Finally, he used textured frames to apply texture to the resulting optimized geometrical model and made some tweaks in Zbrush.Д«enjamin is one of the first Artec clients to upgrade to Artec Studio 10. Then he performed non-rigid alignment and sharp fusion at 1 mm, which landed him at just 20 million polygons. Each was around 25 million polygons, so he decimated them to 1.5 million polygons. To streamline it, Benjamin did sharp fusion at the 1 mm resolution for each of the 18 scanning sessions. Scanning took two days in total and post-production another 10 days because of the huge amount of data, 57 GB. вЂњI was able to 3D scan quickly on site using Eva and the battery pack,вЂќ Benjamin says.Д«ecause the surface area of the Napoleon monument was quite large, Benjamin developed his own 3D scanning strategy for the project: вЂњI divided my work into 18 areas (18 Artec Studio 10 projects) taking care of having big overlapping areas for post-production alignment.вЂќ Recently he scanned an engraved prehistoric artwork depicting a mammoth, for which he had to take to a cave hidden four meters below the ground. In fact Benjamin uses the battery pack quite often. вЂњWhat is limiting in terms of 3D scanning with the battery pack is not the Artec battery pack but the battery of the computer!вЂќ Benjamin says. Most of the time Benjamin worked with a laptop and the Eva plugged into a generator. He also made sure to bring a battery pack to the site, which he used mainly when scanning the upper part of the monument.

With the Napoleon monument, the only prop Benjamin needed was a scaffold to access the monument from all sides, and the museum provided him with one. I often say to my clients: this kind of 3D acquisition was not possible before Artec equipment went to the market!вЂќ Also, some masterpieces we 3D scan today cannot be scanned with other kind of 3D systems than Artec 3D. The acquisition time has been reduced 5 to 10 times depending on the object to 3D scan. Now textures are perfectly captured and mapped on the geometry. That was a really time consuming task and not really precise because of human intervention. вЂњBefore that, weвЂ™d grab 3D geometry using a laser scanner, then make many pictures to reproject texture on the 3D model by hand. вЂњAlso, Artec scanners grab textures in real-time and this is a really great feature,вЂќ he adds. вЂњNow we use Artec Eva and Spider and it helps 3D scan in any conditions a wider range of artworks than our previous digitalization systems without using any targets or reference systems that can be problematic when working on museum collections,вЂќ Benjamin says. вЂњIn the past I used other 3D scanner equipment like laser heads mounted on arms and I can say that only Artec technology is able to perform 3D scanning of this kind of artwork on the fly or in hard environmental conditions.вЂќД«efore Benjamin bought Artec scanners Eva and Spider from our French resellers Boreal, his company was using 3D laser scanners. вЂњIвЂ™ve already 3D scanned some artworks representing horses and each time I think: thatвЂ™s one of the hardest things to scan because of the legs and hidden areas,вЂќ Benjamin says. The monument, cast by the famous French sculptor Emmanuel FrГ©miet in 1867, is located near the neighboring village of Laffrey. The task was commissioned by the MusГ©e de la RГ©volution FranГ§aise in Vizille, France, with a view to preserving the monumentвЂ™s 3D copy for posterity and preparing a 3D model for an exhibition celebrating the 200th anniversary of NapoleonвЂ™s return to France from his exile on the island of Elba. Among their clients are the British Museum, the Acropolis Museum and the Louvre-Lens art museum located in Lens, northern France.Д«enjamin has just shown us an incredible, watertight, ready-to-print 3D model of a bronze monument to Napoleon on horseback, which he scanned using Artec Eva and Artec Studio 10. IMA Solutions employ 3D scanning and visualization to develop new multimedia tools, such as 3D interactive systems, for the worldвЂ™s leading museums. Please meet Benjamin Moreno, the CEO of IMA Solutions SARL, based in Toulouse, France.

We are often asked how our scanners and software perform when scanning large objects.

The Goal: To use a handheld 3D scanner to digitally capture the entire monument and ultimately create a viewable/printable 3D model. Summary: To create a highly-detailed 3D model of this historical bronze monument for the then-upcoming 200th anniversary of NapoleonвЂ™s return from exile.
