3D modelling and animation study of the industrial heritage wonders

Abstract

The paper describes the process of creating a virtual representation of some of the drawings made by the famous engineer and genius Agustin de Betancourt y Molina (Fig. 1). The latest technologies were used to recreate some of the engineering designs he painted with extreme detail to be part of a documentary directed by Desiree Hernandez Hormiga. No real physical simulation was intended, just an artistic interpretation of the environment, while maintaining a very approximate animation of such models. Everything will be covered from gathering the right material to the study of movement and the correct approach at animating the wonders.
