The Notre Dame virtual exhibit showcases the 3D modelling process and mapping of Notre Dame before and following the devastating fire that took place in 2019. Our process included an in–depth gathering of reference documents to formulate a new and compelling way of telling the story, as well as the creation of a unique wireframe that’s specific to the content and how it will develop as the story grows over time. Finally, the UI was built in Ceros, and with a wide range of static and motion visual assets, this page stands out from the crowd and depicts the impressive structure of Notre Dame through photography, photogrammetry and 3D models. Interactive elements were also incorporated into the page, such as hotspots calling out features of the structure and model, as well as a looping GIF. 

As Notre Dame is such an historic building, there were a lot of stakeholders outside Autodesk that were involved in the creation of this virtual exhibit, including AGP (specialist laser surveying and BIM technology company) and the Ministry of Culture in Paris. It also meant a French version of the site was beneficial, so a language switcher was included so the user can choose how they want to consume the content: in French or in English.
