Following the very successful Introduction to Photogrammetry session during the 2016 library staff conference when some library colleagues were guided by Louisa Minkin and Elizabeth Wright and their students to produce models of the soon to be abandoned LCF library space, CSM library staff collaborated with CSM MA Fine Art students, technicians and course leaders to create 3D models of interesting library items.
For instance Visionaire no 33 (touch) was transformed into an animated flying object, allowing the viewer to pan 360 degrees, and zoom into the lattice metal box with its furry pony skin content https://skfb.ly/6orx7.
The techniques involved in creating a three dimensional model are complex and required expertise, and time for experimenting of the students, technicians and lecturers. The photographic capture and processing, some with specialist equipment and set-up, took several sessions lasting several weeks.
Dragon pop-up book is prepared for imaging. The stilts enable the cover to be captured as well as the content.
An item from the Materials and products collection is set up for capture
More of the students’ photogrammetry work will feature at the current annihilation event at CSM
