GARDEN OF FIFTY WATERS — COMPLETE ASSEMBLED 3D GARDEN

CONTENTS

- fountain-garden.glb: one complete scene with all 50 fountains in their garden positions, paths, trees and planting, the reflecting pond, benches, lamps, and garden structures. Landscape instances are expanded for portable import.
- garden-placements.json: all 50 unique fountain IDs and names, positions, rotations, footprint dimensions, approach positions, form notes, source URLs, region data, actual outline and path centerlines.
- garden-plan.svg: a numbered top-down placement plan. Footprint symbols are envelopes, not surveyed basin outlines.
- GARDEN-README.txt: this file.

MODEL

Format: glTF 2.0 binary (self-contained GLB; no external textures required).
Size: 16,068,244 bytes (15.32 MiB).
SHA-256: 5abfe046be09604665760becaa5d500bc114003a2343a70fe7a45663a8e126a2
Fountains: 50. Regions: 6. Mesh nodes: 1779. Triangles: 508,069.

IMPORT

Blender: File > Import > glTF 2.0 (.glb/.gltf), then choose fountain-garden.glb. Select the imported garden and frame the selection if it is outside the initial view. Y is up in the GLB; Blender's importer handles its own axis conversion.
Web engines: load fountain-garden.glb using the engine's glTF/GLB loader, frame its bounding box, and supply a camera and lights. Serve the file over HTTP when using a browser.
Generic viewers: open the GLB in a viewer that supports glTF 2.0. Transparent water may look different between renderers.

The GLB is one assembled garden scene. Static meshes are batched by material for performance; the 50 named fountain anchor nodes carry placement metadata, rather than each fountain being an independently editable mesh collection. Individual fountain study GLBs are separately available in the atlas.

COORDINATES AND LIMITS

Original source-inspired spatial study. Forms are simplified interpretations, not surveyed replicas. The shared garden is an imaginary landscape. Coordinates and dimensions are conceptual units, not construction measurements.

Right-handed coordinates, +Y up, XZ ground plane; rotations in radians around +Y. Treat dimensions as conceptual units. Rescale the whole scene together if your software requires metres or another working unit. Do not use these dimensions for construction or hydraulic design.

Water is frozen at one instant. The website's procedural water animation, jumping-jet timing, tours, navigation, and day/night controls are not embedded in this static GLB. This package has no hydraulic simulation.

CREDIT AND SOURCES

Geometry is an original procedural interpretation created for Fountain Atlas. The common garden is an imaginary arrangement; the historic and contemporary precedents retain their source credits below and in garden-placements.json. IDs 47–50 are original jumping-arc concepts informed by contemporary nozzle technology, rather than four historic sites. Source links describe the inspirations; they are not evidence of an exact measured reconstruction.
