Reconstruction of a pre-romanesque fountain

Following the project of reconstructing a pre-romanesque church one of my students (Pelayo Huerta Segovia) conducted a similar project with a pre-romanesque fountain in Oviedo: La Foncalada.

The pictures were taken in 2017 but the reconstruction with VisualSFM and CloudCompare was not very good; you can download the model here, it is a non-textured mesh with 1 million faces and an obvious flaw (a huge blob at the top).

In 2020 I processed the pictures with Meshroom and RealityCapture with outstanding results:

Download here the Meshroom model (warning! 1.2 GB). It is a half a million textured mesh much better than the prior one but with a major caveat: the textures are 39 files (1.2 GB) and they make the model quite unconfortable to use :( It can be improved a little bit by converting them to JPG but not enough to upload the model to an online platform.
Download here the RealityCapture model (106 MB). It is a half a million textured mesh with a slightly smoother look and a much more manageable texture (one single 96 MB file).

The RealityCapture model was small enough to be uploaded to p3d.in and you can enjoy it below:

Also in 2020, Pelayo retopologized and rebaked the last model to create an optimized one, you can download that optimized model here.
