Assassin’s Creed Unity could help rebuild Notre Dame
The Assassin’s Creed series could be used to help restore Notre Dame. Restoration efforts for the Paris Cathedral - which had its spire, roof, and some internal woodwork destroyed by a fire last night - are likely to rely heavily on 3D mapping, which means that Ubisoft’s historical adventures could come in useful.
A report by The Verge from 2014 says that Caroline Miousse, a senior level designer on Assassin’s Creed Unity (set in Paris during the French Revolution) spent two years building the game’s version of the iconic cathedral. Miousse reportedly worked with texture artists to ensure that no brick was out of place, and with historians to help place relevant artwork.
Unity’s version of Notre Dame is not entirely historically accurate, as the cathedral’s spires were added to its real-life counterpart after the events of the game. Much of the artwork hanging from the walls of the church is protected by copyright, meaning that it could not be directly reproduced in the virtual version of the church.
