La Motilla del Azuer (Daimiel, Spain) is a Bronze Age fortified enclosure built of stone and defended by an outer wall and several intermediate walls. Dating between 2200 and 1500 BC, these walls protect the oldest and most well documented motilla in the Iberian Peninsula. Additionally this site exhibits an impressive funnel-shaped well that is more than 20 meters deep allowing it to reach the aquifer.

Some of the data for this project were originally collected as a joint effort between researchers at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), the Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) and CVAST at the University of South Florida (USF) under the legal permission of Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha (Expte. 16.0834-P1. Sistema de documentación 3D del Patrimonio Cultural de Castilla-La Mancha). Data were provided by UCLM and FBK and are now being re-analyzed and re-processed by Global Digital Heritage (GDH).

This model displays a rigged horse (Horse Rig) in a static position. The rig is diverse, and allows intricate control for each of the horse's attributes, this includes the spine, head, arms, legs, tail, as well as intermediate joints of those areas, and other bones. Found in the file, is an 'armature', this is the object responsible for all of the horse's movements, allowing the model to qualify for usage in animation.

The rig can be accessed by moving into ‘pose mode’ and roating or moving the desired armature bone. This will result in corrresponding movement with the bone, allowing it to be very useful for animation, as it can be keyframed, and animated.

The mesh is quite low poly, possessing 5,000 faces, though, with the subdivision surface modifier, the face count is increased. 
More following will corresponsingly lead to more models, so if this one is enjoyed, and liked, there will be more free ones to come.

Please comment any questions or queries.

[Original HR object](https://www.artec3d.com/3d-models/napoleon) (6.8M tris) captured by [Artec 3D](https://www.artec3d.com/) ( [on sketchfab](https://skfb.ly/RWsK) - 200k tris).

# Process

* The initial mesh was remeshed to an intermediate object with Meshlab (quadric edge collapse decimation) and **mmgs** (6.8M -> 950k tris)
* Details (ropes and sword) were splitted from the horse body (mark sharp edges -> edge split -> separate), and batch remeshed for better results.
* The resulting meshes (70k tris total) were then manually unwrapped (+manifold edges seams) and merged.

# Material

The material was created from scratch on the high resolution object before being baked to 2K textures:

* Bronze patina on the top
* Mix of metals on the body
* Smoother metal on the edges

I decided to create my own bike in 3D since It’s always by my side.

This is my first ever project that I made, so I learned alot while making It, so basically Its my course from absolute beginner to somewhat intermediate, so some parts are not that great then others.

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 - Aquamarine Venus

The globe has a round, Dutch-type base, equipped with a compass (the needle and the glass plate are missing) with the rose of the winds on the dial. The names of the directions are abbreviated, and north is marked with a fleur-de-lys. The globe’s horizon is made of wood and has an octagonal shape. It is supported by four legs turned in wood. The globe is 7–9 cm wide, with each side having the length of about 20 cm. Attached to the wood is a paper layer made of four parts. It depicts the azimuth, zodiac (degrees and symbols), as well as Julian and Gregorian calendars. All the elements are given Latin names. The cardinal and intermediate directions of the world are described in German.

**From wikipedia:**
The StG 45(M) (abbreviation of Sturmgewehr 45, "assault rifle 45") sometimes referred to as the MP 45(M), was a prototype assault rifle developed by Mauser for the Wehrmacht at the end of World War II, using an innovative roller-delayed blowback operating system. It fired the 7.92×33mm Kurz (or "Pistolenpatrone 7.9mm") intermediate cartridge at a cyclic rate of around 450 rounds per minute.

This one is based off the weapon seen in this video: https://youtu.be/NrKhJC35QRA

It represents a typical living house of the Late Period (664-332BC) in Ancient Egypt. One can see two entrance doors at the ground level and several windows in the upper floors as well as a roof terrace. 

This type of the tower house evolved at the end of the Third Intermediate Period and continued to be in use in Egypt until Roman and even medieval times. 

In the Middle East as for example the Yemen, Saudi-Arabia or the Oman tower houses quite similar to this model are still built and lived in nowadays:

Several different periods of armed figure here.  The central, larger, square-bodied warrior wielding a sword & shield would appear to be the most recent (Late Iron Age).  He clearly overlies the orant-like armed figure above, and at right angle, to him, which is much earlier - Late Bronze Age period III D. aound 1200-800 BC.

There are two separate deer hunting scenes to either side of this model, again oriented at right angles to each other.  The figures are different from those mentioned above, and I would place them as being of an intermediate date between those two - the Schematic period of the Early Iron Age, period IV 1 (900-600BC).

(Note that the above dating is my own interpretation, and whilst it might not be spot on, I am confident of the relative chronology of the three types of figures represented here.)
