Historic Video Series: Uintah Stake Tabernacle

Posted on by Brian Olson in Uncategorized

Around the mid to late 1930s a large annex was added off the back of the Uintah Stake Tabernacle. I found a photo from 1930 where there is no annex yet. The earliest photo of the tabernacle with the extension had, much to my surprise, grounds that looked very much like they did when the tabernacle was first dedicated. The grass was, perhaps, in better shape, but the only trees were young, but the roads are still dirt.

So I cheated, and stole the grounds and terrain from my previous Uintah Tabernacle Model. No change.

Historic Temple Video Series: Provo Utah Tabernacle [Provo City Center Temple] (1917-1950)

Not too long after the Provo Tabernacle was dedicated, the tall center tower caused the roof start to sag. This was due to there being no direct support for the tower, as the tower rested directly on the roof trusses, which in turn rested on the exterior walls.

The tower pedestal would stay atop the temple for another 30 or so years before being completely removed.

Long before it was a temple, The Provo City Center Temple was the Utah Stake or Provo Tabernacle. Following a devastating fire in December of 2010 the decision was made to save the shell and incorporate it into a new Temple.

This video represents the Tabernacle as it would have looked when it was first completed and dedicated. Enjoy!

Tabernacle of Moses Demo Reel

Posted on by Brian Olson in Research

Those of you who were able to attend the Tabernacle of Moses exhibit at BYU have already seen this. For those of you were unable to get tickets, here is the tabernacle renders and video I did for the exhibit. The video itself had some issues, most of that is linked to the small amount of time I had to render. Our time schedule was very compressed, and there was a limit as to what we could do quality wise.

Another Commission

Posted on by Brian Olson in Research, Work In Progress

I have another commission on my hands, and this time it is in 3 parts. I thought you might like to see it. This is for a presentation that will be put on at a local University later this month. It is still in it’s rough stage and may get some changes before it’s done, but here is part one: the Tabernacle of Moses and a small part of the Camp of Israel, in front of a very low quality reproduction of Mount Sinai.

The Client provided guidance and direction on the design, based on historical analysis provided directly to him from multiple researchers on the subject, so I can only hope it is accurate. The fun part was the fabric, and there is a lot of fabric on this tabernacle. In this model, it is all physics based simulation of cotton, denim, and leather, folding the way actual fabric would when draped over the tabernacle (Not actually staked out like a tent, but draped as shown.
