In order to capture this topography convincingly, we needed to capture it in a very high resolution, which is already a problem for most 3-D scanners. This fact is often overlooked or not fully appreciated. This is especially the case in the of late Rembrandt paintings and Van Gogh.
By illuminating a painting with light, it automatically gives highlights and shadows that form the way we see it. Paintings are not unlike sculptures, paint as a material has a huge impact on the way a painting looks. Not interested in any exploitation of this project, I moved on after I did the tech. This was a succesful project, we scanned and printed many paintings by Rembrandt and Van Gogh,ĭeveloped into a commercial project, and got a ton of international media coverage. I developed a super-high resolution, large-format 3D scanner, especially suited to 3D-scan paintings. “People might be encouraged to go see the real thing after seeing a replica in their own home town or museum.Schematic of our scanning setup (c) Sunday Times Instead of all the art being in one institution that has the money and the power to have all the best art in one place,” said London-based painter and sculpture Tom Lomax. “You could have other replicas in other galleries, and this could encourage the exchange of art. Scientists at a the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who created the system claim it is four times more accurate than current printing techniques. Blending both of these captures the nuances of the different colours in extraordinary detail, making a copy indistinguishable from the original. The method, known as RePaint is combined with a decades-old technique called half-toning, where an image is created by tiny coloured dots rather than in continuous tones. It works by using 3D printing to stack ten different transparent inks in wafer-thin thin layers on a canvas. The technique combines artificial intelligence (AI) with 3D printing to faithfully recreate colours from an original artwork with remarkable accuracy. Art galleries could one day replace priceless masterpieces with replicas that look virtually identical to the real thing thanks to a new 3D printing technique.
