Though it was widely reported that Ubisoft’s work on the game could aid in the reconstruction of the cathedral, Ubisoft has not had any conversations along those lines. Since I had never been formally taught, I had to figure things out on my own to recreate Notre Dame’s structure in the most realistic way possible.” “Personally, I wanted to challenge myself to understand church architecture. “My colleague Pascal Barriault (the texture artist) and I were constantly asking ourselves, what details of the building stuck in people’s minds? What kind of images linger when we think about this architectural masterpiece?” says Miousse. Its developers describe the virtual Notre Dame as a landmark technical and architectural achievement. Players can explore every brick of the enormous building, watching clergymen go about their business, climb up to perch among the gargoyles, and scale its spires for an extraordinary view of the city. It is furnished and decorated as it would have been in 1790, down to the paintings hanging on the walls. Caroline Miousse, a level artist on the game, spent 14 months working almost exclusively on the cathedral, inside and out. The iconic building features prominently in the game, a centrepiece of its virtual Paris recreated painstakingly from old maps, photographs and drawings throughout its history to 90% of its real scale.
The game’s digital designers were precise in their detail.
