3D Scanning For The Creative Industries

Since 3Dify launched with the first 3D body scan and 3D print art installation in the UK we've worked on some fascinating projects with amazing companies and artists. Here are some of our favourites:

For motion capture experts AIQ Synertial we 3D scanned Selin in a full motion capture tracking outfit and provided cleaned and retopologised 3D models to provide an animation ready character

We 3D scanned actor Craig Middleburg in a full WW1 soldier uniform for the brilliant Amsterdam film makers The Panics. A detailed head and body scan were post produced by the studio for a spectacular VFX shot frozen in time and space, that featured in the sci fi teaser Salvation, directed by Mischa Rozema.

For the Stephen Jones exhibition we captured a highly detailed 3D head scan of the famous milliner and a small sculpture of King George IV. These scans were optimised and used to create life size 3D printed gilded busts, which featured prominently at the exhibition.

Artist Gina Czarnecki commissioned 3Dify to create a series of 3D scans of performance artist Iona Kewney. The scans were merged and 3D printed to create the 4m tall pillar sculpture in Polling, Germany.

To help create the visual effects for a crowdfunded short film about homelessness in the UK, 3Dify captured detailed head, hands and feet 3D scans of actor Steve Evets. Pavement was produced by Hannah Stevenson and directed by Jason Wingard, and is part of the Uncertain Kingdom collection.

3Dify are incredibly honoured to have been placed in charge of 3D scanning for Argentinian artist Claudia Fontes' Venice Biennale sculpture. The challenge was to scan two people at a quality high enough for them to then be fabricated at life-size, and scan the artist's maquette of a horse so it could be re-created as a 5 metre tall sculpture. We provided 3D photogrammetry scanning and collaborated with 3D modelling artist Lola Lipsum, who digitally remodelled and re-posed the scans, to realise the artist's amazing vision. Heralded by mainstream media as one of the 'must sees', it was also recognised as one of the 'most photographed' exhibits of the Venice Biennale.

We're very pleased to have worked with Merlin Entertainments on the spectacular Little BIG City, a permanent exhibition in the iconic Berlin TV tower, which takes the visitor on a journey through the history of Berlin in miniature. 3Dify created full 3D body scans of people in authentic period costume and digitally enhanced the models, which were then 3D printed, painted, and added to amazingly detailed historical multi-media dioramas.

3Dify created a highly detailed optimised photogrammetry scan for top VR influencer Sam Watts aka VRSam. Images of the head scan appeared in VRWorldTech Magazine

Commissioned by experiential marketing agency Experience12, we provided bespoke technology for the Vue RealD stand where we captured over 300 costumed attendees and created 3D models for them to view online during the event. These models have achieved almost 50,000 views online. Click on a model to load then drag around to view the model in 3D.

Hawkeye, leaders in the field of sports line call technology, gave 3Dify the challenge of scanning a cricketer in full kit using our high resolution photogrammetry system, and with the help of supreme 3D artist Lola Lipsum, we provided an optimised and retextured model to work in their 3D visualistion for sports television.

For the Brighton Costume Games and the Brighton Digital Festival wrap party we provided the ultimate photobooth 'Revolve'. Our custom bullet time rig froze revellers in action and printed a unique QR code linking to their online video during the event.

1 month, 4 venues, 400+ scans and 3D prints, 6,000,000+ files.

At the Brighton Digital Festival, 3Dify™ provided the technology for the first 3D scanning and 3D printing installation in the UK, Break the Mould. A collaboration with innovative Brighton digital agency Developing Dreams and renowned Italian artist Emilia Telese that received widespread mainstream press attention. People were invited to step inside a giant sculpture, get scanned and 3D printed as a mini sculpture.
