Problem (or just slowness) in downloading the almanac data?

Just returned from some great fieldwork in Tsodilo. More as I sort the mass of images, data and DStretch output...

OMG. I was just working on a 1945 pic of this, from the same spot

Oof. or antiques and -chalk paint-....

Oof. Struggling to breathe here in Johannesburg at 5, 750 feet....

😂 Indeed. Breuil had some.... interesting... ideas.

Oof. yes. I have come across this mis-usage recently, too.

And hard-pressed to find someone who can actually explain what it is and how it is better for 3D scanning - particularly in heritage...

Looks interesting! Where would one find the link to the hyvrid lecture?

Game Pass shelter. 3D model from 3000 images, overview (original is 32000 px wide. Don't think Bsky would be happy with that :-)

OnlyOffice is worth a shot. Much lighter than Libre/OpenOffice.

Second pic shows San rock paintings; the "Main Panel" at the Game Pass rock shelter.

Argh. Forgot the alt text. First post shows guide Raphael and Jeremy Hollmann standing in a 19th c. cattle kraal in the Kamberg valley

Back from some fieldwork in the Kamberg

OK. First attempt at painting. Colour's not quite right, but maybe a good start?

😜 Early prototype for a D-sub 15...

This is a 3D print from the model, and the 3D print alongside a plaster casting made from the print (via a silicone mould). Now to paint it!

While well documented (drawings and some photos), the original has been misplaced. So I built a 3D model based on these resources

Given some of the discourse about copies on here recently, though I'd post a thing I've been working on for a museum. It's a carved schist mould, used in early-mid 19th century Zululand to cast brass beads and wire (for bangles).

Even if it were true...

Screenshot of an old tweet from 2020. It reads: PhD student, c.2020: Here's a limited argument I made based on years of specialised research. Hope it's OK. Slightly sad face emoji. Philosopher dude, c.1770: Here are some Thoughts I had in the Bath. They constitute Universal & Self-Evident Laws of Nature. FIGHT ME.
