The last few weeks a much-publicized row has broken between the Church of England and Sony Europe over a photorealistic 3D model of the Manchester Cathedral used in the video game Resistance: Fall Of Man an FPS (first person shooter) which was recently released. While the argument itself (violence in a virtual religious environment) is beside the point, it is extremely interesting to see just how far architectural 3D modelling has come in this day and age. If the virtual 3D model of a cathedral can appear so realistic that high-profile reactions like this are generated it is obvious how not only efficient but also poignant work in architectural 3D modelling is and will be in the future to come... Below you can find a link to a BBC news story on this and also some YouTube links that showcase the 3D Manchester Cathedral model.
