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
