As I explained in my previous post, all the attempts to get to a proper result that I made using Photoshop had been vain. Since I was not able toContinue reading “Wagon Plates – Step 3”

Wagon Plates – Step 2

Hi again, Today I show you the second step of the restoration of our Etruscan plates. Once understood the technology behind their realization, I had to create a digital copy of each plate. The easiest way to create a 3D model totally identical to a real object is not to create a 3D model! ThisContinue reading “Wagon Plates – Step 2”

Wagon Plates – Step 1

Hello everybody, My first work for the V-Must project is for Etruscanning 3D. It consists in the digital restoration of seven Etruscan plates in bronze of the middle orientalizing period (670 – 650 b.C.), which come from the Monte Michele tomb number 5 in Veii. They were part of the decoration of the wooden wagonContinue reading “Wagon Plates – Step 1”

It is a very interesting group composed by people with different background and a shared interest for the application of new technologies in cultural heritage contexts. After the presentation of a project on the landscapeContinue reading “Dealing with Uncertainties”

What is the Virtual Restoration

But before starting, I find it necessary to give you a short introduction on what is a virtual restoration process and why itContinue reading “What is the Virtual Restoration”
