A 3D visualization of a traditional Circassian wagon, crafted to honor cultural heritage.
The Circassian Wagon project is a digital reconstruction of a traditional vehicle once vital to Circassian life and trade. Modeled entirely in Blender and textured with PBR materials, the 3D model faithfully recreates the structural craftsmanship, proportions, and ornamentation found in original historical references. The goal was to use digital art as a tool for cultural preservation — making endangered artifacts accessible in the digital realm. This approach has multiple benefits: it safeguards heritage, provides reference material for educators, and offers cultural communities a new way to connect with their history. The use of realistic lighting and physically based rendering ensured the wagon could be displayed interactively online or in XR environments. It became both an artistic and educational project, merging culture and technology to ensure that traditions are remembered and appreciated.

To celebrate Circassian culture through 3D visualization and documentation.
This 3D visualization serves as a bridge between generations — translating the craftsmanship of the past into a digital format for the future. Beyond its technical achievements, it tells a story of resilience and identity. The Circassian Wagon proves that 3D modeling isn’t just about design; it’s about cultural storytelling. By blending accuracy, artistry, and immersive presentation, it demonstrates how digital preservation can become a living form of heritage.
