Xanten mail fabric: 3D reconstruction

The 3D model presents a digital reconstruction of archaeological mail fabric. To create 3D models of the rings, we used polygonal modelling functions of Blender software. In order to record the relevant measurements of the mail rings, we used a list of parameters. This list includes 11 parameters for a riveted ring and four parameters for a solid ring. The accuracy of the digital replicas of the rings was 0.01 mm. Subsequently the specimen of mail was tested in VR to reveal its physical and mechanical properties.
