Fontaine Wallace

Description
Hello folks,

Feel free to leave a comment and don't forget to upvote, it helps to get more assets.

The Wallace Fountains, are one of the most beloved and iconic symbols of Paris. Have been dispensing clean drinking water to residents and visitors for 150 years. The original fountains were a gift to the people of Paris from Sir Richard Wallace. These public drinking fountains have great historic, artistic, cultural and social significance. They also represent the best of public/private partnerships for the common good. During the Franco-Prussian War, Paris went through difficult times, the city was quickly rebuilt, despite the ravages it had suffered. In less than ten years, it was transformed, with new buildings and new boulevards. Additionally, philanthropy was in fashion among the wealthy bourgeoisie, who financed numerous good works to uphold their image. The final design and sculpture is by Wallace's friend Charles-Auguste Lebourg, a sculptor from Nantes. Lebourg improved Wallace's sketches, to make the fountains true works of art. The fountain have four caryatids representing kindness, simplicity, charity and sobriety. Each one is different from her sisters, by the way she bends her knees and where her tunic is tucked into her blouse.

I optimized the sculpture and reworked part of it to lower the amount of tris to reach a reasonable size to make it easy for the game and used textures. The asset is PO friendly, you can up/downsize it for your own liking.

Credits goes to Nicolas Diolez for the Photogrammetry of the original.
