[MCN-L] 3D Artifact Images
Or you could just use an old record turntable, or even a lazy susan and a protractor if you don't have a great many objects to do. They work just fine, even for very small objects. Just mark out the edge with divisions at the appropriate angles. Controlling the lighting is a little easier if you use black cloth as a backdrop, and if you use it to cover the turntable as well it isolates the object from its surroundings nicely.

[MCN-L] 3D Artifact Images, stitching together
RE: stitching images: Off the top of my head: We're doing this the other way round! ...taking a pan to turn a scene "inside out" to project on the inside of our planetarium dome. Still, the stitching software is potentially useful. BTW: We use up to 10 projectors, but take more photos. These are stitched into a single 360 "fish eye" intermediate image which is the chopped into the segments for our projectors. Similar ideas may be relevant to your application. My colleague Mike Koziniak, (mkoziniak at spacecentre.ca ...our "all sky" projection guru) uses a tool available for free from the University Of British Columbia ..."Autostitch". http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html There's a link to a free demo hidden at the very bottom of the page. Unfortunately, it looks like that this free version has the limitation of assuming the camera is rotating within a scene, and not rotating around an object. This is fine for us of course, but you may need the full version for your work. On the plus side it works very well with the default settings. Apparently a best practice is to have LOTS of overlap (50%?) as this gives the stitching algorithm the most data to work on to establish the relationship between the content of adjacent images.

Allison, It sounds like what you want to do is a Quicktime VR panorama (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/qtvr/). You can use something Autodesk Stitcher to piece together different angles. It just requires a way to keep the lighting consistent and rotate either the position of the camera or the object to take a series of views. For smaller objects, you can get platforms that do it.

[MCN-L] 3D Artifact Images
Hello, We are planning to put a portion of our Museum's collection online and we are applying for a grant to create 3D images of artifacts in our collection. 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!
