On this page, you can explore the pilot project we have prepared for an Australian private equity firm about the digitization of a highly-valuable artifacts.
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation is an American aircraft company and a subsidiary of General Dynamics. Gulfstream designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and services business jet aircraft. Gulfstream has produced more than 2,000 aircraft since 1958.
We have prepared the following pilot project for gulfstream as part of the evaulation for their use of 3D scanning and data management system.
The Australian Private Equity firm is in a posession of a very large art collection among which there are illuminated manuscripts (from the middle ages) that are worth more than 10mio eur.
The digitization of these artifacts to the highest quailty is really important as they are locked away in a basement away from sunlight away from the eyes of the public. So the only way the public can interact and view these highly valuable items is in a digital format. So digitizing and storing these objects close to reality as much as possible is utmost importance.
During the pilot project we have selected a book, that was not part of the collection, but had similar optical features, so that we can run through the complete digitization process without having to organize the security and additional procesudres to mke a book available.
The 3D digitzation was split into two areas: PBR scanning (with the colormass Scanner) and Photogrammatery for acquiring the geometry that was done by a custom setup (not handeled by colormass).
Both the photogrammetry results and the cleaned up (correctly topoligized maps) were uploaded to the CMS so that the supervising 3D artist can make the necessary quality review, including the adherence to the object scan and topology quality.
Since the PBR scanner is directly connected with the online 3D CMS the final results were automatically uploaded as textures:
And the client could then process and edit the final materials as needed, using the online material node editor.
From the uploaded 3D assets the following renders and videos were generated. These are all completely 3D generated (no AI or photoshop post processing is involved).
We scanned not only fabrics but also layered wood finishes. All of these materials were ultimately assembled into a complete jet interior for the final rendering. The rendering was done out using the colormass Rendering Platform, which seamlessly integrates with the svBRDF scans from our scanner to ensure the highest visual quality.
The final images can be seen below, all rendered using various scenes from the colormass library.
