OUDF603: Miniature Scale Model House

As part of my development work, I decided to use a miniature scale model of a house (1:76 Scale Italian Townhouse) to allow me to closely study and replicate the scenario practically. Instead of modelling the house on Maya right away, a scale model will give me great reference and an advantage in avoiding flaws in my design. The scale is an undecorated resin model cut using a Class IV laser cutter and it requires 2 coats of Anamel and Acrylic paint.

The main problem with using a scaled down construction is that small components do not react to forces in the same way as it's full size target would, therefore instead of destroying this scale model in real world environments, it would be wiser to scan the model using a free software known as Autodesk 123D catch. 

123D catch lets you take a series of images of your scale model (usually 20) and scan them into the software, giving you a high poly mesh in which you can save and export into Maya. On Maya I will then be able to run various simulations using DMM and use them as tests for development work.

Below are some images of the undecorated resin in the process of being painted.
