Hello folks,

Another wonderful fountain that i bring to you to beautify your cities, have fun.

Hermesvilla is a palace in the Lainzer Tiergarten in Vienna, a former hunting area for the Habsburg nobility. Emperor Franz Joseph I gave it to his wife Empress Elisabeth (nicknamed "Sisi"), and he called it the "castle of dreams.“ The name of the villa refers to a statue of Hermes made of white marble that is located in the garden of the villa. Today, the Hermesvilla is noted for its art and natural setting, and is used by the Vienna Museum for special exhibitions on cultural history. The fountain is in the back yard of the palace dominating the gaden and rapresenting a putto fighting a crocodile. Putti are a classical motif found primarily on child sarcophagi, where they are depicted fighting, dancing, participating in bacchic rites, playing sports… . The fountain dating from 1886, was designed by the sculptor Viktor Tilgner in italian renaissance style.

I optimized the fountain to lower the amount of tris to reach a reasonable size to make it easy for the game and used textures. The fountain is PO friendly, you can up/down size it for your own liking, but you will loose the water submesh that you can replace by the water surfaces.

Credits goes to noe-3d.at for the Photogrammetry of the original monument.
