The CMC team was a leading member of the 3D-ICONS consortium. This EU Research Project brought together experts from across Europe to perfect the digital 3D recording of buildings and archaeological monuments identified by UNESCO as being of outstanding cultural importance. 3D-ICONS also scanned various artefacts and sculpture of international significance.
The 3D-ICONS project contributed high quality content to Europeana, the EU’s online cultural collection. We significantly increase the critical mass of engaging 3D content available to Europeana’s users. In addition to project management, CMC work on further recording and modelling the houses at Skara Brae, part of the ‘Heart of Neolithic Orkney’ World Heritage Site. We also 3D digitised key artefacts from the National Museum of Scotland’s Skara Brae collection.
You can view the 3D artefacts we produced here: CMC 3D ICONS Skara Brae. Our structural 3D work on Skara Brae used data derived from the Scottish Ten project.
