On the site, the clay floor is cleaned (Figure 1.a – real pictures), then it is turned over (Figure 1. b – real pictures) and the hidden wooden sub-structure of the floor is revealed and recorded on site through drawings. The drawings and photographs are imported to 3ds max 7 to use as a reference point for the virtual reconstruction (Figure 1.c the drawing of the mirror image of the wooden floor construction as imported into virtual space). In the virtual space (the 3ds max 7 3D authoring environment) the wooden structure is reconstructed as a virtual model (Figure 1. d). We have now created a virtual reconstruction of the mirror image of the wooden floor structure. Next we turn the wooden floor back to original orientation (Figure 1.e). The wooden beam structure now provides the support of the floor over which, there is added a mixture of clay, straw and water (Figure 1.f).

Step 1 - Virtual reconstruction of a floor after a drawing

Step 2 - After the floor is reconstructed (after a negativ drawing) we remodelate the the real image of the floor.
