03 / FROM PLACE TO PIXEL

Preserving
a point of view.

This project traces a path from photographs taken on site to an explorable spatial image. The digital study records the surface, light, and surroundings captured by the camera.

  1. 01

    Capture the place

    Overlapping photographs taken with a Canon EOS 80D and a DJI Spark drone document the sculpture and its surroundings.

  2. 02

    Recover the viewpoints

    RealityCapture aligns the photographs and reconstructs the camera positions. The outputs are a textured mesh and a COLMAP export for training in Brush.

  3. 03

    Build the spatial image

    Brush training and SuperSplat editing prepare the Gaussian splat for presentation.

  4. 04

    Open it to exploration

    An SPZ export brings the capture into an interactive web viewer.
