(*this is all purely speculation…I haven’t been able to find out much information about this step that is written in a way I understand. Admittedly, I am unsure exactly how this slider affects the fused result, but by moving it downward that amount turned the indicator bar from yellow to green, which seems to indicate a positive action. This is where today’s issue occurred the simplify tolerance slider indicated a number near 0.06xx”, and I moved it downward to 0.0500″. After aligning these two scans (which also was a challenge, as finding distinguishing marks on a sphere is VERY difficult, and because it is a museum object there was no way to add temporary markings for alignment), I determined that no further scans were needed, as all areas were well covered and there were no apparent data holes.Īfter aligning and trimming the excess data (scan arm, etc.), my next step was to fuse the images. The two scans were completed using the 3rd click (highest) HD setting, shading neutral, and each scan took about 27 minutes to complete. I did two, 360* scans of the baseball, rotating it 90* forward in a straight line to capture the areas at the top and bottom that were missed on the first scan (the image from the first scan looks a little like a donut, with what basically amounts to a hole through the center of the baseball). It’s a standard baseball, with a lot of wear…in one area the leather is completely torn away, revealing the string wrapping underneath. The first object I am scanning for our collection is a 1908 baseball used in a University of South Carolina vs. That being said, appropriately enough I have an issue from today that is prompting this inaugural post. Our hope is that by documenting our own successes and challenges, we can begin to create a body of information and work-arounds for issues we encounter, as well as solicit help from others. We’ve started this blog as a way to document not only the learning curve of the new group of assistants and interns in the SLIS 3D Imaging Lab, but to create a web presence and develop relationships with other institutions using the NextEngine 3D Desktop Scanner.
