The icon of architecture in Byzantine art, the perception and depiction of both real and transcendental architectural space, revealed in the international exhibition entitled “Architecture as an Icon”.
Our task was to construct a virtual object for the exhibition that could not be physically present. A media installation was constructed with a levitating moving image, it created the illusion of the object in the visitors minds.
The 3d model was hand made using photos of the real object as reference. The workflow we followed was: Polygon modeling, UV Mapping & Unwrapping, Texturing, Shading, Lighting, Rendering. Multiple texture maps where created: Diffuse texture, bump map, displacement map and a specular map.
