Procedural Modelling
This project stemmed from Andre Thomas’ idea of applying a procedural methodology to the modelling of a generic shipwreck using off the shelf Houdini (SideFX) software, and introducing the parameters of the Belinho 1 shipwreck to obtain an ongoing reconstruction.
The project was carried out by Mat Suarez and was the object of a MS thesis in the Department of Visualization at Texas A&M, under the orientation of Dr. Frederic Parke.
Although the planking design was not part of this project, this preliminary attempt to model a ship hull revealed itself a very dynamic process for thinking a reconstruction and refining the recording process of a shipwreck.
