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.
