Since being founded in 2014, the Wisconsin-based 3D image capture studio Avatarium 3D has been on a constant mission to improve their ability to capture humans, pets, and other objects with the highest quality 3D image capturing technology. The culmination of all their innovative work was on display last month at the Inside 3D Printing Conference and Expo in Santa Clara, California, where the Avatarium 3D team showcased their fastest and most accurate technique thus far.
At the event, the team exhibited their modular Avatarium Studio, a 360-degree array of more than 100 microcomputer cameras able to fully capture physical objects in finely detailed and precise quality. After all of the captured images from the microcomputer cameras are taken, they are sent from the Avatarium Studio and processed within their proprietary software, which they claim is both flexible and also offers users a high-end product. After the captured 3D images are pieced together with Avatarium’s software, the completed model is either 3D printed in the form of a figurine or processed into a 3D character for the various mediums of digital media (such as video games or animated videos).
“The quality of the final product is truly remarkable,” said Will Van Epern, the Vice President of Avatarium 3D. “We had expo attendees that were in the process of purchasing a solution from another manufacturer that stopped that purchase after seeing the final output Avatarium Studio Pro could produce.”
Avatarium is currently offering both the Avatarium Studio Pro and the Avatarium Studio Lite, which allow customers to choose between an extremely durable, more permanent image capturing studio (Pro) and a more portable one, constructed of easily compacted thermoformed panels (Lite). The Avatarium Studio Pro is meant to service retail stores and other more permanent and professional workspaces, while the Avatarium Studio Lite was engineered to be utilized at trade shows, conventions, and other types of events. Both of these modular array solutions come equipped with the array of microcomputer cameras, hardware, software, power supply, and LED lighting. You can access more information of these purchasable 3D image capturing studios on the Avatarium 3D website. Whether you’d like to use this technology in your home studio or a retail store, Avatarium claims to have the proper solution for all of your 3D image capturing needs.
