A 3D visualization design and realization of Otrokovice in the nineteen-thirties

This paper briefly describes a visualization method of the Otrokovice Municipality in the Nineteen-thirties. The rapid growth of this town began at the beginning of the 20th century, and in 1938, Otrokovice had around 8000 inhabitants. Many building plans, cadastral maps and historical photographs are preserved from this period. This is the reason why a rendering set in these years was created. All of the collected information was chronologically sorted, and on this basis, a 3D visualization of the Otrokovice town center was created. To begin with, a terrain model of Otrokovice was created, based on the altitude values published on the Internet. All buildings and accessories were separately modeled (the standard polygonal representation was used) and textured by the UV mapping technique. Then, a more complex 3D scene from the individual models and accessories was created. The visualization output is performed by rendered images and animations in these years. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016
