Pottery Fragment to 3D Model (Workflow Simulator)
Simulate the basic steps of converting pottery fragments into a 3D model using photogrammetry.
Use tools like MeshLab or Blender to clean the mesh. Remove noise, close holes, reduce polygon count, and smooth surfaces as needed.
`, reconstruction: `Step 4: Fragment Alignment
To digitally reconstruct a pot from multiple fragments, import parts into Blender or CloudCompare and align them using the snapping and transformation tools. Use Blender modifiers like Screw for profile-based reconstructions.
`, export: `Step 5: Export & Use
Export the cleaned and aligned model in formats like STL or GLB for 3D printing or visualization. Optional: apply textures and lighting in Blender or Unity for interactive display.
