Since we confirmed our project topic in week 7, we have been collecting photos and background information on our four mascots (Oscar the penguin, Toff the cat, the Knight, and Schiller). As of right now, we are polishing our 3D model of Oscar and Toff using Agisoft’s software and setting up our WordPress site.

The biggest problem we have run into this week is photo collection. Schiller is nowhere to be found on campus and available photos of the bust are scarce. It is also difficult to take photos of the back of the Knight and Oscar due to the glass display cases they are in. To address this issue, we plan to supplement any lacking collection of photos taken in person with photos from the Carletonian archive, flicker, Instagram, etc, and may also create models that include their display cases.

It seems like we are still on track with our project so far:) Here is our timeline of deliverables:

8th week: Do some background research on the mascots and take pictures for photogrammetry

9th week: Start working on photogrammetry (An, Wyen, Erika) and constructing the website (Jadie, Sonya, Rodrick). Whoever finishes their tasks first will work on our group presentation
