This week I got the chance to work with the very talented Model/Dancer, Joceline Brooke-Hamilton. I was able to finally test the new studio space and the Single Shot 3D Body Capture System. Which worked really well. Together we took 100′s of poses! Joceline is very versatile and super creative, also a wonderful Ballet Dancer, so ideal to push the system to it’s limits.

Well its been a long time since I have posted. Much has been happening, a lot of 3D scanning; people, teeth, props, and even more people. I’m also in the process of moving studios – same address just three or four times the space. Nearly 110 sq ft. Over the past few months I have been removing stud walls, lots of painting and too much hammering with a rubber mallet on 300 soft floor tiles! …many late nights a few Orange Capri Sun’s later, the studio is ready to move into.

I’ve been trying to mimic the recent work published by the USC ICT. I managed to mimic the Normal Map creation process back in September 2010 and with the help of Merry Hodgkinson we were able to find a way to Displace Geometry using the Normal Map’s, not just at render time.

I thought it might be time for another update. I’m still wrapping up on some fun projects but I have more time now to put into 3D Scanning research. Currently testing with 42x 18MP Canons, even these aren’t enough for 360 Degree Scanning. Well nearly.. but I am running out of room so I can’t test any further!

I wanted to share my findings with regards to the quality of the new face capture rig here and how to correctly publish assets for clients to use in a production. Trying not to cut corners and deliver high fidelity, clean captures, on time!
