The Handyscan 3D laser scanners are widely used to help artists, video game designers and filmmakers create special effects and realistic scenes.

Video games

Creating realistic environments is a constant challenge for video game designers. The Handyscan 3D line-up is used to scan bricks, tiles, construction materials, fruits, tree leaves, and many other objects and textures that are difficult to design with most CAD or other 3D design applications. With the Handyscan 3D laser scanners, users can scan objects in great detail and capture textures with ease. The object’s digital representation can then be mapped over a low resolution object to create high resolution effects. Video game designers can create more realistic environments with the Handyscan 3D scanners to give players unprecedented near real-life feeling and experiences.

Normal mapping

Video game designers create low resolution models and use high resolution images of carpet, bricks, clothing, or props to perform normal mapping and create realistic scenes. The Handyscan 3D scanners greatly simplify model and object digitization, providing unparalleled flexibility to the digital mock-up modification process.

Special effects in movies

With the Handyscan 3D scanners, users can scan actors’ faces and bodies to create a high resolution model that can be imported into special effects software for post-editing. This facilitates the creation of special effects scenes where the actor’s image is perfectly dimensioned and replicated.

Mock-ups

Designers can easily use the Handyscan 3D scanners to scan mock-ups and scale them up as needed to create movie sets. Users can also make set mock-ups and take screen shots of dangerous action scenes using dummies of the actors.
