The archaeological ensemble of Melque is one of the most important historical sites of the High Middle Ages in Spain. It is located in the municipality of San Martín de Montalbán, just 30 kilometers from the city of Toledo. It consists of a very well preserved church, a monastery, several dams and a fence or wall. However, there is no consensus among experts about the date of its foundation. Some authors date it in the seventh century, in Visigothic times, while others consider that it was founded in the eighth century by Mozarabs, that is to say by Christians but under Muslim domination. The place was inhabited for centuries which has allowed the preservation of the church in an excellent state to this day.

Documented by Global Digital Heritage in September of 2018 using 1110 drone images, 112 terrestrial laser scans, and 1702 terrestrial photogrammetry images. These data were processed in Reality Capture.

I downloaded this 3d scan and re-did the topology:

Textures were never really finished, but I think it looks pretty good. Thanks @alban for the cool car scans! I'm eyeing another one to do next.


Fun facts about the Opel:

-It was one of the early inspirations for Corvette styling.

-Yes, the headlights opened like that. Opel owners joked about having one really buff arm from operating the mechanical lever for turning on the lights.

-It was produced for six years, then went on a 34-year hiatus. Another car was produced in 2007, based on a Saturn Sky. Not quite as cool.

The Sierra Leone-flagged EDRO III ran aground off Pegeia on 8 December 2011 in heavy seas, during a voyage to Rhodes, from Limassol, Cyprus with a cargo of plasterboard. At the time of the accident, the ship had nine crew members - seven Albanians and two Egyptians. The crew were rescued and airlifted to the safety of Paphos by a local British Military helicopter.

The EDRO III weighs about 2,345 tons and is over 80 meters in length. According to Cyprus Marine Environment Protection Association CMEPA, the ship is empty of all cargo and fuel oil and rests on the sea rocks at an 11-12 degree angle. Embarking on the ship is no longer permitted as it is dangerous. Together with Germany's CIMEXTA Vessel Salvage Company, the task of safe removal of all diesel, hydrocarbons and marine pollutants onboard the vessel, and watertighting the hull was awarded to a Cypriot marine salvage company. This was completed in October 2013.

The Dalarö wreck is one of the world’s best preserved 17th-century wrecks, lying at about 30 metres depth by Edesön off Dalarö. It was discovered in 2003 by the Marine Culture Society, and archaeologists from the Swedish Maritime Museum have investigated the site together with specialists from the University of Southampton and Södertörn University.  The wreck is about 20 meters long, with six gun ports and it looks  similar to a larger warship. On and around the wreck are many objects – pottery, glass bottles, tools, handweapons, parts of the rigging, and baskets and crates. On the bottom rests the figurehead, depicting a roaring lion on its hind legs. Two masts are still standing.

In 2017, the ship was probably identified as Bodekull, a small frigate.

In 2017 and 2018, Bodekull was documented for 3D-rendering within the EU Project Baltacar. https//www.facebook.com/ProjectBALTACAR/

I made this truck by combining parts of scanned modes and then baking both texture and geometry data onto a low poly mesh. Most of the process was done using Blender with minor texture changes done in Substance Painter.
I used the folllowing models:
[Toyota Pickup truck by alban CC-BY](https://skfb.ly/6TYYA) 
[Chevy Impala Undercarriage by omegadarling CC-BY](https://skfb.ly/6xpIS) 
[Moldering Minivan (Free Raw Scan) by Renafox CC-BY](https://skfb.ly/o6Tyz) 
It's pretty interesting workflow that allows to quickly make fairly photorealistic models of objects that wouldn't be easy to find and scan in real life.
Like this technical. Improvised military vehicle created by cutting off the roof of pickup truck and mounting in a machine gun in a cargo bed. Cars like this saw use in the Chadian–Libyan conflict that thanks to the wide use of converted Hiluxes and Land Cruisers was called "Toyota War''.

Salvatierra Castle is located in the municipality of Calzada de Calatrava (Ciudad Real, Spain). Its period of greatest historical prominence focuses between the battles of Alarcos (1195) and Las Navas de Tolosa (1212), playing a decisive role as a preamble of the latter. Between 1198 and 1211 the Order of Calatrava installed its convent headquarters in this fortress and was consolidated as the Order of Salvatierra. In 1226 it was definitely abandoned when its last Muslim defenders handed it over to Christians in the context of Las Navas pacts. Since 1992, it has been part of the Cultural Interest Assets (BIC) catalog of the Regional Government of Castilla-La Mancha. Despite its advanced state of ruin, it still retains part of the donjon, numerous barrel vaults and large walled spaces that acted as albacar and barbican.

Petroglyph J6, Khatm Al Melaha, Kalba, Sharjah.  Anthropomorphic figures in several styles, domestic goats, ibexes, and other motifs. All are common throughout the region. 

Khatm Al Melaha is a spectacular archaeological site on the coast of the Oman Sea near Kalba in Sharjah, UAE. It is one of the largest rock art sites in the UAE. There are also stone houses, a shell midden, stone tombs and other features that date this site has having occupations from at least the early Holocene to the 19th century.

Over 175 stones with petroglyphs were documented and close to 400 motifs were identified. Every rock with a glyph was given an ID number and a GPS coordinate. In total 25455 terrestrial photographs, 5244 drone photographs, 44 drone videos, and 182 GPS points (+/- 1cm) were done in a single day.

This model is a tribute to the failed prototypes from the early days of aviation.

In principle, its operation feels almost a bit fantastical. The main rotor spins clockwise during takeoff, and to land, it needs to spin counterclockwise. The nose rotor pushes the aircraft forward, much like the propeller on a traditional airplane.

Figura zoomorfa (BAY23-8008-2-1) proveniente de la excavación de *Bayra* (Vera, Almería) Representa un camélido. A nivel productivo, ha sido cocida en un ambiente oxidante. Esta ahuecada por lo que ha podido servir como parte de una albahaquera. Como parte más interesante vemos dos niveles de decoración distintos. El primero de ellos esta representado mediante líneas pintadas en negro como las que se ven en las orejas. Por otro lado, sobre esta decoracion pintada se colocó un esmalte decorado con líneas azules, claramente observables en la parte posterior.

A stoneware jug from the Edgefield Pottery Collection. This jug was made in the late 1800s.

The Edgefield Pottery Collection is a collection of historic vessels with a variety of shapes, sizes, forms, and uses. A jigger mold was used to quickly mass produce these Albany-Slipware style stackers and jugs. The vessels in the Edgefield Pottery Collection did not pass their quality inspection when they were made and were discarded into a ‘waster pile’.
