Quinn Sherer: Week 13 - 3d Scanning


Concept

We did a 3D scan of a small fake cactus because the shapes are simple but interesting and would make a nice large scale sculpture.


Process

First we did a horizontal scan around the sides of the cactus, then rotated it to get a scan of the top and bottom.  We aligned the data from both scan families and cleaned it up in NextEngine and Rapid Works.  We decided to keep a lower number of polygons because we liked the look and texture it gave to the model.  Once we were satisfied with the model, we imported it into Keyshot to render it in passes and place it in an architectural setting.


Materials

We used a 3D laser scanner and NextEngine to scan the cactus,  Rapid Works to clean up the model, Keyshot to render, and Photoshop to put together the render pass layers and edit the compositions.
