Bomarzo

We aim to create a 3D educational model and an integrated VR environment of the site of Sacred Wood in Bomarzo, Italy. We hope to create a tool that will aid in the monument’s preservation.

I used Agisoft Metashape and played around with different methods to achieve the following results. My early attempts at the models helped Dr. Garton’s colleague to secure a national Futures grant and helped Dr. Garton to present the project to grant boards.

Project next step: We are waiting for the data collection from the drones + LIDAR scanning from Dr. Garton's colleagues.

• 

  First try

  First try at the model. A lot of noise and not very clear figure.

• 

  Adjusting cloud points

  Adjusting parameters and cleaning up some noise. Still not very good. Processing took a long time so it was hard to play around and see quick results.

• 

  Trying dense cloud points

  I combed through forum posts and watched some tutorials. I played around with the angle tagging, parameters, and crawled some more pics from Google. A world of difference!
  
  This took me around 1.5 months including learning how to do baby version of photogrammetry. Each processing trial took around a day to finish.

  Final version & Demo

  Final version!
  
  This was the version that Dr. Garton and colleagues used for their grant applications.
