Fact Sheet 3

Cyber-scanning of film sets or real world locations

Q: What does this mean?
A: Cyber-scanning film set and real world locations means taking a powerful laser scanner to a site and taking millions of reference points from the surface of objects and elements within that location.

Q: How is this done?
A: By using tripod mounted scanning systems we take scans from fixed points on a film set. The scanners are small and portable, about the size of a tool box. The scanners can scan at night which is good for down time on set.

Q: What do you need to scan a set?
A: Access to view into the set so that we can capture all its forms. That way we don't miss any areas and you get a good model.

Q: Who long dos it take?
A: The more complex the set is, the longer it takes to scan and build in post.

Q: What do we get?
A: You get a model of your set in CG format. We give data in most 3d formats and with reference images. Alas we do not attach images to the models.
