About the Collection
This collection is comprised of 3D models and still images of popular 21st century fiction from Katie Melsheimer’s personal collection. The models were created using the Magiscan app and then exported to a GLTF file format before being loaded into the collection. Each still image was caputred, edited, exported as a JPG file, and then uploaded into the collection.
The metadata fields for title, date, publisher, subject, page numbers, and objectid were taken from the Library of Congress’ catalog page for each title. You can find more information about how the metadata for this collection was configured, as well as a guide on how to complete the metadata fields required for this collection here.
