# Image Formation on the Holy Shroud—A Digital 3D Approach

Cicero Moraes, 2025. _Archaeometry 68(1): 84-93_.

Simulates draping a virtual cloth over a 3D human body and over a low-relief sculpture and compares the contact patterns with the Shroud image. The body produces a widened, distorted image; the low relief reproduces the Shroud's proportions, consistent with an image taken from a bas-relief.

[Digital draping over a low relief reproduces the image proportions; draping over a body distorts them.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/shroud-of-turin/evidence/EVD0CWY2NNR6CHT/digital-draping-over-a-low-relief-reproduces-the-image)
