For our project, we will be making 3D models of the official and unofficial mascots at Carleton. In addition to the models, we will also gather information about the background of each mascot on campus and share a story about how they were made into statues to display on campus. We have four ideas for the statues that we want to focus on.

Oscar the penguin in the library

Toff the cat in the library

The Knight in Sayles

Schiller that we have zero information about and welcome any insight on where and how we might be able to take photos of it.

The members on campus will take photos of the statues while the other members gather sources from the library’s archives (week 7-8). After taking the photos, we will use photogrammetry to construct a 3D model using Agisoft’s software (week 8-9). Finally, we plan on embedding these models into a website where the audience can take a look at the model and read the story behind each statue.

We think the Virtual Hampson Museum is a good model for what we plan to do.
