Qualitätssicherung von 3D-Modellen für die Online-Publikation

Abstract

Digital 3D models can be generated in many different ways and to different degrees of quality. But eventually, every 3D model should meet certain requirements to be classified publishable in an academic sense. These requirements pertain to visual quality as well as technical properties, including long-term archivability. In current practice, checking 3D models in regards to their quality before depositing and publishing in online repositories or databases is performed only rarely and manually. The use of free software allows to analyze 3D models automatically prior to publication, in order to meet minimal standards. In the following, an easy editing workflow that ensures the quality of a 3D model is presented.
