Realistic 3D reconstruction of the Aztec Empire

The result of over 1.5 years of research and iteration. Faithfully reconstructed using historical and archeological sources and experts. It makes me wonder how much better museums would be if they utilized 3D more often. Because for the first time ever, the Aztec empire looks like a tangible place that actually existed. Hats off to the artist Thomas Kole.


Here's more from this week in 3D:

Free Christmas Models

To close out the new year Poliigon is giving away this pack of 5 new assets for free until 1st January. Claim a Christmas fir tree, mantlepiece, armchair, pinecone set and firewood while you still can.


3D sculpts that look like photos

Jama Jurabaev is back with another mind-bending series of daily sculpts that look too real to be CG. I'd love to know the shading setup.


When the VFX carries the movie: Godzilla Minus One

I found myself wanting to fast forward the plot just to get to those juicy action scenes. Despite a shoestring budget of less than $15M, the VFX looks on par with Hollywood blockbusters costing 10x that. The secret? The director was also the VFX Supervisor (who even sculpted part of Godzilla himself). Check out his short interview with Corridor.

That’s it for 2023 folks! Follow me on twitter for other discoveries.
