New High-Res Models of Rocks from Sonora Pass Area

Here are three new HD 3D models of rock samples from the Sonora Pass and Columns of the Giants Area.  If you'd like to learn to make your own 3D photogrammetric models, an older workflow is posted below.  Agisoft Metashape Program has a majorly discounted price for educators.  I'll be leading a workshop in July at the Earth Educators' Rendezvous in Nashville.  I hope portions will be recorded for use at a later date.
