Clarke Steinback Ph.D. 3D Computer Modeling APCG 330 Spring 2007 Alex Prator

2007 Spring ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Final Gallery ->Alex Prator Alex Prator   Final Scene                     Memorial   Inspiration   The inspiration for my project is the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedachniskirche, or memorial church, in Berlin.  The Church was bombed by the RAF during World War II, leaving only the main spire standing.  After the war, it was decided to leave the church unrestored, as a war memorial for those killed by the bombings.
