Character Scanning

INTRODUCING
ON-SET CHARACTER SCANNING

We are committed to providing data that is true to life, and we have worked hard to be able to deliver clean, unmodified scans to our clients. Photogrammetry provides high resolution texture maps automatically aligned with each scan, avoiding the need for potentially inaccurate projection and painting by an artist. We can also provide your team with these camera positions, giving you perfectly aligned photo reference for re-projecting textures.

CROSS-POLARIZED MOBILE SYSTEM

160x DSLR

After years of R&D, Pixel Light Effects has rolled out our custom-built, on-site mobile 3D scanning unit. Permanently installed inside a Mercedes Sprinter cargo truck, our mobile system offers:

Instant captures
Cross-polarized 3D scans
Non-polarized look-development reference
Mimimal setup time – 1hr
8x25ft footprint on set
110V 15A universal power
Integrated high resolution FACS (facial expressions) scanning

Our mobile system does not sacrifice any of the accuracy or details of our stage rig. Highly convenient for both talent and production, as well as adaptable to location specific demands.
