Abstract

The Main Sacristy or Sacristy of the Heads, located at the ambulatory of the cathedral of Sigüenza (Spain), was built in the 16th century by Alonso de Covarrubias and Martín de Vandoma. Inside, there is a large vault decorated with 304 heads. On both sides of the interior of the sacristy there are beautiful wooden drawers decorated with numerous figures. The chapel of the Holy Spirit was built on one of the sides of the sacristy, also dating from the 16th century, where the relics of the cathedral are kept. 3D model made in Reality Capture using 49 scan positions and 2977 images. Additional processing completed in Geomagic Wrap Meshlab, and Blender. This work is part of the collaboration agreement signed in 2020 between Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha and GDH. We want to thank the Bishopric of Sigüenza-Guadalajara and the cathedral chapter, especially D. Jesús de las Heras, D. Miguel Ángel Ortega and D. Julián García, for the facilities and for the interest they have shown in the project. Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
