Wood carver working on a sculpture (you see all the tools used to do the work)
Hello everyone,
One of the important operations required in the preliminary study for the restoration of cultural relics is the study of the techniques of realization.
The Art Conservator carefully examines the cutural relic and records its observations to identify the constituent materials, construction techniques and tools used by the artist. In the latter case, the traces left on the surface of a wooden sculpture are the object of particularly in-depth study.
Precisely to study these traces, I use a technique that can be defined as “Macro 3D Scanning”: I scan portions of the surface of a cultural relics at high resolution and process the meshes with 3D software to enhance the traces present on the surface.
Below I post a series of these traces that I recorded on a wooden sculpture of the eighteenth century.
The scans were made with Mini Revopoint using the Feature, High Accuracy mode. After fusing, the Point Clouds were meshed at maximum resolution. The meshes were edited with Meshlab using the “Radiance scaling” shader and angling the “virtual” light in order to enhance the surface morphology. The snapshots were juxtaposed to photos of the corresponding areas.
I share the thought of PopUpTheVolume
Absolutely correct!
It serves to do other things than POP2 and POP1
The Revopoint team added another tool to the set
Interesting study.
Can you share with us the main dimensions of the wooden object ?
Have you performed a full scan of the object or just sample from areas of interest ?
The idea is similar to the macro photography
a portion of the surface scanned to the high resolution. Then elaborate with meshlab shader to study the fine traces surface morphology
I wish we have different shading options in Revo Scan , the base one washing off the details what is good for textured objects , but to see the fine details of the actual scan is not .
The shader ( no filter) that Davide is using highlighting the edges of the scanned object the way it really is , not adding anything , it just trace better the edges bringing out the actual details to light .
