Abstract

This paper proposes an experimental feedback on the use of various forms of 3D restorations of monumental complexes. We refer in particular to a castle (Chinon) and a monastery (Saint-Cosme in La Riche, near Tours), two historic monuments that are the property of the General Council of Indre-et-Loire. 3D restorations are generally intended for the general public, but their interest also involves archaeological research, by allowing scholars to test hypotheses and visualize buildings in their original aspect. They also impose a synthetic vision of monumental large sets that are unevenly documented, and allow a better comprehension of their general organization and evolution. Whatever their objective is, they can have several levels of detail and can be associated with databases which supply further information. According to budget, extension, archaeological knowledge of the monuments to be modelled and the desired educational aim, solutions are diverse and can go from the simple model to the dumping in the virtual image, via various levels of detail. By foreseeing all the operational questions before launching a project of 3D restoration, it is possible to reach the intended goals at the lowest cost.
