Emerging Technology Faculty Workshop: 3D Scanning

Capture the things you love—a shoe, a sculpture, a corner of a room—and place them in a small, navigable scene. We’ll teach a simple photo dance (how many shots, where to stand, what light to find) that produces clean results. You’ll see two flavors of capture—traditional meshes and newer “splat/NeRF” looks—and when each makes sense. Then we’ll drop your piece into a ready-made environment, set scale, and add just enough light for it to shine.

The goal is delight, not perfection: a fast way to bring the real world into your projects. Expect practical tips, friendly checklists, and lots of cheering when your scan first appears. You’ll walk out with a tiny scene and a repeatable recipe.

This event is for the FIT community only. 

Note: This workshop will also be offered on Oct. 13, at 4 pm.
