Methods of creating realistic spaces – 3D scanning and 3D modelling

Abstract

Article shows two modern methods of creating realistic 3D spaces. The comparison includes 3D scanning with FARO Focus 3D X330 and 3D modelling in Blender 2.8. Analysis of methods for creating realistic 3D spaces can be useful in many fields e.g.: architecture, 3D printing, games industry, visualization, criminalistics, reverse engineering or monument documentation. The paper also describes process of generating a chosen space for each method. Each of the two approaches is assessed in terms of the expenses, precision and degree of reflecting reality.. Article includes an analysis of encountered problems and their possible sources. The paper also evaluate usefulness and profitability for each method. A research was carried out and focused on degree of immersion for VR visualizations depending on the used method.

Comparative analysis of Unity and Unreal Engine efficiency in creating virtual exhibitions of 3D scanned models

“…Alike settings for the museum were applied as well. The model of the museum area including lamps, sconces, pedestals and a front door was created using Blender software which is free to use [14]. A virtual visitor can move around in the created space from the first-person perspective.…”

Analysis of the Quality of Printed Pla Samples Using Various 3d Printers and Print Preparation Programs

“…3D modeling is a process of creating a mathematical interpretation of the surface of a given object. As a result, a threedimensional object is obtained [6]. To create it, it need special computer software such as CAD.…”
