Tankardstown Mine 3D Scan & Survey
Sunday 22nd September saw me embarking on an interesting and challenging project.
Working with Deri Jones of derij.co.uk, we set about Surveying and 3D lasar scanning of Tankardstown Mine in Co. Waterford, Ireland. coppercoastgeopark
The project was very much a ‘hands on’ process, where we found ourselves underground for 3 days using a Faro 3D Laser Scanner and a Leica Total Station to produce a very detailed and accurate map of the mines. I will then use the point cloud data (PREVIOUS EXAMPLE FROM DJA HERE), produced from the lasar scanner to create a 3D visualization of the above ground workings at the mine head.
Also as part of the project, Deri is producing interesting panorama images of the major features above and below ground, an example of which can be found HERE
Inset into these panorama’s will be ‘clickable’ more detail sections of the site to add depth and information to this innovative image format.
The whole process was made bearable and even enjoyable with the company, guidance and tolerance of our underground Mines expert, Hugh Ratzer.
And the local knowledge of Sean Corcoran of The Art Hand, and Brian Fleming were, of course, invaluable.

Yazino “Wheel Deal” 3d assets design
Working with Yazino Social gaming in London, www.yazino.com I produced some of the design assets for their most popular cross platform game SLOTS – Wheel Deal
Working alongside the coding team, the lead in the art department and the head of production, we streamlined the pipeline between the departments to radically overhaul the game look and feel by adding dynamic animation and producing realistic 3d renders for the game play.
I was responsible for the all of the 3d rendered assets of the game and work directly with the art director.
The game was produced of many months, but the designs I was working on took around 2 months to produce.
