This model is derived from the Egyptian Museum of Berlin's 3D scan of the *Bust of Nefertiti,* obtained by Cosmo Wenman after a three-year freedom of information effort directed at the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.

BUST OF NEFERTITI, FOIA Results

Texture mapping on the clandestinely scanned bust
--
The texture was retrieved from my previous [photogrammetry model](https://skfb.ly/GWMR), while the 3D object was downloaded from [AD&amp;D 4D](https://skfb.ly/6QUFB)' Sketchfab model. 

The combination of these two models was completed with **MeshLab**, using the very efficient "Point Based Gluing" alignment method.

Finalization with realistic lightings performed in Sketchfab.

Nefertiti's bust (like in the museum)

###Busto policromado en el Neues Museum

**2016** Este modelo (A) ha sido distribuido por Nora Al Badri y Jan Nelles, artistas alemanes. Es una intervención artística para inspirar una revisión crítica de la noción colonial de posesión que permanece en Alemania y en  el mundo.  Escanearon la cabeza de Nefertiti de forma clandestina y sin permiso del museo.

What is the genuine Nefertiti?

This iconic bust of Nefertiti was reconstructed by **photogrammetry**, _solely_ from images found on the web. Hundreds of photographs can easily be found (_e.g._, Google images, flickr) ... but only a handful of photographs are available for the back and the top of the bust. This explains why the reconstruction is not so good for these sides. Fortunately, lighting can be adjusted in Sketchfab and the final result is rather satisfying considering the limited resources used to build this 3D model.

Softwares used: **VisualSFM**, **MeshLab**.
See the YouTube tutorial _["3D scanning for free!"](https://youtu.be/D6eqW6yk50k "3D scanning for free!")_ by [Phil Nolan](https://sketchfab.com/philnolan3d "Phil Nolan") to learn how to use these free softwares.

Nefertiti's bust

Dit is een kopie van de beroemde buste van de Egyptische koningin Nefertiti, echtgenote van koning Achnaton (ca. 1353-1336 v. Chr.). In 1912 werd de sculptuur in de Egyptische stad Amarna opgegraven. De sculptuur wordt vaak een buste genoemd, naar een typisch Westerse vorm van portretuur waarbij alleen hoofd en schouders zijn gebeeldhouwd. Oud-Egyptische beeldhouwers maakten daarentegen in de regel enkel beelden van het volledige lichaam van een persoon. De buste van Nefertiti was dan ook niet bedoeld om tentoongesteld te worden. Het is een voorstudie voor beeldhouwers, die op basis van dit model officiële, volledige sculpturen van de koningin konden maken.

Afgietsel van de buste van Nefertiti

3D μοντέλο διακοσμητικής προτομής της βασίλισσας Νεφερτίτης, εμπνευσμένης από την αρχαία αιγυπτιακή τέχνη. Το μοντέλο δημιουργήθηκε με τη μέθοδο της φωτογραμμετρίας χρησιμοποιώντας το λογισμικό 3DF Zephyr με σύνολο 35 φωτογραφιών που λήφθηκαν περιμετρικά του αντικειμένου.

Nefertiti

Nefertiti the egyptian queen

Διακοσμητική προτομή της Nefertiti, εμπνευσμένη από την αρχαία αιγυπτιακή τέχνη. Το αντικείμενο είναι ξύλινο, με λεία βαμμένη επιφάνεια και έντονα χρώματα που αποδίδουν λεπτομέρειες στο στέμμα και το περιδέραιο.
Το 3D μοντέλο δημιουργήθηκε με φωτογραμμετρία από 44 φωτογραφίες
