Services/Actor 3d Scanning
Overview
We scan actors and performers for film, games, digital doubles, virtual fashion, and VFX. Our Montreal studio offers full-body photogrammetry, facial capture, and RGB scanning using custom multi-camera rigs and Xangle software.
Full-Body 3D Scanning
Our 200-camera DSLR photogrammetry rig captures full-body scans for games, film, commercials, and experimental projects.
Lighting Modes: • Neutral Light (flat bounce): clean, consistent lighting for standard asset workflows. • Projected Scene: Captures projected textures for stylized or artistic results.
Capture Features: • Dynamic motion support (jumping, dancing). • Burst mode for blendshapes, range-of-motion (ROM) sets, and expressive poses. • OLAT, ROM, and cross-polarized capture modes available. • Near-instant preview frames. • Base delivery: RAW (CR2). • Optional outputs: OBJ, FBX, Gaussian Splat format (3DGS).
Head Scan & FACS (Facial Action Coding System)
The 110-camera DSLR head rig captures facial geometry and expressions for blendshape creation and realistic facial animation.
FACS Capture Details: • 4 to 60 expressions per session. • RGB lighting and OLAT lighting variations. • Approximately 2 minutes per capture. • Short flash duration allows for expressive performance without requiring the performer to hold completely still. • Real-time preview after each shot.
Lighting: • 600px RGB LED scene lighting. • Bounced strobe and OLAT lighting options.
RGB 3D Scanning for Volumetric Integration
We offer full-color 3D scans optimized for volumetric and image-based workflows, including Gaussian Splatting and hybrid pipelines.
• Scans can be used in image-based rendering environments. • Short flash duration allows capture without requiring rigid stillness. • Suitable for digital humans, immersive media, and visual research.
Applications: • Digital doubles for film and episodic content. • Character scan for AAA games. • Facial blendshape datasets (FACS). • Neural rendering and Gaussian splatting pipelines.
Made in Montreal All scans are captured at our studio in Plateau Mont-Royal, fully operated by the Xangle team. Our systems and software are designed, built, and supported in-house, ensuring full creative and technical control at every step.
