Hi Allison, Are you trying to create objects that appear to be 3D that web users can spin around on your website, or are you trying to create true 3D coordinate based models? Two very different approaches. We've done both at SI so either way we can lend some advice. Since you're calling them "3D images", I believe it's the former. I've bc'd one of our photographers who may be able to help (bc'd so he doesn't get all the listserve traffic).

Therefore, I would like to know, if you have made 3D images of artifacts: 1. What process/software/equipment consultants did you use to develop the 3D images? 2. How much did it cost to produce these images? 3. How many images did you produce? 4. In what application do your users view the 3D images? 5. Could you recommend a company or consultant who creates 3D images of artifacts? Please feel free to contact me off-list. Thank you!
