3DSOM workshop at Computer Applications in Archaeology
March 2009
3DSOM Pro will feature heavily in a workshop at this year's Computer Applications in Arcaheology conference (CAA 2009) in Williamsburg Virginia. The workshop is being run by Douglas W. Gann (PhD) from the Center for Desert Archaeology in the U.S. - Douglas has been an enthusiastic user of 3DSOM for a number of years and has had great success in using the software to create 3D models of archaeological finds using photographs.
CAA is an international conference occuring annually. This year the conference is taking place at the University of Virginia in the USA from 22-26th March. The workshop is entitled "New Dimensions in Profile Modeling: Rapid Digitization of Archaeological Objects". Workshop attendees will find out how 3DSOM can be used to share artifact models over the internet and will learn about the Center for Desert Archaeology's work in modeling ancient ceramics. You can find out more at the workshop page of the CAA2009 website below...

About 3DSOM Pro:
3DSOM Pro, produced by Creative Dimension Software Ltd, is a high-end tool for automatically generating 3D models from photos of an object. The object is placed on a special calibration target with a backdrop and a number of photos taken from different directions. A fully textured 3D model is created with the majority of the process being fully automatic.
