CSC400 Explorations in 3D Scanning
a special studies by Rachel Dines, with advising by Joe O'Rourke at Smith Collegerelated projects using 3D scanners in art and/or museum contexts
 The Digital Michelangelo ProjectA several year long project conducted by Stanford University where a team scanned theentire David by Michelangelo. They also scanned several other sculptures, and fragments from the Forma Urbis Romae, a giant marble map of ancient Rome. They hoped to develop a digital database of 3D scans of art objects available for studies. Now, when you visit the Academia and see the David, you can also play with the 3D model at a kiosk. I thought this project was interesting, although the scan of the David is not incredibly useful. I found the scanning of the Forma Urbis Romae a more interesting aspect, because they could then use computer models to fit the fragments together. The image on the left is a screenshot from the downloadable software and model. |

3D Modelling of Geological Fossils and Ores by Combining High-resolution Textures with 3D Scanning Data This project scanned and texture mapped fossils and ores in order to facilitate communication and research in the geology and palaeontology communities. |
