Ganesha, Candi Banon, Central Java

Really nice details, however I wonder if they remember to take photos from the bottom, as it appears to be hollow.

I can get an idea of their depth

Ille Cave and Rockshelter as the shape of the cave looks very realistic

Its very detailed

the shape, dimensions of the object can be more easily understood with the 3D models then 2D images.

I think the model on the Munsayac Cave is particularly impressive.

I think 3D modelling is a useful mean to show the structure of the object.

By zooming in and out, and pan around, I can better visualize what the object actually looks like.

I find Bubog 1 an interesting 3d Model to learn from because its name in Philippines translate to shattered glass and in the site you can see a lot of shattered shells from human activities.

With the 3d model, I can see the layers of shell midden which would be hard to see from a 2d model. It is also easier to understand where the shells are located in the cave and here we can see that it is underground.

Ganesha, candid banon from Central Java was the most interesting to me where the sculpture has a head of an elephant but the body of human.

3D modelling can gives us much more details.

Continued from ans 2, from 2D modelling we can only learn about 1 side of the object but with 3D modelling, we can study multiple sides of the object all at once

Borobudur Temple Indonesia

I could see the whole structure of the site.

In the 3D model, we could see the context from different angles, but in 2D model could not.

Borobudur Temple Indonesia catches my attention. At first, I thought it was a labyrinth with such a complex structure. Then I was amazed by the multiple layers of this temple.

My first impression for 3D modeling is authentic. It perfectly catch details of the real objects/sites, and is able to display them in multiple angles.

Ganesha.

A person with head of elephant

It is hollow, no organs or other structures can be observed. This characteristic is difficult to be expressed in 2D image

Ganesha, Candi Banon, Central Java.

3d modelling provides the structure of the objects which is similar to the real one.

3d models allow us to see the structure and the shape of the object in different angles while 2d cannot.

I chose the Ganesha, Candi Banon, Central Java one which attracts me at first sight.

3D modeling gives me a new perspective to look "inside" the objects instead of just appreciating their appearance.

I think the inner structure is what you could hardly learn from the 2D images. For example, the object I chose if I didn't see it from the bottom I would never know that it is empty inside. It's surprising but inspiring.

The Kyauk-ku-umin Temple

3D modelling allows me to go through the complete structure of that object,. I can learn about the decoration, the structure and the details of the object from 3D modelling, which I can’t acquire from 2D

Kyauk-ku-umin Temple, Bagan, Myanmar because I think it is cool that they can 3D model entire temples.

It is very useful and educational because it provides high-definition viewings of these artefacts/buildings without having to see it in person.

These 3D models allow us to view the object/building from all sides and angles, and can even imitate the experience of seeing an artefact in person because of how immersive the 3D model is. It also shows us the depth of an artefact.

I am particularly interested in the 3D model of Munsayac Cave. I am impressed by the ability to scan the whole cave with a lot of details on a large scale and with lots of constraints when scanning.

My impression of 3D modelling is that it is a useful tool for reconstructing objects and sites. It is more engaging, interactive and provide more perspectives than a photo itself. 2D photos somehow is limited by the direction and it may be harder to reconstruct the whole scene and story even different angles are provided. 3D modelling is easier to look into details.

I found this 3D model interesting to learn from because it’s the god of the religion most of my family members follow.

Although some parts looks clunky. Overall, it did a very excellent and precise job in modelling it as when zooming it, I could see more details pop up.

The backside and some of the sides details of the artifacts

Tham Phra, Thailand by noelbynature

This 3D model looks very amazing cause it shows the details of the buddha status and the structure, things surrounded the status.

3D model can provide some views that we could not see by our naked eyes or reach through that particular places.

Ganesha, Candi Banon, Central Java is interesting.

It is an elephant head with human body and in siting posture. But the human body with four arms. It is so strange.

3D modle offers us mutiple perspectives to observe the objects. For instance, we can see the front side and back side of the same object.

Tête de Buddha

I can look at the artifacts at every angle with very clear details. That is interesting.

2D images can't provide such clear and details information from 360 degree as 3D modle can do.

Kyauk-ku-umin Temple, Bagan, Myanmar

Rich of details and pretty nice appearance, however, only the outer layer of the temple is shown is the 3D model, I cannot really see how the inside part of the temple looks like.

Sometimes, the 2D photos cannot enable people to have a 3D outlook of the site but only the projections of the sites. However, the 3D model can.

Tête de Buddha

Provide opportunities to comprehensively understand the appearance of cultural relics through the Internet and facilitate the world's understanding of cultural relics

It is difficult for 2D pictures to express the material of cultural relics, but 3D can

The materials of cultural relics can help characters understand the user’s financial resources and other backgrounds

Kubyauk-gyi (298), Bagan, Myanmar.

My impression of 3D modelling is that it could provide more details, give idea of the dimensions and shape of the object more clearly.

From 3D images, taking historical structures as examples, it enables us to view the structure from a 360 degree and even the interior of the structure.

