Mock Helicopter Crash Scene

A **map of Dark Souls** recreated in 1/bigger than 1 scale. Made by scanning, heavily editing and combining the game's invisible collision datas in Blender to make something viewable when close. It took longer than I expected, and it's far from, you know, good, but I hope it's educational or entertaining.
*(Oolacile, Ariamis and Undead Asylum not included due to the file being too big)*

Thank God for backface culling.

A collection of 282 (A.K.A more than you'll ever need) lowpoly people. Allright. Who cares. **Where is waldo?!**, that's the real question!

Automagically remeshing body scans to lowpoly assets (check out my growing collection of [free assets](https://skfb.ly/6yQSW)!), which can be used for archviz placeholders.

Each model has its origin located at its feet, so that placement in a scene is made easy. However, some refined scaling is probably needed as some children have become giants in the process...

**3D EVERYTHING**

Female hand

This 3D skull model was created by laser scanning the Museum's iconic *Diplodocus carnegii* cast.

Rotate, zoom in and explore the features of this popular dinosaur.

Dippy was the first *Diplodocus* (DIP-low-DOCK-us) to go on display anywhere in the world when it was gifted to the Museum in 1905. It quickly became a star, capturing hearts and imaginations.
Dippy then left the Museum in 2017 to complete a whirlwind tour of the UK. The skeleton will be on display at the Museum from 27 May until 2 January 2023.

https://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit/exhibitions/dippy-returns.html

To mark this event, we have prepared a set of 3D printable files which can be downloaded and printed on a conventional desktop 3D printer and assembled to create a three-quarter scale model of the skull, or a model which can be compiled from laser cut sections of cardboard.

If you do try this out, let us know how you get on in the comments!

Based on a scan of a replica of the "Mayflower" ship, processed by @spogna and available [here](https://skfb.ly/6u8T6).

Like in the [Mosquito in Amber](https://skfb.ly/6xWCO), most of my attention was spent on normal maps, roughness and refraction settings to try to make this model as realistic as possible.

I actually had to create a secondary internal surface for the bottle, and also relied on clear coat options for the glass material in order to try to give the model a feeling of thickness. 

To try to get the opacity right, I used refraction on the outer layer (normals offset checked), and alpha-blending on the inner one.

All of the modeling was done with Blender, but the critical part for the model aesthetics relies on Sketchfab materials and post-processing.

Ship in a bottle

Still working on automated body scans (this time from @itseez3d) reprocessing. ( [There are more!](https://skfb.ly/6zqCE) )

The noses are still bothering me, and I fear I'll have to include a manual step in my scripted workflow to keep more geometry on the face than on the body.

1500 triangles models, 1024px albedo and normal maps. The model materials are from front to back: 

1. albedo + normal map
2. normal map only
3. smoothed normals (no albedo, no normal map)
4. flat shaded

As usual, feel free to re-use for any purpose under the CC-attribution rules, and stay tuned to [my lowpoly assets collection]( https://skfb.ly/6yXXZ ), as more will come soon!

WIP - Lowpoly People - 2

The King’s hall is the most lavish of all the rooms at Skokloster Castle. It is situated in the middle of the Wrangel apartments, between the rooms of the count and those of the countess. In the Wrangel era the room was called ”The Everyday Diningroom”. In the 18th Century, when portraits of kings and queens started filling up the walls, it became known as ”The King’s Hall”.

This 3D data of Kokura Castle was made using photogrammetry. This is Avatta's first attempt in using drones to make high quality 3D architectural scan. We have photographed over 1500 images from all directions and the data was processed using Agisoft Photoscan. 

Kokura Castle of Kitakyushu, Japan was built by Hosokawa Tadaoki in 1602. It was the property of the Ogasawara clan (from Harima) between 1632 and 1860. The castle was burnt down in 1866 in the war between the Kokura and Chōshū clans.

