Discus throwing the disc, Mathieu Kessels (1784-1836). Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (Brussels, Belgium). Made with CapturingReality. Being determined to go to Rome, he was accepted as an apprentice of the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, probably in 1818. In a competition for young artists, organized by Venetian sculptor Antonio Canova, Kessels in 1819 won the highest award with his terracotta Saint Sebastian pierced by arrows, a piece of frank and beautiful workmanship. In Rome he became a member, later professor of the Academy of St. Luke and of the Institute of the Netherlands. He also was a member of the academies in Amsterdam (from 1824 onwards) and Antwerp.

EN: Scientist passionate of computer graphic and science simulation and visualization. I started doing computer grqphic at 19, in 1993. Passing from POV-RAY to LightWave, Houdini, 3DStudio, 3DS Max, Blender. In 2014, I have started 3D scanning with first a Kinect from Microsoft and afterward moved to photogrammetry. Photogrammetry is more flexible and I use mainly 123D Catch and Memento beta, both from Autodesk. In 2015, I started 3D printing with a Solidoodle Press. FR: Scientifique travaillant dans une universite. Je suis passionne par les images de synthese depuis 1993 commencant avec POV-RAY, passant par LightWave et 3DSMax. Depuis 2009, je suis exclusivement sur Blender. En 2014, j' ai decouvert le scan 3D via la Kinect et tres vite j'ai change pour la photogrammetrie. La photogrammetrie permet de faire des scan 3D plus facilement avec un simple appareil photo. J' utilise principalement 123D Catch et Memento beta, les deux produit par Autodesk. En 2015, j'ai debute avec l'impression 3D avec une Solidoodle Press
