Milstein Program Marble Busts

immortalized in digital stone sculptures

what started with having all the students get captured as meshes using the scaniverse application on my iphone 15

the busts were loaded into blender for decimation and editing. boolean operation with a custom manifold made the models have the rounded bottom appearance. a simple cylindrical pedestal was made for all the models

a CC0 marble material was found on ambientCG and used box projection simply to get the point across and not use either the scans textures or need to do UV unwrapping and editing by hand.

the pi and keyboard were configured to have all but the alphnumeric keys enabled. this would prevent users from accessing the backspace button. the editor used on the lcd was vi in insert mode with all decorations disabled such that the only thing showing would be the letters.
