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

[Leslie L Skibinski]

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/  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
