I remember when I was a kid, people couldn’t stop talking about Superman being filmed "up City." Honestly, I just thought it was my Dad having a joke with me... but it actually happened!

🎬 Superman III and IV were both filmed right here in Milton Keynes!

​I’ve been wanting to get a 3D scan of the old Winter Gardens for a long time now, and I finally managed to get the time to capture it. I think it turned out quite well!

​For anyone who doesn't know the
local history:

​Superman Connection: The sleek, futuristic late 20th century architecture of Central Milton Keynes was chosen by Hollywood location scouts as a filming location and stand-in for Metropolis in Superman III (1983) and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987).

​Built in the 1980s: Constructed between 1983 and 1986 by the Milton Keynes Development Corporation as part of the Central Business Exchange (CBX).

​40+ Years Old: This amazing indoor tropical sanctuary under the sloped glass roof has been part of our city's landscape for roughly 40 years now!

​Today: It’s currently home to the Bannatyne Health Club & Spa, keeping that lush green indoor jungle alive right in the heart of MK.

​Hope you like the scan! Have a walk around yourself in VR.
Let me know what you think!

Wait... is that a Masonic Square & Compasses in Campbell Park?!
📐 🧭 👀

​I know everyone loves a good Milton Keynes secret society theory, but I honestly never noticed this until I flipped to the top down orthographic view while processing the 3D scan today...

​From above, the paths and circular paving form an exact Masonic Square and Compasses!

​Milton Keynes has always been a magnet for conspiracy theories and urban myths. A few classic ones:

​Midsummer Boulevard Solstice
Alignment: The iconic boulevard was designed to align perfectly with the sunrise on Midsummer’s Day (much like Stonehenge), leading to endless speculation about druidic or Masonic gridplanning.

​The Secret Underground Tunnel Network: Urban legend insists there is a massive network of hidden tunnels connecting the shopping centers, central points (Recently explored by Herbex Explorer )

​Ley Lines & Sacred Geometry: Urban legends claim the 1967 master plan was designed around ancient ley lines connecting local historic churches and burial mounds.

​The Grid System Code: Rumors that the H and V grid layout hides sacred geometry, celestial maps, or secret occult symbols embedded into the landscape architecture.

​Pure coincidence, smart landscape geometry, or a secret nod from the town planners? What do you think? 😄👇

Bradwell Windmill, this second scan turned out much better than the first time i scanned it 6 months ago.

A Little Bit of History:
Built around 1805 using locally quarried limestone, Bradwell Windmill is believed to be the oldest surviving tower mill in Buckinghamshire. Positioned to catch the breezes along the valley and make use of the nearby Grand Union Canal to ship flour, it ground wheat and barley for over 70 years until commercial milling ended in the late 19th century. Today, the Grade II listed landmark is preserved as a rare piece of local heritage.

Onwards and Upwards (Totem) Campbell Park 🍁

​A 3D Gaussian Splat capture of Robert Koenig’s sweet chestnut totem sculpture (Onwards and Upwards), standing tall at the crossroads in Campbell Park, Milton Keynes. Framed by rich autumn foliage and golden ground paths! 🍂

It also reminds me of one of my favourite video game logos

Capturing reflections and 80s Roller Skating nostalgia with 3D Gaussian Splatting. 🛼

On the way back from a quick shopping trip, I did a fast spatial capture of Wendy Taylor’s iconic Octo (1980) in Central Milton Keynes.

For locals, this stainless steel infinity loop over its reflecting pool outside Norfolk House is pure nostalgia, famously featured in Sir Cliff Richard’s 1981 Wired for Sound music video! ( https://youtu.be/K0lV9h7b9B0?is=EHYxtK9oaCKX3L8D )

From a technical perspective, capturing reflective surfaces and open water with Gaussian Splatting is always an interesting challenge, but the depth and specular detail in the final dataset came together nicely.

Rendered and processed directly for the web on SuperSplat.
