en.Wedoany.com Reported - The creative studio Okyena Collective, based in Germany's Bremen, recently completed a high-fidelity digital documentation of sculptures from the local Afroasiatic Gallery using SHINING 3D's EinScan Libre all-in-one laser 3D scanner. The studio was co-founded by digital archivist and 3D artist Fara-Farai Awindor and fine artist Merci Ewuresi.

The Afroasiatic Gallery houses multiple artworks of profound cultural and historical significance, but previously only accessible to on-site visitors, limiting its impact. This project aims to overcome this physical limitation by transforming physical sculptures into detailed 3D models, making them suitable for broader applications such as archiving, education, and artistic creation.

The EinScan Libre features wireless operation capabilities, with its built-in screen and NVIDIA processor supporting the device in completing the entire process from scanning to mesh independently, without the need for cables or external computing devices. This characteristic enabled the team to work flexibly within the gallery's compact space. The scanner also supports markerless texture laser capture, a technology the team relied on to record the rich surface details of the collection.

Texture fidelity and geometric accuracy were the core objectives of this digitization effort. The sculptures in the collection feature intricate carving details, diverse material surfaces, and organic forms, imposing high demands on capture precision. Awindor stated that the team focused on capturing the complex geometric shapes, chisel marks, and material surface textures of the sculptures. The precision of the EinScan Libre allowed them to record the subtle tool marks and organic textures crucial to the historical narrative of each piece.

The generated 3D models will be used for artifact preservation, educational outreach, and broader public engagement to fully showcase the cultural value of the collection. SHINING 3D noted that this project reflects the growing interest among museums, galleries, and independent artists in using 3D scanning technology for artifact digitization and long-term collection management.
