"Visualizing RTI" Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) is a method by which artifacts can be analyzed for surface features like inscriptions or textures. This animation of a photogrammetric capture of Ptolemaic priests demonstrates how this process works

"CLEANING" A PHOTOGRAMMETRIC CAPTURE
Mesh & Texture Editing for the Moon House Archaeological Project Photogrammetric capture
in collaboration with Eric Heller, Ph.D.
The following images explore an enormous photogrammetric captured carried out by Eric Heller; when working at this scale, in a natural setting with changing lighting, it is very common for inconsistent lighting and texture shearing to occur within the model. These issues can be addressed using a mixture of Adobe Photoshop and Substance Painter
Integrated Photogrammetry: "Finishing" an Ancient Greek Temple
the "Portara" Temple at Naxos serves as a landmark for visitors arriving to the island by ferry or boat. This peisistatrid-era temple was never finished by its original tyrant, regardless, its doorway has stood the test of time. 
The extant site was photogrammetrically captured by Cyark and can be accessed at: 
https://www.cyark.org/projects/temple-of-apollo-portara/3D-Explorer
My hypothetical (re) construction examines how the temple may have looked like if finished in the two most popular architectural styles of its time. This project combines both photogrammetry and 3D modeling for the purposes of creating a guide to Classical Greek temple architecture.
