VRML Models
Alhambra, Spain

.
In September 1999
I participated in a workshop at Chalmers Medialab in Sweden where Susanne van Raalte presented a virtual reality model illustrating the urban changes in a small Swedish town during the last 60 years. The texture mapping was done with watercolour images and the effect was refreshingly different to standard VR representations.

When I saw the kit-set paper model
of the Alhambra by Manuel Cruz Sánchez
I decided to combine its beautiful watercolours
with VRML technology.

The VRML model can be explored in two different ways. The alhmabraNo1 model lets you explore the model in 'Examine' mode, whereas alhambraNo2 takes you on a tour around and into the paper model.
