Virtual Sets allow us to create 3D environments with realistic lighting, textures and props. We can copy incredibly fast in 3D/UE4 any photograph or concept art that you can imagine, then shoot in real time with that CGI set at 4K film quality.

They allow prep from home and dramatically reduce art department labour and physical budget, construction time and budget, set decoration and purchase budgets, unit size and cost, VFX time and delivery time. They also eradicate location scouting, location labour and unit moves.

Yes. We keep all assets (if needed) for tweaking in post production, with mattes separated and alpha channels, and we supply Octane Render projects in native format so that they can easily be integrated into existing CGI facilities.

From small objects, to people and vehicles, we can scan almost anything thanks to our portable rig.

Our portable full-body scanners use 150 cameras and capture 36 megapixel RAW at five shots per second. A full body scan has 17 million polys, decimated from 145 million, with a 12k texture.

Our custom built render stations produce normal detail full body scans at a rate of one every ten minutes, per station, or one every one and a half hours at high detail. A retopology service is available for individual assets or batches.

Yes. The rig is internationally portable: one capture computer for every ten cameras, connected via USB3 and fiber optic cable, with our bespoke rig control software.

Previsualisation is one of the first but most important steps we take when producing VFX shots. It shows how a shot will look and how the characters and story will move through the 3D space from the script page, on top of already filmed footage or as whole CG shots from the ground up.

We are always more than happy to receive concepts from your production team. However, our in-house concept artists are always ready to receive any notes and ideas you have regarding the scene and can have a 3D space ready for you to use and film around before you even begin filming.
