3D scans of Sofia: Lesser-known sculptures and monuments

Photogrammetry project with four sculptures that I found in Sofia, Bulgaria. Scanned with Polycam, edited with Blender and Substance Painter.

Created my own Roughness and Metallic materials by repurposing the Base Color. Some of the sculptures used to be covered in vandalism “art”, but I cleaned them up to look more presentable.

Radoy Ralin: A sculpture, commemorating the Bulgarian poet Radoy Ralin (Радой Ралин / Димитър Стефанов), created by Georgi Chapkanov (Георги Чапкънов)

“The Prodigal Son” by Lyubomir Dalchev

Vladimir Dimitrov: A sculpture, commemorating the Bulgarian artist Vladimir Dimitrov (Владимир Димитров), created by Velichko Minekov (Величко Минеков)

I couldn’t find the name of the original sculptor or the piece itself for the "Fish Boy" statue
