From the elevation points, calculated\u00a0during the topographic assessment, have been generated firstly the countour lines, then the terrain model. In the virtual reconstruction of the site the project considered all the altimetric elements relevant for an accurate reconstruction of the place topography (corners, bends, roads, buildings and so forth).<\/p>\n<p>The architectonic and sculptural elements,\u00a0both of the status and of the project, have been realised starting from the project perspective drawings, following the real dimension of the elements and the planning aspects (ratio 1:1). The elements have been covered with materials and fabrics that reproduce the real materials that have been used. Amongst those elements: sculptures (fountains and busts), staircases (e.g. the Samon\u00e0),<\/p>\n<p>Tra tali elementi, a titolo puramente esemplificativo, enumeriamo: sculture (fontane e busti), scalinate (tra cui il Samon\u00e0), kiosks\u00a0(<em>Chiosco della Musica<\/em>, <em>Chiosco delle Palme<\/em>), walkable stretch of water located in\u00a0<em>Piazzale delle Carrozze<\/em>, link between the northern hill and the <em>Uomini Illustri<\/em> avenue, floor, benches, railings, lampposts.<\/p>\n<p>The modelled arboreal elements were those of medium\/big foliage (apart from the hedges that have been fully realised), and have been modelled considering the botanic characteristic of each species (dimension, trunk, foliage). The arboreal elements created many difficulties due to the diversity of the species and their high complexity regarding the polygons number.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the virtual model of the whole Bellini Garden, the number of the polygons is slightly superior to 2,5 millions. This sum can be read as an index of the complexity of the project, which required the use of adequate graphical stations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9376 size-full\" title=\"Perspective view of the modelling and related rendering\" src=\"https:\/\/ies.solutions\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/progetto3d_2.jpg\" alt=\"Perspective view of the modelling and related rendering\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ies.solutions\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/progetto3d_2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ies.solutions\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/progetto3d_2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In order to contestualise the model, the team modelled the builings around the Garden and are located on <em>Via Sant\u2019Euplio, Viale Regina Margherita, Via Salvatore Tomaselli<\/em>\u00a0and<em>\u00a0Via Domenico Cimarosa<\/em>.

Also, they simulated the fountains and the water of the walkable stretch of water; 75 fountains were simulated, located on 5 columns, and they gradually will fill up the lake with\u00a0water.<\/p>\n<h2>The\u00a0Rendering<\/h2>\n<p>Once the modelling of the whole Garden was completed, the team worked on the rendering in order to produce a dozen of &#8220;bird&#8217;s eye view&#8221; animations and circa 100 of images of the Garden and some specific areas:<\/p>\n<p><em>Samon\u00e0<\/em> Entrance<br \/>\n<em>Biscari<\/em> Labyrinth<br \/>\nWater Garden<br \/>\n<em>Chiosco Ferreo<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Chiosco delle Palme<\/em><br \/>\nLinking bridge between northern hill and<em> Uomini Illustri<\/em> avenue<br \/>\nThe output files from the rendering activities have been produced in several formats, so to have images and animations of different quality available through hardcopy, off-line material or Internet.
