Recent research suggests that the Shroud of Turin may not have covered a human body but rather a statue. Brazilian 3D designer Cicero Moraes utilized MakeHuman, Blender, and CloudCompare to analyze the shroud's imprint. His findings indicate that the contours of the imprint are not characteristic of a human, but resemble those of a low-relief statue. This study contributes to ongoing debates regarding the shroud's authenticity, especially following the contentious results of prior radiocarbon dating tests, which dated the cloth to the 14th century CE.
Using three types of 3D modeling tools - MakeHuman, Blender, and CloudCompare - Cicero Moraes found that the contours of any "body" that would have imprinted upon the shroud is very unlikely to have been human.
Moraes believes the shroud most likely belonged to a statue, as his modeling showed that a statue covered with cloth produced an outline much closer to the shroud we know today.
