Hi everyone,

Today, our spotlight takes us to Wollar, in NSW, Australia:

Sketchfab link:&nbsp;[https://sketchfab.com/models/39aa54edabee405aba3bd90841777ffd](https://sketchfab.com/models/39aa54edabee405aba3bd90841777ffd)&nbsp;

Will Heesterman shared some details about the building and the 3D mapping project:

“_In Wollar, NSW, Australia, lies this century old Anglican Church. The church dates back to the early 1900’s, with the oldest readable grave reading 1882. &nbsp;_

_As the town’s population decreased, the church was closed. It now lies abandoned on the outskirts of the village. I wanted to capture the unique castle-like design in its current condition before it declined any further._

_The images were captured with a DJI Phantom 4 in conjunction with Pix4Dcapture._

_I flew a double grid mission at 30m and 90% sidelap and overlap. This was followed by a circular mission at 20m, then using the free-flight mode I scanned the walls with the camera at about 15°, taking photos at 2m horizontal and vertical intervals. No ground control was used, however, 5 manual tie points were added to ensure a complete model. I edited the point cloud in Pix4Dmapper Pro to remove all unnecessary detail and added some orientation constraints before generating the 3D textured mesh._”

Enjoy the 3D experience and feel free to share your comments and your own projects.
