3D Scans
3D Scans - FAQ
What are 3D scans?
3D scans capture real-world objects and convert them into digital assets. Using cameras, lasers, or photogrammetry, scans preserve surface detail and shape with high accuracy. They’re widely used for anatomy study, natural environments, props, and VFX.
Why use scans in production?
Scans bring unmatched realism. Instead of sculpting every pore, wrinkle, or rock by hand, artists can start with real-world data and then refine or optimize it. This speeds up workflows while preserving authenticity.
Do you provide raw or optimized scans?
Both. Raw scans are perfect for study, while retopologized scans are ready for game or film pipelines.
What formats are included?
OBJ, FBX, STL, and ZTL are commonly provided, ensuring compatibility across most 3D tools.
Are 3D scans useful for beginners?
Yes - they’re excellent for anatomy practice, texturing, or as references for sculpting.
How can I expand my use of scans?
Pair 3D Scans with Textures and HDRI Images for added realism, or explore Photogrammetry Tutorials to learn how to create your own scans.
