# Complementary Media

A range of complementary digital media is often produced as a result of 3D projects.  Such media includes:

### Static Images

* 2D images of the heritage asset
* 3D renderings of visually enriched models from several perspectives
* Elevations, plans and sections of the point cloud data
* Images highlighting specific features of the cultural object

### Animation

* Turn table videos
* Flythrough animations and video tours
* Structural animations showing the workings of different components of an artefact or a monument, e.g. animation showing a working water mill
* Temporal animations highlighting changes in a structure through time, e.g. animation showing a monument in its present day ruined state back to reconstructions of the monument at different points in time.

### Interactive Images

* Panoramas 
* VR Objects
