Matthew Durham: Week 13 - Laser Scanning







Concept:
       For my concept I wanted to have a tentacle popping up in random spots around campus. As if there was a Kraken under the earth. 


Scanning Process:
      I used NextEngine scanner process to scan the tentacle i carved out of green floral foam. Since i glued it on the quarter-twenty screw i did not have to worry about the aligning the object after words. They only thing i had to do was trim and patch holes in Rapidworks.

Rendering Process:
    Once I had all my scan data completed I imported it into Rhino to check edges after i sent it to Keyshot. I used the perspective to get the tentacle positioned correctly and used the sun height and rotation to get the angle correct. After that I did a batch render and brought it into to Photoshop for final editing. For the first render I had to create the reflection on the glass. All I did was make a duplicate of the tentacle, lowered the opacity and then played with the perspective just a little bit.
