Making “ The Parthenon ”
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we overview the technology and production processes used to create “The Parthenon”, a short computer animation that visually reunites the Parthenon and its sculptural decorations, separated since the beginning of the 19th century. The film used combinations of time-of-flight laser scanning, structured light scanning, photometric stereo, inverse global illumination, photogrammetric modeling, imagebased rendering, BRDF measurement, and monte-carlo global illumination in order to create the twenty-some shots used in the film.

متن کاملA realtime immersive application with realistic lighting: The Parthenon
Off-line rendering techniques have nowadays reached an astonishing level of realism but pay the cost of long computational times. The new generation of programmable graphic hardware, on the other hand, gives the possibility to implement in realtime some of the visual effects previously available only for cinematographic production. We describe the design of an interactive system which is able t...
متن کاملDifferential Responses of Two Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var Italica) Cultivars to Salinity and Nutritional Quality Improvement
The comparative responses of two broccoli cultivars (Brassica oleracea var. Italica, cv. Parthenon and cv. Naxos) to a 15 d exposure to different NaCl levels were investigated. Salinity led to increased concentrations of Na(+) and Cl(-) ions in both cultivars, a disruption of the endogenous minerals levels in the shoots and roots-that varied with the cultivar and salt concentration-and decrease...
متن کاملParthenon East Metope XI: Herakles and the Gigantomachy
Parthenon East Metope XI, one of two metopes with three figures in the composition, has been one of the most problematic in the east series. C. Praschniker, in his study of the east metopes in 1928, was the first to propose Herakles as the central figure. Subsequent scholars have challenged this identification, suggesting instead Apollo, Ares, or Hephaistos. A comparison with representations of...
