Resources for Primary Source Documents Primary sources are resources that were first-hand created in a given period of time and never undergone any kind of editing or distortion. These sources are multimodal and they come in different forms. They can be artifacts, documents, pictures, recordings, essays, photographs, maps...etc. Now with the globalization of knowledge and the pervasive use of digital media, primary sources become accessible to everybody with an internet connection.

I have been scouring the web for several hours and finally come up with this selection.

Open Source Photogrammetry: Ditching 123D Catch – We Did Stuff This is part one in a series on open source photogrammetry. In part two, I’ll flesh out more VFX-centric application of this workflow. Before I start, big thanks to: Dan Short: for showing me his awesome 123d models that sparked this whole ideaHannah Davis: debugging + emotional support + snacks So a few weeks ago, Dan Short showed me 123D Catch. Until Dan showed me some models he generated from exhibts at the AMNH I didn’t really get the point of Catch…so what, you have a model of your water bottle…but what Dan showed me was that it worked incredible well on environments too: The Hall of African Mammals or even the penguin diarama from the infamous whale room!
