3D Digital Reconstruction and Hand-Painted Model of the Dryanovo River Bridge: Preserving Engineering Heritage
We proudly presents the 3D digital reconstruction and hand-painted physical model of the Dryanovo River Bridge, an iconic piece of Bulgaria’s engineering heritage. Built by Bulgaria’s legendary master architect Koliu Ficheto, this bridge stands as a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of 19th-century craftsmanship. Through advanced 3D scanning, modeling, and immersive storytelling, alongside the creation of a 3D printed, hand-painted model, our project brings the bridge to life, allowing audiences to explore its historical and cultural significance in both digital and physical forms. Whether you are a cultural heritage enthusiast, an educator, or a museum curator, our interactive experience and physical model ensure that the bridge’s story continues to inspire future generations.
Reviving Ficheto’s Mastery
High-Fidelity 3D Scanning Modeling and Texturing:
The project began with high-resolution 3D scanning and photogrammetry to capture every architectural detail of the Dryanovo River Bridge. Using this data, we developed an exact 3D digital twin of the bridge, preserving its unique arches, stone textures, and Ficheto’s masterful construction techniques. This digital twin allows viewers to experience the intricate craftsmanship and understand the engineering marvels behind its construction.
3D Printed and Hand-Painted Physical Model:
To complement the digital reconstruction, we created a 3D printed, hand-painted physical model of the Dryanovo River Bridge. This model serves as a tangible representation of the bridge, meticulously crafted to highlight the intricate details of the original structure. The hand-painted model is ideal for museum displays, educational exhibits, and cultural events, providing visitors with a hands-on way to connect with Bulgaria’s engineering history.
Educational Animation for Deeper Understanding:
To make the historical and engineering aspects of the bridge accessible to a wide audience, we produced an educational animation. This animation not only explains the bridge’s architectural elements but also delves into its historical importance during Bulgaria’s 19th-century revival. It’s perfect for museum exhibitions and educational programs, offering viewers an engaging way to understand the history of the bridge.
Immersive Storytelling through Interactive Experiences:
By incorporating interactive storytelling, our digital reconstruction provides a fully immersive experience. Users can explore the bridge’s features up close, learn about Koliu Ficheto’s inspiration, and see how the bridge fit into the social and economic fabric of the time. This engaging narrative approach makes the reconstruction both educational and captivating.

Preserving Cultural and Engineering Heritage
The Dryanovo River Bridge is not just a piece of architecture; it symbolizes Bulgarian resilience, creativity, and the brilliance of Koliu Ficheto’s engineering prowess. Built during Bulgaria’s National Revival period, the bridge connected communities and served as an essential infrastructure element. By digitally preserving this cultural landmark and creating a physical model, Tornado Studios is ensuring that future generations can experience and learn from this architectural masterpiece in both digital and tangible forms.
Our 3D digital reconstruction and hand-painted model not only capture the physical structure of the bridge but also document its historical and cultural story. This is crucial for educational purposes, helping people connect with Bulgaria’s heritage in an interactive and meaningful way. As traditional structures face challenges from natural aging and environmental factors, digital and physical preservation become vital tools in safeguarding the past.
The Digital Reconstruction Process
- On-Site 3D Scanning: We began by using state-of-the-art 3D scanning technology to capture the full exterior of the Dryanovo River Bridge. The detailed scans allowed us to record every curve, stone, and feature.
- Data Processing and 3D Modeling: Our skilled team processed the raw data and created a high-fidelity 3D model, ensuring that every detail was accurately represented. The model retains all structural elements, down to the smallest stone, to honor the craftsmanship of Koliu Ficheto.
- 3D Printing and Hand-Painting: Using the digital model, we produced a 3D printed version of the bridge, which was then hand-painted to capture the authentic look and feel of the original structure. This physical model serves as a valuable educational tool, offering a hands-on way for visitors to connect with the bridge.
- Storytelling and Animation Development: We developed an educational animation that guides viewers through the historical, cultural, and engineering aspects of the bridge, ensuring an engaging and informative experience.
