28mm and a 50mm. they were the ones that were the right price at the time.
Anyone knows trombona??
Yay

Hello
Devin’s wearing that shirt!
Is that Cool Guy? From Cool guy has Chill Day?
For setting the color balance in camera raw, you could also just use the white balance selector tool, located at the tool row on the top. Just click on something that's white in the photo and boom you're done! Easier and faster that way!
Thanks, I figured that must exist but I was proud of my discovery haha

Pls pls pls pls can you make titanic ship using that pls
Please do a how to make a removable green screen video! I’m having trouble
I think the existing videos on UA-cam say a much as I could. Lighting the screen well and evenly is going to improve results *a lot*
Please show how to make a crossbow with 3d pen
Spoike!
I was 18 minutes in before I realized that the vase is supposed to look like it's being extruded from a nozzle. 🙄 I thought the nozzle was there as some sort of way to water the plant.
it is showing me 2 veiws and 3 like :D
