Plow graffiti in Villarrubia de los Ojos Jail

sketchfab

The 18th century prison of Villarrubia de los Ojos is situated in the heart of the town of Villarrubia de los Ojos, which is located in Ciudad Real, Spain. As was true for other prisons of its time, the walls of some cells at this jail feature intricate engravings, or graffiti. Among these engravings, a plow stands out as a distinct representation. The depiction of a plow likely relates to the fact that during the 18th century, most workers in this region were farmers. A three-dimensional model of this prison was created using 60 images captured with Reality Capture technology. Additional processing and refinement were done in Geomagic Wrap, Zbrush, Substance Designer, and Blender software. Sources: López-Menchero, V.M., et al.
