ATOR (Arc-Team Open Research). The blog spreads tests, problems and results of Arc-Team research in archaeology, following the guidelines of the OpArc (Open Archaeology) project.
In the first works I made involving forensic facial reconstruction, It was important to me modeling all from scratch. More than to model, I created all textures and illumination in each new work.
With the time, and with the experience, I noticed that some properties of that works repeated constantly.
Because this, I developed a methodology to make the reconstruction faster, both with humans as hominids.
In this post I'll show you how was the reconstruction of a Paranthropus boisei. The work, how ever, it have the help of the archaeologist Dr. Moacir Elias Santos. He took some excellent photos that was the base of the 3D scanning with PPT-GUI.
Using CT-Scans of a Pongo pygmaeus and a Pan troglodytes (chimp) how references, the muscles was modeled.
Because of the morphology, we decided to use a CT-Scan of a chimp how reference to be deformed and match it with the mesh of the P. boisei. We used InVesalius to reconstruct the CT-Scan in a 3D mesh.
Instead of modeling the P. boisei from scratch, I imported the mesh of an Australopithecus afarensis to be deformed and match it with the skin base deformed from a CT-Scan.
The edition of the mesh in Blender Sculpt Mode was done with a digital tablet Bamboo by Wacom (CTL-470). Surprisingly it was not necessary install anyone driver on Ubuntu Linux.

Archbishop Joseph of Edmonton reposed this afternoon, on the Feast of St. Nicholas. It is with much sadness that we report this.
Archbishop Joseph was beloved by his fellow hierarchs, as well as the clergy, and the laity, of our Church. We therefore, ask all the clergy and laity of our Church to remember Vl. Joseph in their prayers, and for the clergy to serve memorial services for him these next 40 days.
Give rest, O Lord, to the soul of Thy servant, and establish him in Paradise. Where the choirs of the Saints, O Lord, and the of the Just, shine like the stars of heaven, give rest to Thy servant who hath fallen asleep, regarding not all his transgressions.
