Virtual Objects for Art History Teaching
These virtual objects are divided into two groups. The first ("Spaces") contains models of the interiors and exteriors of buildings, and of large urban spaces. The second ("Objects") contains models of individual objects. Credits for my virtual spaces projects are listed here. Please note that some of this are massively large files. They will take a while to load, and, even after they have loaded, it will take a while for the model to appear in the view window. You may have to wait a while. As far as I'm aware, THEY WILL NOT WORK ON A MOBILE DEVICE.
I have appended links to groups of Sketchfab 3D objects at the end.
Spaces
Virtual Egyptian Temple: an imaginary ancient Egyptian temple modelled roughly on the Temple of Edfu.
Tomb of Nakht: a reasonably accurate model of an actual New Kingdom tomb (the Tomb of Nakht).
Virtual Etruscan Temple: an imaginary Etruscan Temple based on the model reproduced in many textbooks.
Virtual Roman Temple: an imaginary Roman temple based on the "Temple of Hercules" at Cori, to which I've added a statue of Hercules now in the Palazzo Altempls (from model posted to myminifactory.com).
Virtual Roman House: an imaginary Roman atrium house, based loosely on the House of the Faun in Pompeii.
Virtual Roman City (Forum): the forum and temple of an imaginary Roman city based on the forum of Pompeii.
The Basilica of Pompeii: a simplified, low-poly model based on the reconstruction of Karlfriedrich Ohr. [See About the model]
Frescoed room in the Villa of the Mysteries, Pompeii.
Dura Europos Baptistery: a model of the baptistery, with images of surviving fresco fragments (courtesy of Yale University Art Gallery).
