Model 50B - Hawksbill Sea Turtle Mesh

3D Model

This is a 3D mesh of a hatchling Hawksbill (ID Ei1801) sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata, straight carapace length 11.8 cm) that was initially rescued by the Loggerhead MarineLife Center, and then photographed with the Beastcam technology with 30 Canon G16 cameras. The sea turtle was released soon after in good condition. The 3D model was initially created through a photogrammetry scan using Capturing Reality.

Animator Johnson Martin used Blender to reconstruct the full sea turtle from these scans. Jeanette Wyneken from Florida Atlantic University, and Charles Mairne from the Loggerhead MarineLife Center each participated in this research.
