Photogrammetry as a method to create 3D visualizations has become an integral part of palaeontological research.

Participants should bring their own digital camera (and be familiar with it) and laptop. Participants should bring (and be familiar with) their own camera (DSLR, compact, cellphone), (LED ring-) lights, tripods, and laptop computers. Scale bars will be provided. The workshop is limited to a maximum of 30 participants.

Note: This workshop will last 8 hours (including lunch break) and will overlap with other workshops. Participants are required to be present during the entire duration of the course.
