This 3D model was originally crafted using Sketchup 13 before being translated into every other available 3D format. Native format is .skp, while 3dsmax scene files were rendered with 3ds Max 2016 and Vray 3.00, in honor of the stunning Church of Our Lady of Candelaria. The church's history begins with a story - said to be semi-legendary - about its origins dating back to the early seventeenth century. Apparently, a fierce storm nearly wrecked a vessel named Candelaria, on board which were two Spanish travelers, Antonio Martins Palma and Leonor Goncalves. To survive the tempest, the couple vowed to build a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Candelaria. Eventually, the ship reached Rio de Janeiro safely, forcing the pair to construct a small chapel in 1609 at the present site of the breathtaking Candelaria church.
