Masterclass Evolution

One of the unique aspects of the 3D Scanning Masterclass is that it will evolve over time.  The coursework is not static and will be continually updated as time progresses, and new technology and techniques become available.  In addition, every dataset captured is made available, even for commercial work.

The masterclass begins with a series of foundational lessons on underlining technology and techniques as well as challenges you’ll encounter.  These foundational lessons will be updated as required.  More advanced lessons such as Environment Scanning for VFX can be found towards the bottom of the curriculum browser and put those foundational concepts into action.  Many of the advanced lessons may involve my personal research and development, if I have a good idea how to solve an issue, you’ll hear about it.

What’s up to you is how you apply these lessons.  Every scan is unique in many ways with drastically different requirements and conditions.  My way isn’t the only way and if you feel you can process the data in a new way, even a better way then this coursework has achieved its goal.  This masterclass is a conversation starter, not the end-all, be-all of 3D scanning.
