I thought I watched a show on there a few years ago where they already did this
What did Jesus look like? Artists, scholars and millions of Christians around the world have been pondering the question for centuries. And on Tuesday, March 30, at 9/8c, HISTORY viewers may get closer to an answer than ever before, thanks to a special two-hour event.
The Real Face of Jesus follows a team of graphic experts as they use cutting-edge 3D software to bring a holy relic known as the Shroud of Turin to life. Many believe Jesus Christ was buried in this ancient linen cloth, which bears traces of blood and the faint, ghostly image of a man. With the help of modern technology, can HISTORY finally unlock the secrets of one of the world’s most scrutinized and controversial artifacts?
To attempt this feat, HISTORY turned to computer graphics artist Ray Downing of Studio Macbeth, who used photographs and digital animation to reconstruct Abraham Lincoln in 2009. As Ray and his team grapple with the task, we delve into the Shroud of Turin’s long history, along with the many perplexing questions that centuries of scientific research have failed to settle. How, for instance, did the figure’s imprint appear on the cloth? And how can we extract 3D information from a two-dimensional piece of linen?
In The Real Face of Jesus, HISTORY unveils the fruit of many months of labor, made possible by sophisticated computer tools in very capable hands: an accurate depiction of the man many believe to be Jesus Christ. For the devout and curious alike, this is a compelling story of transformation—a fascinating journey from the realm of creativity and imagination into the domain of science and technology.
Just in time for Easter and the Shroud of Turin’s first public viewing in 10 years at Turin’s Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, watch The Real Face of Jesus on March 30 at 9/8c.

They did, but this one is in 3-D.![]()
Is it in IMAX too?
It can be if you have your own LCD Projector at home.![]()
Yeah. It's been a couple of days............
.... and at the end of the show, after they have had your attention for however long, they will reveal ............ That the shroud of Turin is far too young (ca. 14th century) to have any kind of relation to Jesus and that many believe it to be Jacques De Molay the final Grand Master of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (aka Knights Templar).
Jesus looks like a god dayum terrorist!
The face of Jesus that most of us know is Cesare Borgia. Cheers, Pope Alexander VI!
As for the Shroud of Turin, I thought it was pretty unequivocally proven not to be original, though possibly based on an earlier burial shroud from the right era?
This is much closer to reality.
blah blah blah more made up blah blah blah the masses are idiots blah blah blah
So only the chosen few with special glasses can see him?
Here's what it looked like.
Case closed.
Pete and Repeat went into a store. Pete came out. Who's left?
So you aren't going to watch?
I'll probably watch. That was just a comment towards how these threads usually end up. Same crap always said. Kinda like global warming and <cough>palin bashing threads.
I'm glad you're laughing about it
So no one watched it?

shroud of turin is bogus
