DIGITAL MEDIA CREATION POLYGONAL 3D MODELING FOR THE PHAYAO ARTISANS' SANDSTONE INSIDE THE NITHAT CULTURAL HALL, SRI KHOM KHAM TEMPLE, PHAYAO

Abstract

The objectives of this research were as to: 1) to study the Phayao Artisans' Sandstone Buddha Images exhibited in the Nithat Cultural Hall, Sri Khom Kham Temple, Phayao Province. 2) to create a digital media polygonal 3D models of the Phayao Artisans' Sandstone Buddha Images by using the 3D surface object techniques (photogrammetry and retopology). 3) to assess participants’ satisfaction with the polygonal 3D models. This research is qualitative research. The group of samples was 100 people who were interested in the Phayao Artisans' Sandstone Buddha Images. The education tools and operations were 1) The polygonal 3D surface object models of Phayao Artisans' Sandstone Buddha Images. 2) The questionnaire of satisfaction for polygonal 3D models of Phayao Artisans' Sandstone Buddha Images. The results showed that 1) The art forms of the Phayao Artisans' Sandstone Buddha Images that found in Phayao Province, most of them were influenced by the Sukhothai Kingdom. Moreover, they can be divided into 5 categories in terms of Buddhist art characteristics. 2) There are 10 pieces of 3D models using polygonal and surface object techniques with text and audio information about detail of characteristics. 3) The satisfaction with the polygonal 3D models of the Phayao Artisans' Sandstone Buddha Images was at a high level. In terms of data and the polygonal 3D models were 3.92 and 3.84 respectively. Moreover, there was 3.76 on the presentation. Finally, the overall satisfaction results were 3.82 that experienced a high level of pleasure.
