Scanned Object
Ghosted Image Painted Black

Concept: When I first started this project, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to scan. I've had this little red dachshund eraser for a while now, and when I saw it it reminded me of those chrome balloon animal statues by Jeff Koons. I thought it would be cool to play off of that idea and scan the dog and make it out of chrome.Scanning Process: Like everyone else, I scanned my object once from the side and once from the bottoms to make sure I got all the parts in. It was a bit difficult positioning the dogs since the thinner parts like the legs and tail could bend and offset the scan if I wasn't careful. The first set of scans I did without any guide dots, and I wasn't confident that I had aligned them correctly so I ended up rescanning the whole thing again with markers placed all around my dog. In the end, it wasn't all that hard, the real challenge only came from the fact that I was working with technology and software I was unfamiliar with, unlike in other projects where I at least had some experience with the programs involved.
Rendering Process: This was probably the easiest part for me since unlike with scanning I actually have a little experience with Keyshot from previous projects, and a lot of knowledge of photoshop in general. I chose the front of the visitor's center because that grassy area in front is a prime spot for a statue, especially a large one like the dog I placed. Getting the model to match the environment was the trickiest part since the shadows didn't want to work with me, but the rest was pretty smooth sailing. I ended up tweaking the shadows using photoshop anyways since the statue looked like it was hovering just slightly above the ground no matter what I did in Keyshot.
