This week we tried to finish our model and send it to the printer while working on our final report and presentation. We started the model over due to the fact that we could not figure out how to stitch the facades together. Maria A. uploaded 70 of the best pictures into 123DCatch again which took time to process each facade. This time, when we uploaded each facade into MeshMixer, we removed all of the extraneous parts, filled in the holes and smoothed out the surfaces before we added another facade into the program. We were better able to stitch them together with increased knowledge of the software. This time the facades were all stitched together. The only part we had trouble with were the 2 roofs. LeBow has one high roof and the highest part of the building and another one that slants downward in the lower section of the building. This was harder to artificially create in MeshMixer. But we did it and smoothed out any last minute imperfections.
Overall this program was very difficult to use. MeshMixer is a software that is supposed to be utilized for small inanimate objects and not for monumental architecture. Had we finished image collecting earlier with our phones, we would have had more time time to either become familiar with the software or switch to a different software and try alternative methods. Below is an images of our final deliverable and what it will look like when printed.
