The image lifted from dissertations shows that the area in question is about 2ft, with the headboard roughly in line with the inset of the partition door.
So your bed can stay where it is, but the partition needs sliding over to the left.

Agreed Major. I was actually faffing with that partition and checked this thread to see your post. I can see where I went wrong. Changing it now and should be online later tonight.

Also online tonight will be a tweak to the camera. You will now be able to go low to ankle height and as high as the ceiling to look down. Also you can zoom right in and out to get a better look and perspective on things. Only trouble is you will see some of the little 'errors' with some of the models that I'll now have to fix

Basically you will be able to reach any nook and cranny in the room. E.g I've just got my camera in the same position as the camera in MJK3.

Hi again Richard, I used the zip stand alone, thanks

Can see if now Richard thanks. Very very impressive, as someone has already pointed out it really brings home how small the room was. Excellent work, much appreciated.

Oh Goodo, Thanks
Did it work in your browser or did you use one of the zip stand-alones?

[Observer]

Are you using a Mac? I was under the impression that Mac was supported by Unity. What browser and version? Gimme the details and I'll investigate.

I think I can create a stand alone version which can be downloaded and opened on your PC.

I'll have a look.

Excellent stuff. The enhanced lighting makes everything so much clearer.

Position of bed

Hello again,

Weren't there blood splashes on the partition and a pool of blood on the floor underneath? Also seem to remember the doctor saying that the body had ben moved from one side of the bed to the other for better access. This suggests that the bed was originally pushed up against the partition.

Best wishes,
C4

Absolutely superb job, Richard, in every way. This is the first time I've been able to truly visualize how small the room really was - and to experience actually being there - That's the best part! And I think you should get an A+ for accuracy; only a perfectionist could have taken the pains to accomplish what you have. There are two things which puzzle me, however: First, I seem to recall seeing some kind of wallpaper covering the unused doorway in the partition, and secondly I always thought the head of the bed was a little closer to the outer wall. I'm just going by memory of the police photos, and photos can be deceiving anyway. By the way, for what it's worth, I don't think it makes any difference whether the foot of the bed was pulled away from the wall by Mary Jane (say to facilitate a second person getting out without climbing over another or to get closer to the fire), or whether police pulled it out to facilitate taking the photograph. Could have been either way - makes no difference. Thanks for your efforts, Richard.

Appreciative John

Quick update. Regarding the low light levels. I want to maintain the same level of light that provides an approximation of the light given out from a low fire and a single candle. But I agree the room is a bit dark to see what's what. So as a compromise I have given you a bulls-eye lantern to provide an additional bit of illumination. As you walk around the room now your lantern will brighten the way ahead.

Thank you! I can see details now.

[richardh]

Very impressive!

The bed does seem a tad narrow, yes.
Will it be possible to go outside?

The only thing that doesn't seem right (apart from the bed size), is the wall behind the headboard. The photo seems to suggest that the wall goes further along to the right after the inset door.

I'll knock up a redesign of the bed and floor plan and post it here for you to look at. I agree about the wall but would that suggest the bed was much further away from the passage wall - we're talking maybe 3/4 feet away from the passage wall now.

This is a horrible thought, but Richard's re-creation suggests to me how the body was positioned so as to be 'best' (from the killer's mind-set) viewed from the position of a man standing with his back to the fire.

Images

Hello Richard,

Breathtaking images, thank you! As I see it from the illustrations the banking up of the fire must have been to illuminate the room. Conan Doyle mentions a fire being used as a source of light in at least one of his stories.
Also as I understand it the window had been broken fairly recently. If the key had been lost for any length of time, there would have been no broken pane to reach through. If it was a stretch for Barnett, it would have been almost impossible for someone smaller. I stick to my belief that the window was left unlocked, so that it could be pushed up and the door opened through the window in this way. Mary had few possessions to lose, after all.

Best wishes, and keep up the good work!

For those having problems viewing this via a browser I have added these stand-alone versions that can be downloaded to your PC / Mac to view:

MAC Zip File

PC Zip File

Just upload them to your PC and unzip. If you can't unzip or don't know how then I can supply an unzipped file but it will be a bit big at 40Mbs.

Also, I have tested the PC version on my PC but I have never had a Mac so I don't know the file structures for a Mac. In a PC version there is an 'exe' file which launches the files. I can't see an exe file in the Mac one but I am assuming the Mac files structure is different from PC and Mac users will know how to launch the thing. If not, let me know.

Sorry for that rather long boring paragraph there!
