Abstract: The digital preservation of cultural heritage of 3D reconstructed objects presents a new challenge due to difficulties associated with this technique. The importance of 3D reconstruction especially in the context of preservation and visualization of heritage buildings as many studies have been conducted that underlined its importance. To this effect, the present study proposed a new digital preservation best practice to visualize heritage monuments and buildings based on artistic considerations for the graphic designer responsible for this task. The best practices presented in this study includes the open standards, procedures, observations as well as considerations that are needed on the objects to be regarded as acceptable for visualization purposes. The proposed best practices were pilot tested by having 33 computer graphics students apply these practices to visualize heritage buildings as assigned.
