We used the time period of the Corona shutdown to carry out a church digitization project in order to make the process and approach of 3D monument documentation easy to understand. We have fully implemented one of our 3D process chains with our interns and documented various options for 3D data processing.
The project, focusing on the small but particularly lovely Romanesque church St. Aegidius, is now presented on its very own website.
There you can learn more about the building research, the variety of airborne and terrestrial 3D scanning techniques and technologies used (including an ultra-light paraglider trike, a drone, laser scanning, and photogrammetry), and the 3D modelling process.
A visit to the project website is worthwhile! It is full of extensive and detailed information on the following topics in connection with documenting historic buildings in 3D with a minimal budget:
Making local monuments digitally accessible - documenting in 3D and telling a story...
Using the latest technologies for digital architectural surveying, both airborne and terrestrial, as well as 3D modelling, the 3D monument preservation specialists from the ArcTron company group (Germany) have recorded the Romanesque church of St. Ägidius in three dimensions.
Reducing the data to a so-called “low-poly” model, which requires less storage space and thus less processing power, ensures that it will be accessible via the internet to visitors on a wide variety of devices and platforms. The reduced model can also be utilised in future projects, whether in VR (virtual reality) or AR (augmented reality) applications or in games.
The 3D model is accessible via Sketchfab and can be viewed and experienced from the inside and outside as desired. We hope you enjoy exploring this historic landmark from our homeland!
