Venus de Milo #StatuesTexturingChallenge [SMK]

This is a 3D model of a Neoclassical statuette, which copies an ancient marble statue in the National Archaeological Museum (Naples). It displays a woman (the goddess Aphrodite? a mortal?) partially draped in her robes. This pose and subject is a statue type called the “Aphrodite Kallipygian” (Callipygian Venus). This modern name came from the Greek words *kallos* (beauty) + *pyge* (buttocks). The original Roman work dates from the 1st c. BCE. It was recovered in the 16th c. missing its head.

100.KZ.11 Aphrodite Kallipygos Statuette

This is the same model as https://skfb.ly/G8Lr made from the same photos. It is slightly more accurate.

Aphrodite crouching at her bath (better)

Aphrodite, ca 360-340 BC J.-C., Cypriot production, Provenance of Amathonte (Cyprus), excavations of Ed. Paridant, Limestone painted. Musée du Cinquantenaire (Brussels, Belgium). Made with ReMake and ReCap Pro from Autodesk.

This feminine figure, with many jewels, holds a flower in her right hand and a bird, dove or pigeon, in her left hand. These motifs bring her closer to the bearers of offering, like the neighboring sculpture. The turreted crown, a motif from the Middle East, covered with a veil, however, designates it as a deity, Aphrodite, cult very developed on the island of Cyprus.

Aphrodite

I scanned this magnificent marble statue recently in British museum. There are models of the same statue in Sketchfab by 
nebulousflynn : https://skfb.ly/CVTr, https://skfb.ly/BAYV. 

More info: http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/gr/m/marble_statue_of_aphrodite.aspx

Scanning in a museum is not easy due to lack of lighting that affects the images' quality.

After Venus in furs from the Velvet Underground ([listen on youtube](https://youtu.be/AwzaifhSw2c)), here is a marine wooden version of Venus de Milo, burnt, washed by the sea, then repaired by a skilled craftsman !

Another WIP for [Sketchfab texturing challenge](https://goo.gl/6RDQUi), based on [Venus de Milo (Aphrodite of Milos)](https://skfb.ly/VOvX) (274k tris) from the [SMK museum](https://sketchfab.com/smkmuseum)

The modeling is done with simple boolean operation in blender, using an intermediate object sculpted by hand to carve the holes.

The materials are, as usual, a mix of various PBR textures and simple Cycles nodes setups to mix in the zones of influence of the materials.

There are way too many triangles and textures on that model in my taste... I'll probably upload a replacement with a more optimized version soon as I am quite happy with the results.

WIP - Exhibition room

This is an imperial age marble Roman copy from an original Hellenistic statue dated II century B.C.
The statue has been located in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence since 1669.
This artwork represents the life size statue of a sleeping Hermaphroditus, son of Hermes and Aphrodite.
According to the Latin poet Publius Ovidius Naso, Hermaphroditus was a handsome guy who was transformed into an androgynous form after a supernatural union with the water nymph Salmacis. The nymph Salmacis fell in love with him but was not returned, so she prayed the gods to physically join him along with her traits inside his body.
Hermaphroditus lived the rest of his life both as a man and as a woman, feeling the two sexes at the same time.

Sleeping Hermaphroditus / Ermafrodito dormiente

This is a 3D model of a post-antique marble statue by Bertel Thorvaldsen in The Royal Collection of Paintings and Sculptures at the Statens Museum for Kunst, in Copenhagen,  Denmark. The statue depicts Venus (Aphrodite), the Roman goddess of love, holding an apple. This apple represents the prize in the myth [The Judgment of Paris](www.theoi.com/Olympios/JudgementParis.html). The contrapposto figure looks down at the apple in her right hand. The left hand holds a cloth and rests upon a tree trunk.

100.DB.11 Venus Apple Thorvaldsen

Baroque statue of Hercules and Calliope in the garden of Belvedere Palace.

In Greek and Roman mythology, Hercules is a hero who received divine honors and was accepted into Olympus. His attributes are the fur of the Nemean lion and the club. He was the son of Zeus and the Alkmene. 

Calliope is one of the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne. She is the muse of poetry, science and philosophy. She is the oldest and wisest of the nine classical muses and was therefore the judge in the dispute between Aphrodite and Persephone over Adonis.

Herkules und Kalliope

My final entry for the statues texturing challenge organized by Sketchfab and SMK on the theme of gender representation in classical sculpture. 
Based on "[Venus de Milo (Aphrodite of Milos))](https://skfb.ly/VOvX)" by [SMK – National Gallery of Denmark](https://sketchfab.com/smkmuseum), licensed under CC Attribution”

**My interpretation**

I tried to infuse this model with the theme of the sea, thinking of this statue as an old ship figurehead.

Burnt and torn apart during fierce marine battles, it was then meticulously repaired by the ship's captain, who replaced the damaged parts with inclusions of aquamarine, and finalized his craft with seals of gold. 

I love to imagine the captain as a very masculine yet paradoxical man, a bearded giant letting his deepest emotions, hidden to its pairs, appear through his delicate work.

Textured in blender by cautiously mixing PBR textures, then baked to the unmodified challenge's model. Post-processing and lighting were kept simple to emphasize the texturing work.

A captain's pride

And yet **another WIP** for Sketchfab Texturing Challenge, with simpler (so less convincing) but much more optimized materials and textures (2k only, hence a lack of details...) than on the [Aquamarine Venus](https://skfb.ly/6xY6Y).

Considering the challenge "philosophy" (representation of gender in classical sculpture), I am not 100% convinced by the naive burnt/amber/fire war figure vs. washed/aquamarine/water deity opposition, and these models don't really have a "classical sculpture" feel to them...

I guess I'll have to make a choice if I ever want to participate in the contest!

The greek goddess Aphrodite

"Everything you have ever known, Kratos, will now suffer because of your sacrilege"

**game: God Of War 2**

Zeus (Greek: Ζεύς/Δίας) was the King of Olympus and the ruler of the Greek Pantheon, as well as the God of the Sky, Thunder, Lightning, Storms, Hospitality and Heavens. Youngest son of the Titans Cronos and Rhea, he was the brother of Hades, Poseidon as well as Demeter, Hestia and Hera - whom he would also wed. He fathered a line of all-powerful deities such as Athena, Ares, Hephaestus, Persephone, Zagreus, Aphrodite, Artemis, Apollo, Hermes and Dionysus as well as many mortal children such as Hercules, Kratos, Deimos, Perseus, Pollux, Peirithous, Minos and countless others.
