Lichen Covered Twig

Description

A photogrammetric model of a twig from the yard. It has lichen on it. 14,000+ Images, focus stacked into 515 DNGs. Original model has 36M faces. The model isn't perfect but it reveals the topography of the lichen nicely. I wonder what those cup-shaped growths are? This model is near the outer-limits of what my computer can reasonably handle. It would be interesting to do this with a higher magnification, but the image count would increase substantially. Sony a7ii, Laowa 85mm f/5.6 X2 Macro
