Comprehensive Set Scanning for VFX Excellence

Film industry spatial scanning in Austin with millimeter precision

What is Set Scanning?

Set scanning is the process of capturing complete 3D spatial data from film sets, locations, and environments using advanced LiDAR technology. Our scanning sets for VFX service creates highly accurate digital replicas that integrate seamlessly with your post-production pipeline, enabling perfect camera tracking, matchmoving, and CGI integration.

Our 3D Laser Scanning Process for Film Sets

Using state-of-the-art terrestrial LiDAR scanners, we capture millions of measurement points per second, creating comprehensive point clouds that represent your set with sub-millimeter accuracy. This detailed room capture for VFX ensures that every surface, angle, and dimension is preserved digitally for your production needs.

1. Pre-Production Planning

We collaborate with your production team to understand specific requirements, determining optimal scan positions and resolution needs for your VFX workflow.

2. On-Set Scanning

Our Austin-based crew arrives with professional equipment, completing comprehensive scans without disrupting your shooting schedule. Multiple scan positions ensure complete coverage.

3. Data Processing

Raw scan data is registered, cleaned, and optimized. Point clouds are processed into mesh models, with texture mapping applied for photorealistic results.

4. Delivery & Support

Receive production-ready files in your preferred format with full technical documentation. Our team provides integration support throughout post-production.
