3D Scanning
From a skyscraper to an insect, we are trained scanning technicians with a background in visual fx as well as CAD engineering workflows. We scan with your needs in mind.
What is it?
The most common ways of generating a 3D asset are through CAD, traditional polygon modeling, photogrammetry, and scanning. Using scanners provides a level of shape accuracy as well as color accuracy that are objective and not subject to an artist’s interpretation of a real world object.
How long does it take?
Scanners are capable of capturing entire skyscrapers or small coins and everything in between. The time to produce a 3D model depends on the size and complexity of the object being captured. Most small/medium objects can be processed in just a couple of hours into a final quality 3D asset. The most important thing is to use the right tool for the job based on budget, timing, and art direction.
How much does it cost?
Similar to the previous question, this depends on size and complexity. It’s reasonable to expect an object to cost at least $200 to capture and process, and of course the price scales up as those variables do.
