The October 2025 Paleontology Study Group Meeting will be held on October 18th, 2025 at 7:30 via Zoom. The topic is “Creating 3D Digital Models for Paleontology”. It will be presented by
Shellie Luallin.

Shellie Luallin will be presenting “Creating 3D Digital Models for Paleontology”. 3D models increasingly appear in the digital realm – in TV shows, movies, commercials, and in science.  Methods to create models grow more sophisticated – and expensive.  Still, there is an affordable and achievable way to create models that can help in many ways such as identifying specimens and teaching about them.  This presentation will include a discussion of photogrammetry, how to make 3D digital models using Agisoft Metashape, a way to display 3D models, and resources for more learning.
