Using a piece of scrap foam, I built a rough whistle form. I chose foam simply because I knew that its surface is not as clean as scupley, and wanted to take full advantage of the laser scanner to show the roughness of the foam. I worked with Nick Tourville and we initially disagreed on material choice. However, stone made much more sense because of the mottled texture of the scan. The process of going through alignment, filling holes, and exporting through different programs was actually fairly simple, but very time consuming. The PC was very slow, if it had a faster processor I'm sure it wouldn't have taken so long. Overall I find that Laser scanning technology is insanely useful, and it was a good skill to learn.
an explanation would be nice to accompany this. what is the object? why this choice of materials etc. what did you learn during the process
