This is the Vivid 9i scanner. It's scanning a Ledger Art Vessel by OHET. TolhT. Kiowa, belonging to the Darling Family, and is provided by James Andrew Darling. Darling received it from his great great grandmother, Sarah Darling, who was a teacher at the Hampton Institute in the 1890s. This is real Ledger Art painted onto a factory made ceramic vessel. These items are very rare, and are interesting from the perspective of Ledger Art history.
The NextEngine Desktop 3D scanner is using lasers to create a 3D model of a Micaceous clay pot sculpted by Felipe Ortega. Check out his website to see more of his pottery.
Here is Dr. Selden teaching Rachel to use the Creaform. It's a handheld scanner, and scans 500,000 points per second. It is most effective for capturing textured objects, but makes really large files.
Tomorrow we will learn more in depth about the scanners and get to use them ourselves.
Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteI've retained scanning consultants to create "as built" drawings when no other existing building drawings were available. The 3D scanning is amazing. The laser scanners look like those in the SMU lab. The scan data gets exported into Revit, a computer drawing program, so the architects have a scaled document for beginning renovation design ideas. Thanks for sharing this Blog.
