10 / 3D scanning and photogrammetry
Photogrammetry reconstructs a subject from overlapping photographs. A captured surface can be a valuable production starting point, but the resulting data often needs cleanup and adaptation before it becomes a useful real-time asset.
We plan scanning around the subject, the required detail and the destination. Capturing a person, a small product and an environment introduces different practical constraints and different expectations for the final model.
We assess access, lighting, surface characteristics and the detail that needs to survive in the final experience. Reflective, transparent or moving subjects may need a different approach. The brief should distinguish raw capture from a cleaned model, a retopologised asset or a fully integrated character.
02 / Production scope
Assess the subject, references and practical conditions, then define an appropriate capture plan.
Process captured data and scope the correction of gaps or artefacts against the agreed delivery standard.
Prepare topology, textures and exports where the result needs to work in a real-time or character pipeline.
03 / Applications
Create a starting point for a digital character, with consent and intended-use rights established first.
Capture physical references for product, prop or archival production workflows.
Develop spatial reference or environment assets where access and capture conditions support the required result.
A photogrammetry services brief should distinguish visual fidelity from measurement accuracy. A model intended for a distant background asset does not need the same capture density or cleanup as a close-up digital double. Identify which features must remain faithful, how the result will be viewed and whether the subject can be prepared for capture. Access restrictions and changing lighting can affect the plan for environments. For people, establish consent, permitted uses and handling of capture data before production. These decisions shape both the capture method and the work required after reconstruction.
You do not need a finished specification to start a conversation. Share the intended audience, the outcome you need and any existing material. Include a target date or platform constraint if you have one. We can use those details to discuss the right starting point and the questions a production scope needs to answer.
Send photographs of the subject, its approximate size and where the finished asset will be used.

Not reliably with a single method. Transparent, glossy, featureless or moving surfaces can create reconstruction problems and may need alternative preparation or modelling.
Usually not. Geometry, textures, scale and topology may need further work. We define whether the deliverable is raw data, a cleaned scan or an optimised asset.
Do not assume that a visual-production scan is metrology-grade. Required accuracy and validation methods must be explicitly agreed for any measurement-sensitive use.
Subject size, material, location, available access, intended use and required output format. Photographs of the subject are a useful first reference.
