Holly Lodge School, Smethwick, Birmingham, UK.

At short notice, we were asked to supply a basic model of an entire school campus to act as the starting point for some animation and visualisation images for a re-modelling exercise. Tasked with the project on Thursday afternoon, we completed the bulk of the 3D laser scanning over the weekend, to avoid interrupting classes and minimising health and safety issues. Some 38,000m² of site was covered, using the longer range Trimble to pick off larger facades and working with the faster Faro scanner to pick up the more complex areas.

This was processed using Pointools / Rhino, creating accurate geometry and then applying orthographic texture maps in Maya. This model was supplied to the clients some 5 days after being given the project (no, we didn't sleep much!). We also supplied a full photographic survey used to map on to our orthographic roughs to add greater detail to the model for rendering.

The video we created from the pointcloud and the base model is here.. and the PDF is here..
