宋代水运仪象台的3D复原与展示

3D Reconstruction and Display of the Astronomical Clock Tower in the Song Dynasty

北宋年间由苏颂领导设计的水运仪象台是11世纪世界科技史上的最高成就。近年来,国内外均积极展开了水运仪象台的复原工作。本研究通过历史文献的调研,对水运仪象台的浑仪、浑象等8个部分进行了详细的3D建模,真实地复原了水运仪象台的外观造型及内部机构的运行。通过对水运仪象台电脑3D模型的材质贴图、动画设定及效果渲染,完成了水运仪象台的3D复原与展示。今天的人们可以通过水运仪象台的3D复原效果,探寻宋代的水利机械设计与极简的设计美学。

In the northern song dynasty, the astronomical clock tower made and designed by su song's team was the highest achievement in the world history of scie nee and tech no logy during the 11th century. In recent years, the research on the recon struction of the astronomical clock tower is being carried out actively worldwide. This study successfully carried out 3D modeling for 8 parts of the astronomical clock tower through investigating its historical literature, the external design of the astronomical clock tower and succeeded in rebuilding the operation of the internal mechanism . The 3D reconstruction and display of the astronomical clock tower was completed through texture mapping, animation setting and creating 3D model effects on the computer. Today, people can explore the water machinery design and minimalism design of the song dynasty through the 3D reconstruction effect of a astronomical clock tower.
