Combining the Characteristics of the Buddha Statue from Photogrammetry and 3D Creation to Simulate the Combination of the Art of Creating Buddha Statue

The creation of this research was born out of interest in creating the art of carved sandstone into Buddha statue found in the area of Phayao Province, which was part of the Lanna Kingdom that prospered during the 19th-23rd Buddhist century. In the area of Phayao province, the sandstone Buddha was created which is an art and valuable artistic feature that has been shown until now. There are five categories of sand stone Phayao Buddha style that are studied and classified which have distinctive characteristics of each Buddha statue. Nowadays, traditional techniques for making Buddha statue are becoming less and less popular as Buddha statue made of sandstone are not as popular as before. Creating a Buddha statue from stone was a difficult and laborious process. Including craftsmen in carving began to decrease in number. In this research, a tool for collecting data on Buddha statue was used photogrammetry to store and process into 3D objects and use processes and techniques for creating 3D work that has been created, and simulating the Buddha statue by using the outstanding features of the Buddha statue collected as the main part in selecting the proportion of the Buddha statue to combine to form a new Buddha statue in 3D format by simulating the Buddha statue by such methods as a prototype to reproduce the appearance of Buddha statue for use in the creation of works of art that are an important part of history. It is also used to study the characteristics of Buddha statue in combination to create the characteristics, and a new way to preserve art by using technology to transfer and preserve these valuable works of art in another way.
