I am not religous or so, but I wanted to see how the 'shroud of Turin'
looks with Povrays heightfields. No need of much skills and it probably
has been done before in Pov, but I think it looks rather interesting. At
least I think Mel Gibson would think so.

Did you know that with very high probability the shroud of Turin has been
created by Leonardo da Vinci?

No, I didn't know that. But I can see were that is comming from; the
shroud if it is a fake is absolutely done by a genius and Leonardo
worked in Turin.
But on the other hand the shroud was first recorded in history around
1350, C14 (carbondioxide)-tests of the shroud points also to that date.
Leonardo da Vinci was born a hundred years later.
One of the many theories, but the shroud stays still a mystery.

Interesting possibility, yes. I was watching a television show about that
tonight. Had seen part of it recently but saw more this time. They show a
camera obscura which he drew and the speculation is that with crude lenses
of the time it would have been possible to create a photo image on cloth
that had photo-reactive chemicals on it. DaVinci had read what an Arabic man
had done with such chemicals. Didn't see if they tried to prove those
chemicals might have been embedded in the cloth, I was interrupted by a
phone call.
This 3D image looks very good. This must be the film "negative" sort of
thing, with dark areas being toward white and light areas being toward
black.

It would have been impossible if Leonardo had died a hundred years earlier!

That's exactly what I have seen some time ago.

So, Leonardo making the shroud before he was born is impossible, but
Jesus coming back to life after having died in the shroud is perfectly
reasonable? ;-)

Yeah, it seems that every five years or so a new theory emerges about
this shroud. Just like with the pyramids of Giza or the existence of
Atlantis, etc. At least it makes some cool documentaries.

Hi!
Anytime the issue of shroud of Turin is raised, people always discuss the
matter that if it was an artifact, then the maker would have to be a genius.
I always have an unpleasant suspicion, that hundreds of years after
crucifiction, some people inpired by the Bible tried to re-enact the
Passion, and... ritually murdered a man, than preserved "the sacred shroud"
with the impression of his body. Dating with C14 leaves no doubts as to the
authenticity of the alleged shroud, however no pre-Renaissance painter would
be able to do it so accurately. Unfortunaly we do not know, and will never
do, the name of this poor soul.
Using HF to produce a rough 3D outline of the body wrapped in the shroud was
the first forensic CG application, known to me. Nice picture anyways.

Not quite true. All C14 can tell you is how long ago the live beings
that made up the shroud's material died. It can't tell you whether the
flax (or whatever) was harvested 500 years before it was woven into
cloth, let alone when the impression was made onto the cloth, let alone
who the impression is of.
C14 dating works because there's a certain proportion of radioactive
carbon in carbon dioxide (and other carbon compounds) that is maintained
by cosmic radiation, background radiation from stuff like uranium
decaying, and etc. As long as you keep breathing, you flush out the
radioactive carbon that has decayed and replace it with freshly-created
radioactive carbon. Once you die, this stops happening.
If the halflife of the carbon is (say) 30,000 years (I think it's
something around there) and you measure the ratio of radioactive carbon
in the sample vs non-radioactive carbon, and it's half what you find in
living beings today, then that substance was alive 30,000 years ago. But
that doesn't really tell you much, if there's an intentional scam going on.
If you look up the details behind the "Vikings Discovered America" hoax,
you find that it's quite likely a priest in the WW2 era took a page out
of the back of a book several hundred years old and draw a map of
America on it with nordic notations, and left it where it could be found
by the Nazis. That doesn't meant the map was several hundred years old.
