The Shroud of Turin reveals the 3D Face of Jesus Christ.

Artists, scholars and millions of Christians around the world have been pondering this question for centuries: what did Jesus Christ look like?

Easter is coming and the History Channel has come out with a television special which claims to have found the “true face” of Jesus based on studies of the Shroud of Turin.

To unveil the real face of Jesus, History Channel turned to computer graphics artist Ray Downing of Studio Macbeth, who used photographs and digital animation to reconstruct Abraham Lincoln in 2009.

The team of graphic artists lead by Downing used cutting-edge 3D software to bring a holy relic known as the Shroud of Turin to life. The centuries-old shroud contains a faint impression of the front and back of a human body, along with blood, dirt and water stains from its age. Cutting-edge modern skills were required to pull an accurate flesh and blood face from a piece of fabric so old to create a computer-generated image of Jesus.

With the help of modern technology, the team believed they finally unlock the secrets of one of the world’s most scrutinized and controversial artifacts: an accurate depiction of the man many believe to be the Son of God.

While some people said the image was “realistic” and what they imagined Christ looked like, others were not as certain if that shroud belongs to Jesus.

For the devoted and curious alike, this is a compelling story of transformation as well as a fascinating journey from the realm of creativity and imagination into the domain of science and technology.
