3D scan of a Terror-bird model from the species *Paraphysornis brasiliensis*. Members of the Phorusrhacidae family are commonly known under the term "terror birds". Species of these apex predators could reach a height up to 3 meters! They lived mainly in South America from the early Tertiary (55 million years ago) until the late glacial period. 

This model can be found in Hall 9 at the NHM Vienna.

It is an incredible experience to walk inside this architecture in VR!

Be sure to activate HD textures for best experience.

All elements have been UV unwraped to allow texture and lighting baking.
It is far from perfect. The small gap between uv islands is sometimes too small but I realise it too late after several full baking calculations that takes days !

Here is a test render with only the sun and clear sky.

I have used only basic material without glossiness nor bump maps to limit memory usage.
If someone want to go ahead in texturing work please share it !

I have split the models to seven 8k textures to allow constant pixel density with such large global surfaces.
I suspect that texture sizes are limited to 4K in VR, hence reduced images may only be available. So it might be necessary to repack to 4k but I am not sure that VR will handle 28 x 4k maps.

Day #5 of my Everyday a Scan series!


This week, I’ll be concentrating on the many different districts of San Fransisco, CA.


This incredible house was captured in the Mission district of San Francisco, at the intersection of York St. and 25th. This entire neighborhood is filled with Murals left and right. Some on people's garage doors, some on the entire side of the building, and in this case, the entire house. 

This mural was done by a group called Precita Eyes Muralists, directed by Max Marttila and Fred Alvarado in collaboration with the Urban Youth Arts Program. 


Make sure you sound is turned out, the audio of the space really puts things into context.

"Many Roman Catholic churches have a set of depictions of the 12 Stations of the Cross* but usually indoors. Rarely are they displayed outdoors in such a remarkable setting as here. The scenes of the Easter story are portrayed in 13 reliefs and the Calvary, the free-standing sculpture depicting Christ on the cross."

Consider this process a work in practice, I will clean all the meshes and textures over time and update.  The background wall and tower needs finishing with high res texture and normals maps to improve the realism, I appreciate the lighting needs work along with background to improve the presentation of these fantastic pieces, there really is alot for me to do on this one.

Sculpture of an angel on Calvary in Eisenstadt. 

The Calvary in Eisenstadt is an artificially constructed mountain made of stones, interspersed with grottos and small chapels, depicting the Passion of Christ. The Calvary was commissioned by Prince Paul I Esterházy (1635-1713), who had been very impressed by the Calvary in Maria Lanzendorf near Vienna.

Paimio Sanatorium is a former tuberculosis sanatorium in Paimio, Southwest Finland, designed by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. 

Aalto received the design commission having won the architectural competition for the project held in 1929. The building was completed in 1933, and soon after received critical acclaim both in Finland and abroad. 

The building served exclusively as a tuberculosis sanatorium until the early 1960s, when it was converted into a general hospital. Today the building is owned by Turku University Hospital but is not functioning as a hospital; rather, the building has functioned as private rehabilitation center for children since 2014. The sanatorium has been nominated to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Paimio Sanatorium

The monastry Flor da Rosa is a fortified castle build in 1356 by the Prior of the knight order of hospitallers, Alvaro Goncalves Pereira. The site is the supposed birth place of Nuno Alvares Pereira, saint constable of Portugal, an important figure in portugese history and an ancestor of the House of Braganza. The building also houses the tomb of Alvaro Pereira. 

Since the 1940s the site has been converted to a Pousadas, as a chain of luxury hotels located in historical buildings.

Mosteiro de Flor da Rosa

The chapel on Kreuzberg in Falkenstein is part of a small religious complex centered around the so-called Calvary Hill above the village. This area was designed as a place of worship and symbolically represents Christ’s path of suffering to Golgotha. Along the path are stone figures and stations that depict the Stations of the Cross, making the site particularly suited for quiet reflection and religious walks.

The complex also includes a simple chapel, often referred to as the Communion Chapel, which forms the spiritual center of this Kreuzberg area. It blends into the rocky landscape and is closely connected to other religious elements, such as a nearby Marian grotto. Overall, Kreuzberg and its chapel convey a sense of popular piety and religious tradition, as has been cultivated in the Weinviertel region for centuries.

Abendmahlkapelle

The statue of Saint Peter stands at the entrance to the Calvary Church in Kőszeg and dates from the 18th century. It is part of the Baroque tradition of the Stations of the Cross.

The saint is depicted in a humble, kneeling posture. His hands are folded in front of his chest, suggesting prayer or repentance. His gaze is directed slightly upward, as if he were turning to God. He wears a simple, flowing robe that falls in soft folds over his body. Particularly striking are the keys at the base of the statue—a classic symbol of Peter. They represent the “keys to the Kingdom of Heaven,” which, according to Christian tradition, were handed to him by Jesus.

Hl. Petrus

The statue of Saint Veronica stands at the entrance to the Calvary Church in Kőszeg and dates back to the 18th century. It is part of the Baroque tradition of the Way of the Cross.

The saint is depicted as a standing figure with a slightly turned posture. She wears a long, softly flowing robe and a veil over her head. With both hands, she holds an outstretched sweat cloth in front of her body. The face of Christ with a crown of thorns is clearly visible on this cloth – depicted frontally, with long hair and a serious expression. The cloth is carefully modeled and forms the center of the composition.

According to tradition, Veronica handed Jesus a cloth on his way to Golgotha to wipe the sweat and blood from his face. In doing so, his face was miraculously imprinted on the fabric. This so-called Veronica's veil became an important motif in Christian art and is closely associated with depictions of the Way of the Cross.

Hl. Veronika

Finger ring in gilded silver.

At the entrance to the Calvary Church in Kőszeg, there are two Baroque angel statues from the 18th century on the left and right. The figures symbolically accompany and guard the path to the church and mark the transition from the secular to the sacred space.

The chapel on Kőszeg Calvary, built in 1715, is the earliest solid religious building in this location and was constructed even before the present Calvary Church. It was built next to the wooden cross erected in 1686 and is associated with the intense religious practice that followed the plague of 1712, which prompted numerous vows and donations. No builder by name is known; the construction is generally attributed to the Jesuit community, which had a spiritual influence on Calvary and later also initiated the construction of the church.

The small, single-nave Baroque chapel has a rectangular floor plan, white plastered walls, and a steep tiled gable roof with a slender ridge turret and cross. Above the portal is a plaque bearing the date 1715. The entrance is accessed via a short staircase with side balustrades and is flanked by two small Baroque figures; a side window provides sparse light. According to local tradition, the chapel is dedicated to St. Donatus.

Kapelle

The relief depicted on the surrounding wall of the Calvary Church in Köszeg most likely represents a scene from Christ's Way of the Cross. At the center is Jesus Christ, recognizable by the halo around his head, in a posture of fatigue and quiet resignation. He is surrounded by several figures who can be interpreted as Roman soldiers or pursuers, driving him on or harassing him. The animated postures, the sometimes aggressive gestures, and the deeply cut folds of the garments lend the scene a strong dramatic tension and vividly illustrate the suffering of Christ. The richly curved Baroque frame with volutes and ornamental decoration highlights the depiction like a picture field and refers to its devotional function. In conjunction with the other reliefs arranged along the wall, the work is clearly to be understood as part of a closed-ended Way of the Cross on Calvary, which was intended for processions and personal meditation.
