I restored a Roman temple... with CGI! Here's how
Рет қаралды 179,554
Күн бұрынSuperimposed reconstructions are, indeed, difficult. This video is an overview of the workflow I used to rebuild the temple of Castor and Pollux starting from a base image, a few sources and of course using Blender as the main tool.
I hope you'll find some interesting tips for your future projects!

Never used Blender in my life but the way you're trying to get into a head of an architect who's been dead for two millenia is absolutely mesmerising. I wish everyone was as punctual and precise when recreating historical sites.

Finally someone who acurately reconstructs a historical building and shows what (re)sources and research he incorporates in his modeling. A very clear, well designed and helpfull video!

@@durandboyExactly how colourful roman buildings were intended to be is still debated, it's not as clear cut (haha) as "clear marble roman buildings were never an intentional choice!"
@aquss33 4 ай бұрын
@@durandboy I believe he went for a restoration which makes it look like the rest of the building never vanished and remained there for the whole time until today, not for an era accurate representation, that's why he added the damage to the temple, you can probably bet it looked pretty different when it was first built which would of course be hard to recreate as there are no real sources about the exact colors

@janie When i was in Pompeii in the House of Faun, i noticed in the backyard, that the columns were made of bricks and covered with a thin layer of what appears to be white gypsum. The painted walls and graffiti are well preserved under the volcanic Tephra, so i guess the columns in Pompeii were intentionally left blank? (I'm not a specialist, but i did wonder about that when visiting Pompeii, knowing that the period Greek and Roman statues of gods were painted.)

This is like a masterclass on how to recreate architecture. Quite impressive considering that the original structured is almost entirely detroyed and the quantity of references is so minimal, while explaining the process step by step. I almost feel like I shouldn't be watching this for free.

Great job! I hope that someday the Italian government funds a big project to rebuild the whole Roman Forum in 3D, and put those models in a augmented reality phone app. I have been to the Roman Forum and I really think it would be a great use of Augmented Reality. And I hope the model in this video is considered to the project.

Sounds like the amazon series peripheral, where the future is pretty crumbled and there are near to no humans left, so the AR adds npcs and the fixed buildings. Would be pretty cool to have something like this in the reality. Would be kinda hilarious when you see some old romans getting drunk in the streets.

I've studied Classical architecture extensively, and I can say with confidence that your recreation is spot-on. Because I'm 17, a lot of people won't listen to me when I tell them, "The edge of the entablature should not extend beyond the shaft of the column," or, "Every column needs proper entasis." Your knowledge far surpasses that of ANYONE I know. Keep doing what you're doing, and never be afraid to call people out for their architectural mistakes!

You could fast forward 1000s of years right in front of your eyes.
