In my collection of archaeological stamps, I came across the "Venus of Moravia" stamp issued in 2006 by Slovakia, and enjoyed the image. The mammoth ivory Venus statue stands out against the gold background and the repeating patterns on both sides.
I placed a 3D model of a deer in a 3D model of a sinkhole and created an imaginary image of a deer hunting where the deer has fallen and is unable to move. The deer's feet are hanging in the air, so it cannot escape.
Terrain near the salt domes in Iran (interference color version)
I learned about the state of modern Iranian society by reading the article "Life and Religion of the Iranian People" in the April issue of Geography magazine. The article is memorable for the smiling faces of Iranians before the war.
Unrelated to the article, I had fun creating a terrain near the salt domes in Iran (interference color version) using an interference color conversion tool (Map Art Institute).
I learned about Iranian society by reading the article "The Mystery of Iranian Smiles and Greetings" in the April issue of the magazine Geography. With the outbreak of the Israel-Iran War, this article will gain new significance as a pre-war record. I created a 3D model of the topography near the salt domes using the DEM-Net Elevation API, and enjoyed observing the topography that cannot be observed in Japan.
3本の輪郭線(べジェ曲線)に1本の補助曲線を加えてBlender3Dビューポートに配置し、アドオンCurves To Meshで土坑壁面3Dモデルを作成し、その3Dモデルに底面の面貼りと台地面造形(辺ループのブリッジ)を行いました。最上位開口部輪郭線は断面標高差を表現するために、約2度の傾斜を設けています。
The mountainous area southwest of Arak City, which is the route of the Trans-Iranian Railway
I learned about transportation in Iran by reading the article "Transportation in Iran" in the April issue of Geography magazine. I was interested in the Trans-Iranian Railway, which is a World Heritage Site, and created a 3D model of the terrain in the mountainous area southwest of Arak City using the DEM-Net Elevation API, and enjoyed looking at the relationship between the trans-Iranian railway track and the terrain.
Work log for inputting coordinates of artifacts on the distribution map of the shell layer on the north slope of the Ariyoshi Kita shell mound (2025.06.15)
We are currently working on obtaining planar coordinates of artifacts from the distribution map of artifacts on the shell layer on the north slope of the Ariyoshi Kita shell mound, and obtaining 3D coordinates by combining them with the elevation values already obtained. We have reached the first milestone, so we have recorded the work log. The 3D distribution of 2991 artifacts near the head of the gully erosion terrain valley has been newly revealed.
A 3D model of an abatis installed in a sinkhole was created. The abatis is thought to be a device that digs into the body of a fallen animal, making it difficult for the animal to move around in a narrow space and escape from the hole.
5本の輪郭線(べジェ曲線)をBlender3Dビューポートに配置し、アドオンCurves To Meshで土坑壁面3Dモデルを作成し、その3Dモデルに底面の面貼りと台地面造形(辺ループのブリッジ)を行いました。5本の輪郭線のうち、最上位開口部輪郭線は断面標高差を表現するために、2度の傾斜を設けました。
I learned about Iran's karez (qanat) by reading the article "Home of Karez" in the April issue of Geography magazine. When I was looking at opentopomap, I was surprised to see that the distribution of karez was displayed on a map, so I immediately created a 3D model with the DEM-Net Elevation API and enjoyed it.
I learned about agriculture in Iran by reading the April issue of Geography magazine's article "Agriculture and Soil in Iran." While looking at Google Earth Pro, an agricultural dam caught my eye, and when I looked it up, I found out that it was the Band-e-Amir bridge, an agricultural irrigation dam built in the 10th century that is still in operation today.
A project to learn how to create 3D models of Jomon ruins
I am starting a project to learn the skills to create accurate and good-looking 3D models of Jomon ruins. This is a technical field where the Blender function "edge loop bridge" can be useful. To start with, I tried to create a basic 3D model of the Ariyoshi Kita shell mound pit.
