Abstract Landscape by Ralph Joachim at the PG Art Center Spring 2025
Notes
Ralph Joachim had an exhibition of his paintings and sculptures at the Pacific Grove Art Center, March-April 2025. I scanned the Gill Gallery on the last day of the exhibit so I could revisit his artwork anytime. This Augmented Reality 3D scan of the Gill Gallery has been saved at 100% of the scanned rom, at 50% and at 25%. Try all three sizes. The 3D sculpture of the red pole was scanned using Polycam's 360 feature. 20 MB

Antechamber with Pentecost Veil by John Dotson Exhibited at the PG Art Center 2024
Notes
John Dotson had an exhibition of his sculptures at the Pacific Grove Art Center, Sept.-Oct. 2024. I found his sculptures intriguing and captivating. I wanted to create a 3D AR experience so that I could examine the sculpture at my leisure. This sculpture has been saved at 100% of the object scanned, at 50% and at 25%. Try all three sizes. The 3D sculpture was scanned in Polycam using Lidar. 35 MB

Leaves on Cylinders
Notes
Scan this QR code to view the augmented reality 3D overlay on a vertical surface. The three cylinders were created using a variety of Adobe's 3D tools. 8 MB
Artwork by Jeff Sax Transformed to 3D Shapes
Notes
Scan this QR code to view the augmented reality 3D overlay on a vertical surface. The artwork by Jeff Sax was molded to 3D objects created using some of Adobe's 3D apps. 46 MB
Pacific Grove Art Center - Puppet Walks Through a Gallery
Notes
Scan this QR code to view the augmented reality 3D overlay on a vertical surface. This project was created using some of my assets combined with Adobe's Aero 2D built-in assets. The puppet is rigged, and I was able to manipulate it. This was a fun project. 39 MB
A Very Brief History of the Holman Building
Notes
Scan this QR code to view the augmented reality green screen gif-animation overlay of a boy onto an old image of the Holman Building in downtown Pacific Grove. The video of the young boy presenting the history of the building is dubbed. I wanted to demonstrate how easy it is to get involved in AR using only 2D media. 8 MB
Amanda Menefee's Golden Grain Painting
Notes
Scan this QR code to view the augmented reality 3D overlay on a vertical surface. Amanda Menefee let me play around with some of Adobe Aero's new tools on her Golden Grains painting. One of AR's triggers is "proximity enter," which triggers the sound of birds as the viewer approaches the 3D image of the painting. 8.3 MB
Two Boys with Sailboats
Notes
Scan this QR code to view the augmented reality 3D overlay of a statue of a young boy holding a sailboat. Pagorvians will recognize the statue at Lovers Point of a Boy with his toy sailboat. The statue was scanned with an iPhone 14 Pro using the Polycam app. The video shows two different file formats of the boy placed in a lovely spot at Ft. Ord. 9 MB
360º view of living-room
Notes
Scan this QR code to view the augmented reality 360º view of a living-room. Polycam captured the 360º view and created or "filled in" the ceiling as well as the floor where I was standing. An iPhone 14 Pro was used. 8 MB
Celebrating the Quilt Show at Good Old Days 2024
Notes
This is a 3-D scan of the quilt car, which was on display at the quilt show during good all days. Half of the car was in full sunlight, and the other half was in the shade of a tree notice how the light differences were evened out. An iPhone 14 Pro and Polycam was used. I output the quilt car size at 100% (the true size of the car), 70% and 50% (good for indoor as a full sized VW bug might be a little bit too big to interact with).
The quilt was made using left-over quilting blocks made by the guild members. I love looking at each block and imaging the quilt it was almost part of.
Pet the Stingray
Notes
I bought this 3D model to see if I could manipulate it in some of my 3D apps, and the answer is yes. It was pretty easy. This AR QR code employs the “proximity enter” behavior. 30 MB
