General / planning way ahead.... PS Pro 2.0?
« on: January 17, 2018, 08:05:57 PM »
I see that 1.4 is on the release horizon and it has lead me wonder about other changes further down the road. As a user that is funded via the slow wheels of government, I need to plan well in advance.

How far are we from seeing 2.0?

General / using symmetry to render a solid object
« on: December 30, 2015, 02:55:23 AM »
I've a project coming up where I can only access half of a specimen. It is a fossil that is mounted against a wall so I can't access to get 360-degress. Since I can model half and with the symmetry of the fossil I can use the 180-degree view to 'estimate' the back side.

Is there a way to do this with PS-pro? Or can I take the output into some other software and generate the other half to combine into a solid?

Suggestions or ideas are most welcome.

Cheers!

Hi,

This is hitting the news in the US about the efforts at the Smithsonian to digitize the collection as 3D virtual objects.  http://news.yahoo.com/smithsonian-museum-launches-3-d-exhibit-193941513.html

A good example is the whale fossil: http://3d.si.edu/explorer?modelid=386

The British Geological Survey is doing something similar too: http://www.bgs.ac.uk/collections/jiscGB3DTypeFossils.html

I work mostly with geological landforms from the scale of say, a dinosaur track up to cliff-faces (<100 m scale). The pdf is OK but the Smithsonian interface is great. Is there an output (other than pdf) that can be rendered that could in turn be easily incorporated into a browser-friendly format?

Cheers!
