Made in-house
Almost everything you see here , the engravings, botanical plates, wordmark and interactive 3D objects , was created for the original educational project. Anything that is not ours is named here with its author and licence. Today that means the third-party 3D models credited below: the rose and the copper still in the films, and the models from open collections that you can place in your room. The list below is what the house made itself, those models, and the open tools the site was built on.
The home page opens on an in-house film: an engraved copper still, rendered in Blender (Cycles) at 1920×1080. The rose dive on the Materials page is rendered the same way. The interactive 3D objects , the copper alembic you can turn on the Science page, the flacons on the History page, and the models offered in augmented reality , were each modelled in-house in Blender with physically-based materials. The globe, the orrery and the other engraved plates are drawn in the browser from the house’s own data. Two models are not ours, and are credited below; no purchased models are used on the site.
The rose in the opening film and in the rose dive is “Red rose” by Lassi Kaukonen, on Sketchfab, licensed CC BY 4.0. The opening film and the rose dive both use it, recoloured (house crimson in the film, damask pink in the dive) and rendered for this educational archive; we use its bloom only.
The copper still in the opening film and on the Science page is “Vodka distillation set” (MT-E/3446) from the District Museum in Tarnów, published by the Virtual Museums of Małopolska under CC0 1.0. It is a historic copper still, not a perfume alembic; we use its pot and helm, tinted, with the fire and steam simulated in-house.
3D models on this site that are not ours, each simplified for the web here (the ones you can place in your room are listed there):

- “Red rose” by Lassi Kaukonen, on Sketchfab, CC BY 4.0 (the same rose as the films; simplified and rescaled for the room view).
- “Lemon” by Kuutti Siitonen, Poly Haven, CC0 (a stand-in for the bergamot).

Drawn and rendered for this educational archive , vector engravings and Blender renders , apart from the third-party models credited above. No stock photography, no stock illustration.
Bodoni Moda, Archivo and IBM Plex Mono, with a small Greek-letter subset of Noto Sans, all under the SIL Open Font Licence and self-hosted. The name in the top bar is drawn from Bodoni Moda outlines; on the home page it is set as live Bodoni Moda text.
three.js (MIT licence), release r186, self-hosted, draws the 3D viewer and the realtime engraved plates; Blender renders the films; the site runs on Cloudflare Workers. The sound, when you switch it on, is synthesised live in your browser; no recorded audio is used. These are tools, not content , apart from the two models credited above, every asset rendered through them is the house’s own.
Any future scanned model will be listed here only if it is CC0 or CC-BY and botanically correct for the material it illustrates. Nothing NonCommercial or NoDerivatives is used.
