This document provides summaries of 3D models from various sources like the Smithsonian and Sketchfab. It summarizes 5 different models - a supernova remnant captured by the Smithsonian, the 1903 Wright Flyer plane, a 3D printed house model, a customizable power ring, and an untitled 3D model. For each model, it provides the source and original model, and notes any edits made to colors, materials, or added annotations.
2. SMITHSONIAN X 3D – CASA
SUPERNOVA REMNANT
The death of these star
is called a supernova
which was captured in
high resolution. They
were able to collect
enough data to create
this 3D model. This
model provides different
types of information,
including a video on the
rebirth and death of a
star. It doesn’t contain
annotations on the
actual model, though.
The original is in the left
picture. My edited
version is on the right
3. SMITHSONIAN X 3D :
WRIGHT FLYER (1903)
The Wright Flyer 3D model provides
information on the history of this
flyer. They also have a still image of
the moving plane as it takes its first
flight on December 17, 1903.
The original 3D model is located on
the top while my edited version is
located at the bottom. In my edited
version, I added a wireframe and
increased its reflection and turned
on the annotations which described
and explained the function of each
part of the plane. It now looks more
metallic and geometric.
4. SKETCHFAB : SERENEVAYA 10 BY
HOLZThis 3D model was actually created on CAD from scratch so there may be some
3D printing issues if the model is not watertight and manifold. This website
actually shows how many faces and vertices the 3D model contains.
The original is on the left. The rendered version I made is on the right. I turned on
the wireframe and made it blue. I also changed the scene into “Matcap” to show
more contrast.
5. SKETCHFAB : LEAKY ROOF
BY HARRISONHELI
This 3D model of some of the house
and area with emphasis on the roof
was taken by a UAV in search for
any causes for the roof leak. This
model would not be able to pass the
validation stage because there are
multiple openings and the area has
not been cleaned up. I do like that
this person investigated and added
annotations on locations with
probable causes for the leaky roof
and resolving them before it causes
more issues around the house.
The top is the original. The bottom
is my rendered version. I ended up
putting a green wireframe; it has
approximately 1.1 million faces and
6. THINGIVERSE : CUSTOMIZABLE
POWER RING
BY BESKYTT
This 3D model of the ring can
be altered and customized
Beskytt and it can be
customizable according to
size and color.
7. SKETCHFAB : MODEL BY A6B8
Original is on the left and my rendered version is on the
right. The back of this 3D model is hollow and it has
60,000 faces and 30,700 vertices.
