Realscan 3D Takes 3D Scanning Sky High

REDONDO BEACH, Calif., July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Realscan 3D (www.Realscan3D.com), the next generation in mobile, high resolution, high color, structured light 3D scanning, today announced the delivery of eleven scanned animation-ready models for the Disney feature Sky High, which include models for Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston.

"Our digital doubles don't lurk in the shadows like doubles seen in other films," said Frank De Marco, President of Realscan 3D. "Our models are ready for any shot ranging from close-up to long-shot. With Realscan 3D models, directors don't have to compromise. Check out the scenes where the car drops on Will Stronghold (Michael Anganaro), and where Lash (Jake Sandvig) stretches to avoid a fireball in Sky High starring Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston ( http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/skyhigh/ ). Our work is seamless within each shot."

All the actors and props for the Sky High project were captured on-set and between takes using Realscan 3D's proprietary portable capture system. Utilizing the high-resolution texture maps and geometry captured by Realscan 3D, the production had highly detailed models with film quality textures. All eleven models were built and delivered to the production in less than a week each.

"We have been working on our proprietary pipeline for over six years and the work we are doing is now surpassing anything previously seen from any 3D scanning company," said Joel Thornton, Chief Technology Officer of Realscan 3D. "Realscan 3D is increasingly being recognized alongside much larger companies as the premiere 3D scanning boutique for film, television, and video game productions."

Founded in 2004, Realscan 3D is a rapidly growing Los Angeles based Effects Company specializing in creating film quality digital doubles using structured light 3D scanning. Realscan 3D is the culmination of over 10 years of structured light scanning experience. This, combined with Realscan 3D's proprietary software and hardware development has enabled Realscan 3D to achieve unprecedented levels of quality and efficiency rivaling any existing scanning technology. Realscan's goal is to revolutionize the way digital assets are created for film productions, and to continually push structured light scanning technology to the next level.
