In the last post, I discussed the capturing phase for the first case study of the NUIM-AFF621: Remaking the Physical – 3D recording assignment. This post will examine the processing of the captured images with Agisoft Photoscan Professional. The captured images are of a bipartite bowl (2004E505:5) found in a cist grave in Liscooly, Co. Donegal. The images are courtesy of the National Museum of Ireland (Archaeology) who supported the project and provided … Continue reading

Post 3: 3DR – Museum Case Study – Capturing

  By shealy • 30/03/2015 Digital Culture, Heritage Recording

  The first case study for the NUIM-AFF621: Remaking the Physical – 3D recording assignment was introduced in the previous post. The vessel chosen for the 3D recording is a bipartite bowl documented by the National Museum of Ireland as file no. 1A/48/04 and registered as 2004E505:5. It dates to the Early Bronze Age and was found in a cist grave in 2004 in Liscooly, Co. Donegal. I also recounted the visit to the museum and … Continue reading

AFF621: Remaking the Physical – 3D Recording Assignment: Introduction

  By shealy • 27/03/2015 Digital Culture, Heritage Recording

  As part of the AFF621: Remaking the Physical module in the MA for Digital Humanities (NUIM), students were assigned to do 3D recording exercises for the purpose of evaluating their skills in digital recording and to assess their abilities to carry out effective workflows for 3D recording cultural heritage projects. Students were requested to focus on two case studies for the digital recordings. The first case study involved the capturing … Continue reading
