Historic Hasbrouk House

MYND Workshop embarked on a meticulous digital preservation project involving the historic Hasbrouk House, situated in the serene town of New Paltz, NY. Leveraging the precision of LiDAR Scanning alongside the detailed textures obtained through Photogrammetry, our team meticulously captured the essence of this architectural marvel, setting the stage for its virtual reincarnation.

Our objective was to encapsulate the house in its most authentic form, necessitating the capture of intricate details without the distortion of natural lighting conditions. To achieve this, we meticulously planned our scanning process to avoid direct sunlight and hard shadows, ensuring the house was documented under neutral lighting conditions. This careful approach allowed us to maintain the true character of the house, providing the flexibility to integrate it seamlessly into any virtual environment or lighting scenario within Unreal Engine.

Post-capture, the focus shifted towards refining the raw data to meet the demands of high-performance rendering within Unreal Engine. The model and textures underwent a comprehensive cleanup process, optimizing them for efficient performance without compromising the rich details that define the Hasbrouk House. This process not only preserved the historical integrity of the house but also transformed it into a versatile asset for virtual applications, ready to be reimagined in its original wintery context or any other envisioned setting.
