Badia Camaldolese, Volterra: 3D model of the Church, heavily edited for 3D printing purposes. Starting from the 3D model of the survey, some manual editing process has been used to make the model printable using a 3D printer (for creating an architectural maquette). The work was: filling the gaps in the survey (unsampled areas due to vegetation and rubble), complete the missing building areas on the side, close the bottom with a base, clean the topology of the mesh (remove degenerated triangulation, close small holes, remove non-manifold elements) - 2 millions triangles. 3D digitization by Visual Computing Lab, ISTI-CNR - Survey carried out in the framework of the ArTeSalVa Project, aimed at the study, documentation and enhancement of historic buildings currently in a state of decay or underused. The Camaldolese abbey complex was built around 1030. It was enlarged and decorated between the 17th and 18th centuries. It was abandoned in the middle of 19th century and in the last few years it has been partially restored. The church, now in ruin, is still a focal point of the complex, and is used for outdoor events.
