We’re pleased to share an exciting update from the RCtoDC (From Raw Collection to Digital Collection) project. Our team recently completed a new round of field work in Ljubljana, where we carried out the 3D documentation of two exceptional marble angel sculptures by the renowned Baroque sculptor Francesco Robba (1698–1757).Created between 1740 and 1750, these sculptures stand as remarkable examples of Robba’s mastery of form, movement, and marble carving, and they hold an impor...

We’re excited to unveil our latest digital capture: a 3D scan of Francesco Robba’s sculpture of Saint Bonaventure.This exceptional Baroque artwork has now been preserved in detailed digital form, providing wider access for research, conservation, and public appreciation.How We Scanned ItThe sculpture was digitized using a hybrid workflow designed to capture both precise geometry and high-quality textures. We used the Artec Leo for rapid, high-accuracy scanning of the overall structur...

We employed the Artec Leo for rapid, high-precis...

We’re pleased to share another exciting achievement from the RCtoDC (From Raw Collection to Digital Collection) project. Our latest fieldwork brought us to the Church of St. Francis Assisi in Ljubljana, where we successfully completed the 3D digitization of two remarkable Baroque sculptures by Francesco Robba (1698–1757): Saint Anthony of Padua and Saint Bonaventure, created around 1747.Originally crafted for the church’s main altar, these sculptures underwent a long journ...

We’re pleased to announce the digital preservation of the Saint John Nepomuk sculpture, now available to explore in interactive 3D form.Captured using the Artec Leo 3D scanner alongside Canon EOS R5 Mark II photography, and processed in Artec Studio Professional, this detailed digital model ensures the faithful preservation of every feature and texture of this Baroque masterpiece.Behind the ProcessCombining structured light scanning with high-resolution photographic imaging, our team docum...

On October 24, 2025, the RCtoDC project successfully held its fourth webinar, Data Processing, Editing & Management, continuing the series dedicated to advancing knowledge and practice in digital cultural heritage. Hosted on Google Workspace, this session focused on the crucial processes that transform raw 3D scan data into refined, shareable models. Participants gained insights into topics such as data pre-selection, alignment, meshing, texturing, and model editing workflows. The webin...

We’re excited to share a newly digitized work: Francesco Robba’s marble sculpture of St Roch, now preserved in detailed digital form. The sculpture was scanned using the Artec Leo and Canon EOS R5 Mark II, with processing in Artec Studio Professional to produce a high-fidelity digital replica. How We Captured ItThe digitization process combined structured light scanning and high-resolution photography to capture the sculpture’s form and surface texture with exceptiona...

We’ve published a new glossary of key terms and definitions related to 3D data processing, editing, and management. This resource is designed to support professionals, researchers, and students working with 3D models by offering clear explanations of commonly used terminology in the field.Whether you're exploring structured light scanning, mesh decimation, or data registration, this glossary can help you better understand the concepts and communicate more effectively across teams and d...

We’re delighted to announce the digital preservation of the Saint Leopold sculpture, making this important piece from the Klagenfurt Cathedral’s collection accessible in interactive form.The sculpture was captured using the Artec Leo 3D scanner in combination with Canon EOS R5 Mark II photography, and processed in Artec Studio 19 to produce a faithful, high-resolution digital model that preserves every nuance of its Baroque craftsmanship.Behind the ProcessThrough the integration of s...

We’re proud to announce that RCtoDC was successfully showcased at the Cluster Event on the Common European Data Space for Cultural Heritage, held on 24 September 2025 in Brussels.The event, organised by the European Commission, brought together leading EU-funded projects to highlight progress in digitising and connecting Europe’s cultural heritage. RCtoDC presented its innovative approach to transforming raw cultural data into accessible digital assets through 3D digitisation, AI, an...
