you can see, the further away the model is from the locations where the pictures are focused on, the lower resolution it gets.

I recently had the great pleasure of collaborating with one of my closest friends and fellow artists David Popa, on his latest project Prometheus.

"Prometheus" is a project located on the island of Crete, Greece. The project spans from painting, photography, videography, writing and 3D sculpture. The end result is the documentation of a massive ephemeral earth fresco mural that will ultimately fade with the elements.

The piece I created for this project is called, "Fragments Of Prometheus."
I built this 3D sculpture by stitching 400+ images from drone footage of the rockface with David's exquisite mural. This process of building 3D models from data extracted from images is called Photogrammetry.
