EVENT DETAILS
A deep dive into the universe of 3D scanning & the wide range of applications for this technology. Whether your work focuses on storytelling, art, merchandising, e-commerce, product design or brand marketing, in this workshop, you will be exposed to all sorts of ways volumetric data can create & enhance an experience.

During this hands-on intensive, we will go over multiple projects created by capturing volumetric data from the real world & placing it in the digital one with techniques such as high-fidelity photogrammetry, laser scanning, & computer vision. RLab's 3D Scanning Intensive will take participants through not only the tools, but also the optimization methods for 3D scanned content so that these assets can be displayed in various platforms such as WebGL, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, & 3D printing.

In the course of 2 days, participants will have the opportunity to create 3D scans of different objects, environments, or even themselves. They will also get hands-on experience with prototyping a project for the web & augmented reality.

Taught by new media artists / creative technologists Michelle Hessel & Woraya (Mint) Boonyapanachoti, this intensive workshop will offer inspiration & important insights on current & future applications for 3D scanning.

COURSE HIGHLIGHTS
A brief intro to 3D: How is 3D content different from 2D? What is volumetric data?

The theory behind 3D scanning: How is 3D scanning different from 3D modeling, what are the areas it is currently being used? (architecture, prosthetics, art, etc.)

Current Tools for 3D scanning: What are the tools out there? When to use what?

Pipeline for asset creation: Photogrammetry workflow, Hand-Held Laser Scanning workflow

Photogrammetry in a controlled environment: Field trip!

Tweaking your assets: What is a pointcloud? What is a mesh? Texture files? Polygon count? Why do these things matter & how to work with it?

Pipeline for asset optimization: NYTimes pipeline

Prototyping an experience: How to incorporate 3D scanned content in your practice? (Snapchat Lens demo)
