Very cool. Back in the late 90’s when VRML was a thing there was a website demo that did a rendering. It still survives as http://www.dellerae.com/tenoch/
Unfortunately the VR files now longer work without the VRML plugins, which are no longer available or supported (AFAIK).
It could be made to work again with the X_ITE 3D Javascript viewer though, which I tried recently to view some old VRML files.
For those who don't follow the Fall of Civilizations podcast, this is worth a listen/watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8JVdpWCKeM
Hey all, author here! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. The question I always get from tech people - yes, all open source software. 90% Blender, 9% Gimp, 1% Darktable or so.

My question: what kind of evidence/sources were helpful in figuring out what Tenochtitlan looked like?

All of this history was taught to me through primary school, and yet, this project made me put together some things I haven't realized before. Visualization goes a long way.
The New Fire ceremony looks amazing, everything else is also beautiful. Thanks again for such a fine piece of work!

Incredible work! Since you've made this in 3D, I wonder if that could potentially enable a more immersive way to get more out of the work you've put in than just static images? Would it be possible to do a sort of flyover video with the assets you've created? Or potentially even plop the assets into a game engine and let people interactively explore?
The area is huge, to a point where you have to worry about floating-point imprecision. The sheer amount of stuff in the scene is pretty crazy. Perhaps I can bake it down to something like what you might see in Google Earth in 3D.

How long have you been working on this?
Edit: Oh, I see, `This project is the result of over 1.5 years of research and iteration. It would not have been possible without the input of the following people:`

If you'd ever like to see it in VR, we run an open source desktop/VR social platform at https://overte.org/
It shouldn't be too hard to set up a server and take a walk among the past. By the looks of it it's probably way too big for the entire thing to be loaded at once, so things likely need trimming down quite a bit.
We're a decentralized system, so you can run your own server if you like.
