Trailer for the Interactive Virtual Travel to Palace Square, Russia

Palace Square in St. Petersburg in 3D

World of Vizerra project repeats reality in great detail. We select for virtual travel the most interesting parts of the planet. Today, we added another exhibit to our collection of 3D squares. But before you would know exactly what square we offer to your attention, let us recall the squares which have been already recreated by us in the form of three-dimensional interactive models.

Bamberg Cathedral Is Recreated In 3D

The old German city of Bamberg has a sister city, and that's Prague. The two cities have much in common like gothic and baroque centers and squares with ancient cathedrals - and now they are tied in one more way. Vizerra team has already created the 3D model of the Old Town Square in Prague and now proudly presents a new location – the main square of Bamberg.

Founders of Kiev-Pechersk Lavra

The Kiev Pechersk Lavra was founded by Saint Anthony of Pechersk and further arranged by his student and faithful follower, Theodosius. This monastery became the model for all the monasteries of the Russian land. Today we’d like to tell you about the founders of the first monastery in Russia.

Founder of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra (and of Russian monasticism as well), St. Anthony, was born in Lubech town near Chernigov. His secular name was Antipas. He took his monastic vows at one of the Mount Athos monasteries, where he became famous for his feats: for instance, he ate only a rye bread (once in two days) and drank only water.

3DreamTeam And Donya Labs Announce Partnership In 3D Model Optimization

3DreamTeam has licensed Donya’s Simplygon for Vizerra to improve the content-creation pipeline. Due to the fact that Simplygon is a toolkit for building an automatic 3D-optimization pipeline that combines powerful and unique mesh-optimization techniques with high-res to low-res baking abilities, it will be used to optimize complicated 3D objects in Vizerra. The direct integration of Simplygon into Emergent Technologies’ Gamebryo LightSpeed™ will help 3DreamTeam achieve good performance while maintaining high visual quality.

“Recent trends show an increasing demand for 3D content. We are using the best technologies to perform high-quality 3D with the optimized polygons. Having licensed Simplygon for Vizerra we improve our optimization process which leads to a good performance with high visual quality. We are glad to see Donya Labs in our community network and look forward to further productive cooperation”, said Arman Gukasyan, the CEO of 3DreamTeam.

Poetic Venice

Venice is one of the most poetic cities in Europe. Many poets have dedicated their poems to the city, and the Russian poet Nikolai Gumilev praised the Piazza San Marco.

We publish here a free translation of this poem.
