Drawing on medieval and Georgian Winchester (1400–1800), this book equips readers with the tools, reasoning frameworks, and digital workflows needed to transform fragmentary evidence into credible HBIM models and immersive real‑time environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFrom maps, engravings, archaeological reports, estate records, and architectural typologies, readers learn how to assemble robust reference sets and make defensible design decisions through evidence hierarchies and inference modelling. Step‑by‑step case studies, including lost medieval streetscape and 1800 reconstruction of College Street and Jane Austen’s surroundings, demonstrate complete workflows in Revit and Bonsai BIM (Blender), from primary geometry to conjectural detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe book then moves from technical modelling to historical storytelling, guiding readers through materials creation, Unreal Engine pipelines, scene composition, lighting, level streaming, and narrative interpretation of heritage environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou Will\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop parametric Revit families and Bonsai BIM assets designed to accommodate uncertainty, probability ranges, and conjectural variations\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eReconstruct complete buildings for both 1400 and 1800 Winchester case studies, producing defensible HBIM models from partial records\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eExpand individual structures into full historic streetscapes, using period maps, topography, and urban‑morphology analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCreate historically accurate material and texture libraries, translating archival descriptions and visuals into PBR‑ready assets\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDesign immersive historical storytelling environments in Unreal Engine, incorporating lighting, atmospherics, level‑streaming transitions, and interpretive layers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho This Book Is For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is for a digital heritage practitioner, a visualization artist, an educator, or a built‑heritage researcher with basic understanding of Revit, Bonsai BIM and Unreal Engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr Deborah Wilson is a specialist in Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM), virtual heritage, and 3D architectural reconstruction. She works at the intersection of heritage practice and digital production, teaching Revit, Unreal Engine, and visual storytelling to both university learners and commercial teams. Her first Apress title, \u003cem\u003eRecreating Built Heritage for Cities\u003c\/em\u003e, introduced a practical, end‑to‑end workflow for HBIM reconstruction and is supported by a companion site offering tutorials and downloadable project assets.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWith a background spanning 3D reconstruction, digital heritage, and immersive media, Deborah develops robust, repeatable methods for recreating lost buildings and historic environments using archival, cartographic, and visual sources—especially those connected to the historic city of Winchester. Known for combining technical clarity with real‑life applicability, she makes complex reconstruction and visualization processes accessible to architects, heritage professionals, and creative studios working with historical content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 April 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApress\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApress\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9798868830754\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50806413099148,"sku":"9798868830754","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9798868830754","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
