Interactive viewer for porcelain materiality and lineage assessment

This Dataset contains supplementary material for the Craeft Deliverable D3.2 For the trained eye, porcelain is never simply white and smooth; it is the visible trace of both what it is made from and how it is made. The material refers to the geological origin of the clay. Much of the finest porcelain begins with Limoges kaolin, a naturally bright, low-iron clay found in central France. It gives a potential for whiteness, purity, and translucency. The lineage is what makers do with that material. It is the set of recipes, firing, glaze, and finishing methods that transform clay into recognisable qualities. Lineages often become associated with 'house' styles. This viewer offers a consistent and interactive visualisation for evaluating material appearance across the aforementioned lineages and motion types. The viewer assembles all rendered animation frames into an interactive, browser-based layout. The viewer is a self-contained HTML interface. The viewer follows the same arrangement of illustrations as the table above. Each dataset appears in four coordinated panels:● Horizontal comparison: Neutral vs Limoges porcelain under identical conditions.● Vertical comparison: Turntable vs Orbit motion modes. -- Usage Instructions1. Download and unzip the ZIP archive.2. Open file porcelain_comparison_viewer.html in your browser -- ControlsBase Path: Normally left as ".", assuming the viewer resides inside the renders/ directory. If you move the HTML file elsewhere, specify the relative path to the renders/ folder.Dataset Menu: Selects which set of renderings to display: 1. Rings (RNG) - Spheres with gold equatorial bands, 2. Pattern (PTN) - Patterned surface texture, and 3. Compare (CMP) - Plain surfaces for neutral comparison.Frame Slider: Runs through animation frames interactively. The frame number is displayed in the number box.Keyboard Shortcuts: ← / → move one frame backwards/forward. -- DiagnosticsAt the bottom, an orange status footer summarises:● Dataset (Rings / Pattern / Compare)● Current frame number● Source folders for each of the four panels: 1. NEU-TT (Neutral Turntable), 2. LIM-TT (Limoges Turntable), 3. NEU-CAM (Neutral Orbit), and 4. LIM-CAM (Limoges Orbit) -- Comparative UsageThe four views reveal how material lineage and motion mode interact:●The turntable view effectively demonstrates the movement of illumination across a stationary camera, highlighting specular reflections and the glossy quality of the surface.● The orbit view illustrates camera movement with consistent lighting, highlighting geometric curvature and material thickness. Comparing corresponding panels allows distinguishing:● Subtle colour temperature and translucency differences between Neutral and Limoges porcelains.● Changes in gloss, highlight spread, and internal scattering among the eight material states.
