Tidepools

I visited the ocean in early March to photograph likely sites for models. This one is complete. I took a series of pictures for photo reconstruction using Arc3d service and various Meshlab versions on my machines. I uploaded the slightly edited raw model that came back from the service to Sketchfab. I created my own Poisson mesh reconstruction and textured it with five of the pictures I took, and even though there are only 11,000 triangles for economical upload into a virtual world, this approach looks surprisingly faithful to what I saw in my visit. See the model for a week or so at LEA Sandbox in picks or by appointment.
