Art Behind the Ark Encounter

A lot of art went into the Ark Encounter!  Located in Williamstown, Kentucky near the Creation Museum.

Meet Doug, the lead artisan in charge of animals.


Meet Greg, who was part of creating an incredible diorama.


Learn about photogrammetry!  The ark designers rented a 72-camera scanning rig to take 3D scans of live humans.  Software stitched the photos together, artists refined the 3D models, printed them on a 3D printer, and painted the sculptures by hand.  This cut the sculpting process down from 2-3 weeks per figure to 1-2 days.


Meet Answers in Genesis production designer, Jon.


Meet production designer, Allen.  He used his creativity to help imagine what items Noah could have saved from the pre-flood world.
