On a rainy november day, fisheye contacted me to help modeling the buildings for the new parade floats for Europapark.

2 floats where already in production, but the needed a skilled 3D modeler to envision famous German and French landmarks into a 2.5D form.

Converting a sight of a landmark into a stack of layers so it can be etched from a big plate of hardwood is no easy feat. Every detail needs to be considered, modeled and put into the correct layer.

The following landmarks where modeled and placed accros the floats:

• Dresdens Georgendtor
• Dresdens hofkirche
• Dresdens Schloss
• Frankfurts Dom
• Freiburgs rathaus
• Hamburgs Elbphilharmonie
• Hermannsdenkmal
• Holstentor
• Kölns dom
• Kölns Altstat
• Munchens Frauenkirche
• Munchens Heilig-Geist-Kirche
• Munchens Rathaus
• Munchens Theatinerkirche
• Berlins neuschwanstein

Some historical buildings where also 3D printed with a more traditional cartooney 3D look. These include:

• Versailles 
• Pond Alexandre
• Berlin's Fernsehturm
