Watch A 94-Camera Rig 3D Scan A Human Into Virtual Reality
Marshmallow Laser Feast, in collaboration with Analog, have recreated a 16k photorealistic-textured human recreation for the new music video for Duologue's "MEMEX."
Using FBFX's 94-camera real-time hi-res scanning rig, MLF created a 16k photorealistic full-body scan of model Beryl Nesbitt. Capturing her 360º 3D scan in 1/13,000th of a second, and combining it with a spherical panoramic HDR photo of a sunset (for realistic lighting) provided by Analog, Nesbitt was then recreated as a moving photo-scan that, in traditional MLF fashion, smashes traditional image forms. Says MLF, "What's particularly exciting […] about this project is that it's the beginning of a deeper study into photoreal real-time VR." Simply put, it's a beautiful attempt at a live 1:1 recreation of flesh-and-blood in the digital format.Below, see the down-to-the-pore recreation of model Beryl Nesbitt:
