Taran3D Brings Rare Manuscript to Life

On Tuesday 25th August, Taran3D & The Sikh Museum Initiative in partnership as the Anglo Sikh Virtual Museum are teaming up with The University of Leicester to host a special online webinar.

This event will showcase the creation of a new 3D model that we have expertly created of a rare Sikh manuscript that is held at the Special Collections in The David Wilson Library, University of Leicester. 

The manuscript contains writings from the Sikh Scriptures and was presented to the University by Harry Hardy Peach in the 1920s after originally being found on the battlefield of Ferozeshah during the First Anglo Sikh War of 1845-1846.

We helped bring the manuscript back to life through our intricate 3D technology, allowing us to show the external binding in stunning detail. We hope that this will form the basis for making the entire contents of this important manuscript digitally revitalised for future audiences.

If you’d like to attend this FREE event you can sign up HERE . You will receive a link to the attend 24 hours before the event.

Workshop: Making 3D worlds SketchUp Meets Unity at STEAMhouse

This two day workshop is designed for beginners with little or no previous experience of 3D modelling. You will learn the basics of drawing and 3D modelling in SketchUp and use it to create a 3D environment which we will then make interactive using the Unity3D game engine.

SketchUp is a simple to learn 3D modelling software that makes it easy to draw digital 3D objects and spaces. The programme is used for a wide range of 3D modelling applications including  architectural design, woodworking, product design, game design, exhibition design and 3D printing. We will use SketchUp Free, which is the no cost version of SketchUp that runs online in a web browser.

In addition to SketchUp, you will also be introduced to the Unity3D game engine, which allows you to import and interact with 3D content in real-time. The Unity game engine has an intuitive workflow and allows you to create interactive environments that you can ‘walk’ around. The Unity Game engine is also free for personal and learning use.

Day One – Introduction to SketchUp

  • How to draw and extrude shapes
  • Measuring and inferencing along the correct axis
  • Modifying 3D geometry – moving, rotating, deleting
  • Building a space

Day two – Introduction to Unity3D Game Engine
