3D modeling can be used to preserve artifacts to look extremely life-like in case of them being destroyed or lost in time. It can also answer questions regarding the quality of a certain building or stuff that can’t be seen through the naked eye. 3D modeling also helps preserves buildings

3D Modeling from Photographs with Photogrammetry
First things first Go to Agisoft.com/downloads/installer to download the PhotoScan Standard Edition. A demo mode is available for free that will let you try everything except exporting and saving your model. Download the sample photograph dataset that we will use in class today So far in our

Manual 3D modeling techniques are very effective and have had a long history of producing impressive digital humanities projects. Lisa Snyder’s long-running project to recreate the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1863 in Chicago is a prime example of what these techniques can accomplish in skilled hands. Increasingly, however, computers

Last week we begun to get stuck in to our class project on reconstructing 1876 Northfield and the context of the James-Younger raid. We began the process of digitizing building footprints and gathering the archival research that will let us build them in 3D. This week we are going to