Kyauk-ku-umin Temple, Bagan, Myanmar because I think it is cool that they can 3D model entire temples.

It is very useful and educational because it provides high-definition viewings of these artefacts/buildings without having to see them in person.

These 3D models allow us to view the object/building from all sides and angles, and can even imitate the experience of seeing an artefact in person because of how immersive the 3D model is. It also shows us the depth of an artefact.

i found the kapal borbodur model intriguing. It models a borobudur merchant vessel and was particularly helpful in visualing the compartmentalisation of the vessel and how it was put together structurally. being able to view the rigging and beams from different angles was particulalrly helpful.

I find 3d models to be considerably more helpful in visualizing the object and its compartmentalisation. The inherent limiation of a sketch is that the perspective is fixed. Some things visibile in three dimensions simply cannot be viewed, and consequently any understanding one forms is incomplete.

I am amazed by the technology used in Kyauk-ku-umin Temple, Bagan, Myanmar.

I think 3D modelling is a valuable tool that creates digital representations of objects and environments, thus allowing for detailed analysis.

I can understanding spatial relationships, depth, and scale from 3D modelling but not 2D modelling. 3D modelling also offers a sense of immersion and enable virtual exploration for interpreting architecture, organization.

Munsayac Cave

It was very impressive and detailed. The 3D modelling resembles much details. the texture reveals the long history of the cave and reflects the historical background.

2D model can hardly shows the texture and great details of the rock.

Batu Gajah megalith. This looks like a tiny thing with many details to replicate and the 3D modeling did the job really well. Also, this does not mean that other models are not fascinating-- I actually like all of them, they are amazing

(a) My impression is that they can replicate the object with a huge amount of details in a relative correct and authentic manner.

(b) I think that 3D models can help us to learn more details on the objects, like, its overall size, zoomed-in details, and some features that is normally cannot be shown completely on the 2D pictures, as well as those details too small to be expressed in the 2D picture, the scale, texture, as well as the 3D depth of the carving, etc

Kubyauk-gyi (298), Bagan, Myanma

It is very interesting due to the great detail of the temple. Also, it can show the whole structures as well as the colour and texture.

In 3D models, we can turn and move around the temple so that more information can be found. Also We can even look at the interior side.

3d model of cars

allow us to see the detail clearly

from different angles

Chua Phong Phu

can check the things from different angles, but need to pay a lot hard work to build a 3D model. Lots of time there is only two directions of photos so sometimes it looks quite strange.

For 2D image, I cannot know how the thing looks like in different angles but 3D can.

Kyauk-ku-umin Temple, Bagan, Myanmar

3D modelling seems to be a great way to interact with models virtually, with being able to proactively zoom in and move around the object.

3D modelling can present the dimensions well with accurate data, without the need for imagination. While 2D images could only present one side of the model or an incomplete view of the object.

Kyauk-ku-umin Temple, Bagan, Myanmar

as it shows the details of the whole temple (even the grass)

I think 3D modeling modelling is complicated and take ab lot of data to make

The scale and the dimension of the objects can be studied deeper in 3D

The one that I thought was interesting to learn form is the Ganesha, Candi Banon, Central Java.

My overall impression is that 3D modeling in archaeology is a powerful tool that has revolutionized the way we study and understand archaeological sites, artifacts, and cultural heritage.

I believe that it allows archaeologists to create accurate and detailed virtual representations of objects and environments, providing a wealth of information that may not be readily apparent in 2D images alone. For example, they provide a spatial context that allows researchers to better understand the relationships between objects and structures. Archaeologists can also gain insights into the layout, scale, and organization of archaeological sites that may not be evident in 2D representations.

I think the 3d model ‘Inside Sula-mani-hu-hpaya (Sulamani) Temple’ is particularly interesting to learn from because the model is a site rather than just an object.

3d modelling allows users to make their imagination becomes visible. Comparing to 2d models, 3d models can be animated and interacted with in virtual environments. This opens up possibilities for creating dynamic visuals, simulations, games, and interactive experiences.

Kapal Borobudur

The 3D modeling technology allows us to have almost full degree of freedom to examine the object we are studyin. That is also the main different from 2D pictures, where you can view in one angle only for a part.

Despite the high flexible feature, the modeling may not work well if it is low in detail.

Ganesha, Candi Banon, Central Java. A model showing a creature with 4 hands and an elephant nose sitting on the floor. I would love to learn about the context and the background idea of this art behind.

Very interesting way to appreciate an artefact, like it is what I see in the museum.

We can appreciate the artefacts from all angles in 3D, while we can only see them in one single angle in 2D, where some crucial details may not be shown. Hence, we can get a much better understanding of the artefact from 3D view.

Ganesha statue from Candi Banon, Central Java

3D modelling allows us to closely see textures and visuals without the need of interacting with the real artefact

3D allows us to see dimensions and depth of artefacts which 2D may not always be able to show
