Ricostruzione 3D del sito fortificato di Monte Croccia (Basilicata, Italia)

The reconstruction work of the fortified site of Monte Croccia aims to create virtual models seeking a synthesis between technical restitution of the data and a naturalistic and evocative rendering of the archaeological context. In the case of the context presented in this work, we started from surveys already carried out in past excavations and from photographic shots taken on-site. As a first phase, the surveys were reworked and compared with the photographs, the most important information for the purposes of 3D modeling was recovered and new digital graphic supports were created which formed the basis of the work. In the second phase, after an accurate evaluation and interpretation of all the data available, with the new two-dimensional supports compatible with 3D modeling software, the volumetric models of the archaeological structures to be represented were created. Finally, these models were further processed with high-resolution textures for the final photo-realistic rendering
