[Nhcoll-l] Community standards for 3-D models for research purposes

[Sidlauskas, Brian]

Hi Leslie,

Thaddaeus Buser led a workflow paper in 2020 that addresses some of these topics, particularly with respect to recommended open-access software.  Here’s a citation and link that might be of interest.  I hope it is helpful!

T J Buser, O F Boyd, Á Cortés, C M Donatelli, M A Kolmann, J L Luparell, J A Pfeiffenberger, B L Sidlauskas, A P Summers, The Natural Historian's Guide to the CT Galaxy: Step-by-Step Instructions for Preparing and Analyzing Computed Tomographic (CT) Data Using Cross-Platform, Open Access Software, Integrative Organismal Biology, Volume 2, Issue 1, 2020, obaa009, https://doi.org/10.1093/iob/obaa009

Best Fishes,

--- Brian

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of any community standards for producing 3-D models for research purposes?  What types of software? What types of hardware?  Price? How/where do you store them?   We are exploring the option of producing research grade models of our Type specimens to use for loans in conjunction with good, high-quality photographs.  Our Science Education department doses produce photogrammetry models for educational use.  You can see them on the Digital Atlas of Ancient Life  https://www.digitalatlasofancientlife.org/<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalatlasofancientlife.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cbrian.sidlauskas%40oregonstate.edu%7C0fbb5f90f0eb4b7d491808da3e74f7a4%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C637890969343503281%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=IxXmjVdcsUxkbL%2ByS3rL4o2Ou5rRf4ayNXcX5%2BoxZWs%3D&reserved=0>  We know that these are not of high enough quality for research, but they are very useful for education and possible identification.

Any thoughts, caveats, advice, or knowledge would be appreciated.  You can contact me off list if you would like.  Details below. Thanks

--Leslie
