Description:
Erwin Hertz’s class of ’24 Athenian gavel that was made for him in China in 1925.
A 3D model of this is embedded at the end of this blog, however, in case you want to see more photos of this gavel. Check this google drive:

Process of 3D model Creation:
We as a group 3D modeled Erwin Hertz’s gavel by using the Scaniverse app.
Even though we didn’t achieve the desired outcome in our initial attempt, we gradually improved our skills in using the software as we proceeded. Despite our efforts, we still couldn’t obtain a satisfactory model towards the end of the lab. However, after returning from class, I experimented with the software and stumbled upon an option on the app labeled “reprocess scan”. I tried it a few times and managed to generate some promising outcomes.
Does the process of photogrammetry encourage close looking and attention to details you might otherwise have ignored?
Yes, photogrammetry can encourage close looking and attention to details that might otherwise have been ignored. The process involves capturing a large number of images of an object or a scene from different angles, and then using software to stitch them together to create a 3D model. This requires careful attention to detail in capturing the images, including lighting, positioning, and focus. Analyzing the resulting 3D model can also reveal details that might not have been visible in the individual images, leading to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the subject.
How does attempting to model an object compare to simply viewing one in an exhibition?
Modeling an object and viewing it in an exhibition are two different experiences that offer their own unique benefits. Attempting to model an object involves creating a digital replica of it, which can be helpful for studying the object in detail and understanding its structure. This can be particularly useful when dealing with complex or fragile objects that may be difficult to view in person.
On the other hand, viewing an object in an exhibition provides a more tangible and immersive experience, allowing you to see the object in its original context and appreciate its physical characteristics. It also provides an opportunity for social interaction and discussion about the object with other visitors.
Both modeling and viewing an object can be valuable experiences that offer different insights and perspectives. Ultimately, the choice between the two will depend on your individual needs and preferences.

Your blog post is so colorful and lovely to look at and read. I love that your 3D model is spinning on its own. Your point about analyzing 3D models is not something I thought about before and think its very insightful. Do you really think that viewing an object in an exhibition provides more information about its original context? I feel like it definitely re-contextualizes the object as a part of a collection of similarly categorized objects. You bring up some really good points about the social nature of viewing the object in an exhibition with other people. I definitely would not have had as much fun trying to produce a 3D model on my own. It is a really engaging experience to marvel at things together and talk about what makes you curious and discovering the ways in which different objects are more or less meaningful to different people.
Thank you for your feedback.. I’m glad that you found the 3D model engaging and the point about analyzing 3D models insightful. Regarding viewing an object in an exhibition, I agree that it does re-contextualize the object as part of a collection, but I also think that it can provide more information about its original context. For example, the exhibition may provide historical or cultural context that is not immediately obvious from just looking at the object. Additionally, viewing an object in an exhibition with other people can be a social and engaging experience, as you mentioned. It can be interesting to hear different perspectives and interpretations of the same object. Overall, I think that both viewing an object in an exhibition and producing a 3D model can be valuable and engaging experiences in their own ways.
