MeshMixing it up

Today was a fun day as everyone was on MeshMixer creating their own interesting creatures in 3D.

The 6th grade teacher Heather Vogwill came and visited us today. She brought her new puppy, who is so cute, and we got to show her how we make 3D digital models.

3D model masters!

The group was working away on their different 3D model projects.  Some were still working on their photogrammetry models and others making their own creations.

Gearing up for our last art show

We are getting ready for our last art show.  A few of our students have finished their photogrammetry models and have been creating their own models in Meshmixer.

Other young artists are working on their projects.  We want to spread the word that this is our last art show and that everyone in welcome to come and see our work and to celebrate with us by sharing food at our potluck.

Processing and Editing

About half of us today were working on editing their models and the other half was working on building them.  We have all learned that patiences is a virtue in digital model building.  There are times when we have to wait on processing models, but it gives our young artists a chance to help out their fellow artists with building their models.  Cooperation :)

Jonelle cleaned her model and it is looking good...

Tundra Drums!

Hey check it out!  We were in the regional newspaper the Tundra Drums.  Good job Quinhagak youth!  Looking good.

Making models

We are working on the two different softwares, 123D Catch and PhotoScan Pro.  We have gotten much better with our picture taking and therefore have had some successful models built.  They do need some cleaning, but we are getting there.  Meghan Cleveland's model was built with PhotoScan and Tenaya's Model was built with 123D Catch.

3D Software

We have now been introduced to two ways to construct 3D digital models from photos.  First we used a software called AgiSoft PhotoScan.  Thankfully right now the company is offering a 30 day free trial of their PhotoScan Pro software, which we were able to use and practice constructing basic models.

The second way we started to learn was by using the Autodesk 123D Catch app.  This is a free app available for iPads, iPhones, Android, and Windows.  Its pretty cool because it helps you to figure out what angle to take the photos from.  Once you take the photos on your device you upload them to their servers and the model is constructed.

Remember we are just beginning...
