What is 3D Modeling?<\/strong>  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

3D modeling is the process of creating a digital three-dimensional representation of an object or scene.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arab\u2019s Mouth<\/em> and Factory Theatre<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • MacDonald\u2019s second solo-authored play explores the dynamics of the MacIsaac family. Siblings Pearl and Victor must deal with the fallout of their father\u2019s will, which seeks to enforce body and gender normativity via the threat of disinheritance. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The play was first produced at Toronto\u2019s Factory Theatre in 1990, and the play script was published in 1995. In 2005, a revised version of the play \u2013 now called Belle Moral: A Natural History<\/em> \u2013 was staged at the Shaw Festival, and the new script published in 2008. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • While the two scripts can be compared as literary objects, we were interested in how to map the The Arab\u2019s Mouth<\/em> as an event in a particular theatrical space. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Field trip to Toronto<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Our mapping project included a field trip to Factory, where we were generously hosted by theatre practitioners and given an oral history of the space by Artistic Director, Mel Hague.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • During our field trip, Ann-Marie joined team members to participate in memory work, as she and team leader, Neta Gordon, tried to recall details about the 1990 staging of The Arab\u2019s Mouth<\/em>.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Using a 3D LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) scanner in a process called photogrammetry as well as a 360-degree camera, team members recreated a scale 3D model of the stage.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Photogrammetry is the technique of creating accurate 3D models by analyzing and reconstructing data from multiple photographs of real-world objects. When combined with LiDAR data, accurate topographic maps can be paired with images to create a realistic rendering.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