Mori Ogai was based at the castle at the turn of the 19th-20th century when it was a military base.
The keep was reconstructed in 1959, and the castle was fully restored in 1990. The Matsumoto Seicho museum and castle garden were opened in 1998. The old Japanese-style pre-Brunton lighthouse from Shirasu is in the castle grounds.

A collection of reprocessed scanned animal skulls ([other free assets here](https://skfb.ly/6yQSW)), initally designed to be used as as game props, particles or for optimized renderings. 

**BUT**:  the method I used for remeshing and texture baking was not adapted in this case, and many normal inversions for instance have happened. Moreover, as these assets were batch-processed, I neglected some parts of the material, hence some black zones on the scans... 

You can of course still use them for your projects, but know that the quality on those baked models is not that good! Plus 1024px is too few for those complex objects...

Each model is made of 2500 triangles, and 1024 pixels albedo and normal maps.

The original scans were first remeshed with [mmgs](http://mmgtools.org), and decimated, UV unwrapped and baked in blender. Normal maps are ready to use for Unreal Engine, don't forget to flip their green channel in Unity!

All the original scans come from the great collection of UVic Libraries - @uviclib .

This is the Hardy Tree in [St Pancras Old Church](https://goo.gl/9AiihJ), Camden, London, UK ([OSM](https://goo.gl/ydVXeA)). The tree was reportedly planted by the author Thomas Hardy and the roots are embedded in pile of gravestones. 

![hardy_tree](http://www.estatevaults.com/lm/-Hardy_tree_St_Pancras_London.jpg)

The point cloud is a combination of a RIEGL VZ-400 scan and a ZEB-REVO (to get detail around the gravestones). Scanning done by University College London ([@kungphil](https://twitter.com/kungphil), [@mathiasdisney](https://twitter.com/mathiasdisney), [@UCLgeography](https://twitter.com/UCLgeography)).

This work was funded by the NERC National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO).

Hardy Tree (Camden, UK) and gravestones

Logo: On a dark sky background, 3 rows of words, "20th","CENTURY", and "PICTURES, INC.", apparently carved out of stone and/or metal, are seen. The words are "stacked" on top of each other, with similarly carved lines separating the rows. The "20th" is the biggest row, with "CENTURY" and "PICTURES, INC." a bit smaller. A circular stage-like structure juts out from the base of the "stack," with a light below the structure that shines in front of the "stack". There are pedestals on both sides of the stack, each with a non-moving searchlight. In the background, several searchlights scan the sky. This logo was designed by Emil Kosa, Jr. The logo was created as a painting on several layers of glass and animated frame-by-frame.

FX/SFX: The searchlights in the background.

Music/Sounds Variants: There were a couple of re-recordings of the fanfare that were different than the later re-recording used in the TCF logo. One of the two was used on 1935's Les Miserables and The Call of the Wild.

This is a 3D animation ("Shelly") of a near-adult loggerhead (ID=982.000406129037) sea turtle (*Caretta caretta*, straight carapace length=86 cm) that was initially captured on June 23, 2017 by the Inwater Research Group, and then photgraphed with the Beastcam technology with 20 Canon G16 cameras.  Photographer Christine Shepard operated the cameras and the sea turtle was released that same day in good condition.  The 3D model was initially created through a photogrammetry scan using Capturing Reality.

Animator Johnson Martin  used Blender to reconstruct the full sea turtle from these scans, as well as animate the movements. Jeanette Wyneken from Florida Atlantic University, and Charles Mairne from the Loggerhead MarineLife Center each provided feedback on the movements.

Model 47A - Loggerhead Sea Turtle

The bedroom of a game developer living out in the very heart of the English countryside. The building was built in the early 1900s and the loft was used for the servants' quarters. I guess they were either short or used to keeping their heads down - either way the door frames have had a fair amount of skulls smack against them since.

Generated with Agisoft Photoscan, then cleaned up in Meshlab, Maya and Houdini.
