This model was scanned and produced with a research process that captures surface texture and specularity more accurately - the research is led by Michael Tetzlaff, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, as part of a research effort that began when Michael was a doctoral student in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota. The work was supported by an NEH grant, and the grant team included UW-Stout, Cultural Heritage Imaging, and Mia.

This model presents generated textures from the photographic data specific to this object by Kintsugi 3D Builder; more info at Michael’s Github - scroll down for the overview.
