Things are busy as usual around here, so I don't have time to write much myself today. I wanted to make available to you, however, a nice document produced by Ken Lentz. Lentz took it upon himself to explore how to go from the 3D models that I'm producing for the Kirk Project to a set of linear measurements. As I wrote recently, getting those linear measurements is something I'm going to need to start doing again in short order. I used a freeware landmark-based program (tpsDIG, which I see is still available here) to derive linear measurements from images for my disseration. The program worked fine, but it was a bit labor intensive and I'm hoping to find an alternate path to getting the same measurements that takes advantage of the fact that I've got a detailed, scaled 3D model sitting right there in front of me.
Lentz succeeded in getting linear measurements (including angles, which I would really like to be able to measure) from a CAD program, but he had to go through a lot of time-consuming steps to do it. I'm grateful for his efforts, as I have had zero time myself to seriously explore the issues involved in going from 3D back to 2D. Thanks, Ken, for all your work on this (and taking the time to explain what you did).
