About this 3D model

After scanning a few people, some art, and even my cat I was approached by Arland Whitfield, founder of Skyworks, with the idea to put our heads together & scan something BIG. The building we decided on was Holden Observatory on Syracuse University's campus, being one of the oldest buildings in the area and at a little over 2 stories tall it was the perfect sized challenge to try and bite off. ![Scanning Holden](http://teambudmen.com/scanning-holden/holds/holden-web-24.jpg) -------------------------------------- ##PROCESS Study From my experiments scanning regular sized objects, I knew there were 3 basic angles we needed to capture in order to get the scan. 1. Low and angled up 2. High and angled down 3. Directly above and straight down ![Scanning Holden](http://teambudmen.com/scanning-holden/holds/drone-animation-trans.gif) To read more about our process for scanning a full size building [check out the writeup](http://teambudmen.com/scanning-holden/)!
