PBR 3D Scanner

Professional, stationary scanner for scanning 3D models with PBR textures, which allows you to accurately convey the visual properties of materials

PBR Materials Scanner

A professional 3D material scanner designed specifically for obtaining accurate Normal, Bump, Gloss, Metalness, Reflection maps

SmartLight

Throughout the year, we plan to release a pocket scanner for PBR models and materials, which will also be a good light for photographers and bloggers.

OUR MISSION

Make it as easy as possible to obtain digital twins in the most photo-realistic quality.

We develop scanning technologies to make digital twins of all products in the world, so that any manufacturer or individual can scan all their products in 3D and render them realistically in different lighting conditions and in different environments. It will greatly improve 3D visualization, interior and exterior design, creation of presentations, video advertisements, games, movies, etc.

Lowpoly Slipper

This model has an automatically generated mesh with a very small number of triangles, only 50k of them, which can work on mobile phones, but thanks to the normal map, the model looks extremely detailed.

Boot

This example demonstrates the quality transfer of complex material, using a minimum number of maps, which allows you to speed up downloading over the Internet and optimize the use of RAM and video memory.

shoes

This example demonstrates scanning a complex material that has a layer of metallicity and clear coat on top.

Editing after scanning

This example demonstrates the ability to modify scanned objects, a small sample has been scanned, properly cropped and tiled so that it can now be used in interior design.

Aloe

This object demonstrates the scanning of plants with a lot of small branches, while maintaining a low number of polygons, which allows it to be used on mobile phones and for AR

Examples of scanned materials

Scanning materials allows their natural behavior under different lighting conditions.

(Please move your finger or hold down the left mouse button on the material to change the direction of the light. Double-click to change the lighting type.)

Our advantages

Our main advantage is scanning not only the shape and color of 3D objects and materials, but also their visible physical properties, such as metallicity, glossiness, two layers of normals, specular color, diffuse color, refraction and some other maps, this allows you to visualize the scanned objects to the maximum realistic.

In the next version of the scanner, which will be released in a few months, it will be possible to scan wool, hair and partially transparent objects.

3D models and materials scanned using our technologies can be used in visualization of interiors and exteriors, in games, films, AR and in online stores.

Showcase

All examples were scanned exclusively by algorithms developed by us and equipment developed by us.
(Please note that in these links most of the work was done four or five years ago, the quality is much worse there, but we leave them for history)

Stationary scanner

We already have this type of scanners for more than 6 years and we continue to develop and improve them, they allow you to get the maximum scanning speed, quality and details of the physical properties of materials, but they are quite heavy and large, they can be installed to building room or a freight bus.

This type of scanners allow you to scan both 3D models with visible properties of materials for each pixel and separately materials.

The scanner can be of any size, the maximum size of the scanned model is two times smaller than the scanner

Expected in 2025

Mobile PBR Scanner

The purpose of this development is to make sure that everyone can carry in their pocket a 3D scanner that allows you to get all the main PBR maps and a normal map.

Of course, this type of scanner will not be able to give the same quality as a stationary, professional scanner, but in many cases it will not be replaceable, since you can always carry it with you.

It will be possible to scan even on a regular mobile phone with a built-in LED, but as a rule, the built-in light in mobile phones is not powerful enough, so we plan to develop a more powerful and smarter light for scanning by mobile phones.

Expected in 2025

what we are
developing now

Now we are focusing on scanning technology for hair, wool and transparent things, this will be possible with the next versions of stationary scanners.

Online Projects

In addition to developing scanners, we are actively developing useful projects that will help people in their daily lives through PBR scanning.

*All these projects are under development and are not yet available.

Online store for home

In the online store, the buyer can not only choose the material or interior and exterior items, but also rotate them and see how they look in different lighting conditions, as well as see how they will look in his home using AR or in the built-in editor. Professionals will be able to load 3D models and materials in any popular 3D editor and use them to visualize their designs.

Presentation in Ukrainian

Online clothing store

This store is designed not only to display clothing models, but also to try them on a character with the same parameters as the buyer, so the buyer will see how different combinations of clothes and accessories will be worn on him, how they will look in different poses, from different sides and in different environments.

Presentation in Ukrainian

Online 3D Editor

This online project is designed so that everyone can create a design using scanned realistic models, scanned PBR materials and quickly get a photorealistic render. This is especially true for the design of interiors and exteriors, but it can also be used for other designs.

This editor can also be integrated with online stores.

What we offer for stores

This is a list of issues that we offer to resolve with a PBR scan

The client cannot or does not have time to come to the store to look at the product or product is not available in the store

The customer can view the product online in fine detail, at different angles and in different lighting, and even try it on in the design editor or AR

The client does not know whether the size of the product will fit his needs.

We offer two AR solutions: an application that will allow you to see the dimensions of the product in its interior and a design program where the user can try on the product in the design. 

The client cannot imagine which product will look better and wants to try on several.

Our AR solutions and editors allow you to get a photorealistic image to finally understand how the product will look in the design or existing location.

The client wants to see how the product will look in different lighting

We scan and display not only the shape and color of materials, but also their visible physical properties, which allows you to view the material under different lighting and from different angles.

The customer wants to see how the design will look with real products before buying them.

To do this, we provide the opportunity for users to compose compositions of goods in AR and provide programs in which you can make designs from the offered goods.

The client wants to know the total cost of the product in the design.

The program can automatically calculate the cost of the goods used in the design

Architectural visualization

Architectural visualization allows you to obtain realistic images of interiors and interiors with real materials. This allows you to sell the house during construction and save on redesign.
