3D reconstruction of the Altar's two main statues

With the new 3DSOM Pro release, image based modelling techniques can now provide creative professionals with a real alternative to time-taking hand-crafted modelling, or expensive digitisation of objects. Based on the technology of 3DSOM, the two main statues are virtually reconstructed in 3D World. (Special thanks to Peter Kelleher)
