Development of a Virtual 3D Model of Denisova Cave

Post by Mikhail Anikushkin »

We have finished interesting project of laser scanning and 3d-modeling of the famous archaeological site in Russia - Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains (Siberia). http://trimetari.com/en/projects/74

Would like to have your comments, folks.

Great scan, great model, great textures and great animation :D

Looks like a video of the real thing in the animation.

Well done guys!

Thank you all,

We have used Focus3D. It took 2 days for field job (scanning and taking pictures) and infinite time for modeling :D

Description of the project http://trimetari.com/en/projects/74

In 2008, a new branch in human evolution was discovered based on finds in the Denisova Cave. Russian archaeologists found a finger bone, DNA analysis revealed that it was not homo sapience and not the Neanderthal man.
It represents a hitherto unknown type of hominin mtDNA that shares a common ancestor with anatomically modern human and Neanderthal mtDNAs about 1.0 million years ago. This indicates that it derives from a hominin migration out of Africa distinct from that of the ancestors of Neanderthals and of modern humans. The stratigraphy of the cave where the bone was found suggests that the Denisova hominin lived close in time and space with Neanderthals as well as with modern humans.
