Programme:
Data acquisition (small to large specimens)
Basics of the Structure from Motion (SfM) method: what data does it require?
• Photography for SfM:
o Camera settings
o Specimen preparation & support materials
o Image capture methods with static or moving camera
o Scale bar usage
• Difficult cases: tiny, shiny, or otherwise problematic cases.
Model creation

o Data loading
o Marker detection
o Alignment and model creation
o Colors and textures
• Solutions for problematic cases
o Multi-chunk modelling
o Adding new photographs
Basics of model editing for printing, web display, scientific use, etc.
• Introduction to the interface and basics of GOM inspect, MeshLab and Blender.
• Mesh description, quality assessment and elimination of errors (e.g. holes, non-watertight meshes, non-manifold vertices and edges, etc).
• Scaling and mirroring.
• Sectioning for 3D printing
Long term data storage and scientific reusability considerations
• Data integrity and long-term reusability: what and how to archive?
• Digital repositories and licenses.
