3D digital model of the 1608 churchSenior staff archaeologists Jamie May and David Givens are constructing a digital model of the 1608 church that the project has explored over the past two years. Using Google SketchUp, a 3D computer modeling software, May and Givens are transposing the digital map of the physical church site produced in the field with laser surveying equipment into a 3D hypothetical model of the church. Once placed on the archaeological map, this model will help give an idea of the scale and appearance of the building. more... |
