Last November I flew a Saturn V Rig over the campus of Middlebury College for other reasons and took hundreds of aerial photos. I walked the kite around these buildings so I was able to select photos which included views of the buildings from many different angles (but not every angle). So I tried it on some old kite photos.Ībove: One of 58 kite aerial photos submitted to ReCap 360.
The program linked me to an online version of ReCap 360 (free account required) which allows photos to be stitched together into 3D models. Laser and LIDAR scans to be combined into 3D models. While we are waiting for training to begin, I installed ReCap 360 and determined that it apparently allows only Some of us will be using Autodesk's ReCap 360 which allows multiple photos of the same surface or object to be combined into 3D models.
They now have a large suite of engineering and design programs. Autodesk created AutoCAD, the long time industry standard CAD (computer-aided design) program. to use its software and training to improve the designs of aerial photography rigs and to produce 3D topographic models from aerial photographs. Public Lab has received support from Autodesk, Inc. The models are made in "Preview" mode, not "Ultra" mode. If you have any questions on using this service or the software, they would need to be submitted through the program website, as SEASnet does not maintain this service.Ĭlick here to log in to the Autodesk Student Engineering and Design Community website.Above: Part of a 3D model (top) produced by ReCap 360 from 58 kite aerial photos and the same model textured with the photos (bottom). If you would like to install the software on a home computer, you would need to have the campus VPN software running on your home machine.Īlthough SEASnet is providing you with a link to this valuable resource, we will not be able to provide any support for these products. To be eligible to download software you must be connected to the wireless network on campus.
The Student Design Community is a vehicle for students to collaborate with other students on their campus as well as other universities around the world.
Design students are able to download free student editions of Autodesk software, find jobs, discuss projects, share work and learn from the experts.įree downloads of Autodesk® Revit® Building, Autodesk Civil® 3D®, Autodesk® VIZ and Autodesk® Inventor® are available to design students as well as e-learning, tutorials, curriculum and chat rooms. The Student Design Community sponsored by Autodesk® is a FREE social networking website for design students in the fields of architecture, construction, civil engineering and mechanical engineering.
