Our work has begun! With the tiniest team possible, we picked up our scanning equipment (iPads, smartphones and measuring tools) and jumped headlong into the Digital Interactive Preservation process.
Getting animators to work with architects is incredibly fun, particularly when you realize how similar the fields really are. Despite the difference in mediums, it’s clear that both industries require a strong attention to ergonomics and the human psyche. In Architecture, every detail of a building has to be considered and planned, as it is in CG creation. These similarities made the interdisciplinary workflow all the more enjoyable, as we were able to exchange information and compare and contrast techniques between recording.
Our next steps after field visits begin with processing the scans in virtual space and simultaneously building architectural plans and representations, then integrating them.
A huge Thanks to the RIT Center for Imaging Sciences and Tim Bauch, our drone pilot, who has invested so much of his time helping us solve tricky questions and perfecting the drone-capture process.
