Workshop Overview

3D Scanning / Photogrammetry is the process of extracting 3D information from photographs. It has practical and experimental uses, from engineering surveys to activist recording the destruction of the built environment in conflict zones. The workshop will take participants through the steps of creating detailed textured 3D models of an object, structure, or space from overlapping photographs. You will need to bring a laptop to the workshop with the relevant software installed, or you can rent a laptop with pre installed software from us.

‍

You will learn

* How to reconstruct an object digitally, in 3D

* The full photogrammetry workflow in Agisoft

* How to capture imagery to 3D scan an object, a room and a landscape

* How to align photographs

* How to build a point cloud from your object

* How to build mesh and texture from your object

* How to export your 3D digital reconstruction

‍

You will need to bring

* A laptop with Agisoft preinstalled 1

* Cinema 4D 2 and / or Rhino 6 3 or above installed

* A computer mouse

* A non reflective, non transparent, non metallic object to scan

* A camera or smartphone to photograph your object
