Abstract:
Two key points of scientific computer-based 3D reconstructions are the methods of their making and the principles of its visualisation. The discussion about the latter one is the main aim of the talk. The attention is paid to the modelling methods, aesthetic and didactic demands of such reconstructions. These methods are strongly connected with monuments’ features, typology of the reconstructions and their purposes. For example, it could be a reconstruction from specific point of view, a visualisation showing the difference between building stages, a presentation of the important architectural peculiarities of the monument or the type of an architectural object, a visualization of some typical urban or rural environment and so on.
The two main points are the selection of view types (from main axonometric or orthographic to particular points of view) and the options of visualization (from hyper realistic renders to schematic views). On the one hand the axonometric view could be the best way to presented main features of a monument by one view. On the other hand the particular point of view could be important to demonstrate the specific peculiarities of a monument and show the real viewpoints seen by the people of that time. The choice between natural, schematic or stylized renders is also connected with the purposes of reconstruction. Furthermore they could give the opportunity to make the graphical visualisation of the reconstruction’s argumentation and the degree of their hypothetical character. It enables to use the reconstruction in scientific discussions and as an instrument of verification. The special attention should be paid to the tendency of using the unreal viewpoints unconnected with the architectural peculiarities of the monument as well as in hyperrealism and concentration of the entourage unimportant for presentation of the features of chosen architectural objects.
