Found Objects

Method
I started out looking for objects around and how I can blend real life objects with digital, which is a major part of my intention this semester - blending of CG and real. I remembered about the broken hand sculpture at RMIT, I'll try to ressuruct it by photogrammtery

Context
Inspired by previous photogramatery works of Tedd Penny's presentation, I wanted to start of with a physical object instead of starting out on the computer.

Response
I visited the sculpture several times to cover up the portions which were not tracked properly, right timing and day was necessary as it was outside, we don't want to have hard shadows and highlights, a part cloudy day works best. Computer also went through several restarts because of stuck portions and redo's. Though the finished model is highly detailed and awesome, the mesh is very heavy, it'll need major performance optimisation to be able to use in any kind of interactive experience.
