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.

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!

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).

Robert Stephenson's 0-2-2 locomotive [Rocket](https://collection.sciencemuseum.org.uk/objects/co8084947/stephensons-rocket-steam-locomotive) from the [Science Museum Group Collection](http://collection.sciencemuseum.org.uk/).  

Manufactured in 1829 by Robert Stephenson and Company in Newcastle, close to today’s Newcastle Central railway station, Rocket won the famous [Rainhill Trials](https://www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/objects-and-stories/rocket-rainhill-and-rise-locomotive)  to become the fastest locomotive of its time thanks to its innovative design.

This 3D model of Rocket was produced using 22 high resolution LIDAR scans and over 2,500 detailed photographs taken in May 2018. More information on how the Science Museum Group worked with [ScanLAB](https://scanlabprojects.co.uk/) to create the model can be found  in the [Science Museum Group Digital Lab website](https://lab.sciencemuseum.org.uk/scanning-stephensons-rocket-40916fdb4d20).

Someone in my family owns this beauuuutiful house in Provence. My family and I were lucky enough to stay there this summer. The sound of cicadas was constant during the day, and 2 donkeys (!) kept us company, walking around the property. The house is surrounded by fields of lavender, and old villages. Does this sound dreamy? It was.

Scanned in a few minutes, with an ASUS ZenFone AR phone featuring the full Google Tango hardware / software stack (depth sensor, etc.) and Google's own Constructor 3D scanning app.

3D Scan of Godzilla toy from NECA, based on Legendary Pictures' 2019 *Godzilla: King of the Monsters* and part of the Monsterverse.

5/21/2020: Re-Uploaded with updated Texture.

3D scanned in color with the Artec Space Spider 3D scanner. Total time spent 3D scanning: 5 minutes. After scanning in initial position standing upright on turntable, the figure was flipped on its left and right sides to capture under the tail and feet. 

Total time processing in Artec Studio software: about 3 hours. This articulated figure was rigid during flipping, however the tail segments moved slightly. In order to preserve this detail and fix the movement in post, the raw data was duplicated and individual tail segments were isolated so they could independelty be repositioned relative to the initial upright scan.

This Stegosaurus skeleton from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science is more than 26 feet long and over nine feet tall. The bony beast is a permanent display with steel shaped around it, welded in place, and puttied together, making it impossible to take apart. Which means it was super difficult to scan! Triebold Paleontology, Inc. scanned the dinosaur using Artec Space Spider and Artec Studio software. The scanning involved crawling into the rib cage, then perching atop a step ladder just to reach the peaks of the big fan-shaped plates on the dinosaur’s back. The scanner captured everything from the nose to the tail spikes. Beyond aligning the scans, Artec Studio also reduced the mesh size to the desired level for manipulating the 3D model and 3D printing. Scanning time: 1 week - Processing time: 2 months (629 individual scans across 71 scan projects).

Stegosaurus Skeleton

300,000 to 600,000 YA. The Homo erectus skull Peking Man is also known as Pithecanthropus pekinensis (Sinanthropus). The gray coloration indicates areas that were sculpted based on the original fragments. This scan was made as a collaborative effort between The Ohio State University [Department of Anthropology](https://anthropology.osu.edu/), the [Office of Distance Education and eLearning](https://odee.osu.edu/), and the [Department of Art](https://art.osu.edu/).

Captured with a Canon EOS camera array and processed/edited in Agisoft Photoscan.

This scan was produced in 2017 the 3D scanning lab, created and run by Andrew Frueh, in the Department of Art at The Ohio State University.

Residential Neighborhood Test Photogrammetry

I got permission for scanning in a local junkyard, the lighting wasn't the best, but I went to scope it out anyway. I'll have to go back in the winter when there is less foliage, I did manage to snag a few decent scans, but they'll be free because of the poor lighting conditions

*MV Spartan* was built in 1942 and is one of only two surviving Scottish-built 'puffers': a type of steam-powered cargo vessel first built during the 1850s for use on the Clyde and Forth Canal. Now Spartan is on the Designated List of the National Historic Ships Committee and it was the first vessel in the museum's collection when it was established in 1983.

*MV Spartan* is one of the most important objects in the Scottish Maritime Museum's collection. It sits just outside the Linthouse building, where most of our collection is housed. 
The vessel is not availabe to visit for the public, but we have a [virtual tour available online](https://www.scottishmaritimemuseum.org/virtualtours/) if you fancy a walk up the deck and inside!

The model was created as a part of 'Scanning The Horizon' 3D digitisation project.

We would like to thank [Historic Environment Scotland](historicenvironment.scot) and [Ulmus Media](https://ulmusmedia.co.uk/)  for their help during this project.

St Giles-without-Cripplegate Church in the Barbican, London showing the interior, rooms under the church and a cutaway of the exterior and tower.

This is a beautiful church sitting in the middle of the post war Barbican estate with parts dating to the 15th Century. The Cripplegate name comes from the nearby (and long vanished) Roman gateway into the City of London.

See annotations for details within the church.
