🎉 Congratulations to Demi Moore on her Golden Globe win for Best Actress and her Oscar nomination in the same category! We were thrilled to work with her during the preproduction phase of the movie, scanning her to provide the SFX team with precise references that brought those incredible makeup effects to life. During filming, we also had the opportunity to scan Elizabeth Sparkle in her monstrous form 🧪, as well as Margaret Qualley, to support the VFX team in crafting their stunning visuals. We are excited to see how the movie performs at the Oscars and wish the entire team the best of luck in all the nominated categories!

Nice experience with Scan Engine thank you for your trust #scanegine #面部扫描

✨ Behind the Scan: Hideo Kojima on the Cover of Numéro Art Magazine We’re proud to share our work with @hideo_kojima for his feature on the latest cover of @numeroart For this project, we performed an ultra-high-precision 3D scan of Kojima, capturing every detail of his face and outfit with meticulous accuracy. The goal? To provide artist @frederikheyman with a flawless digital base, allowing him to craft the hyperreal and striking visuals that echo Kojima’s unique universe. Huge thanks to Hideo Kojima for his trust, to Numéro Art for the opportunity, and to Frederik Heyman for his singular vision — swipe through the carousel to discover the stunning results!

Halloween at Unit Image & Scan Engine: Where Costumes Meet CGI-Level Reality This year’s annual Halloween party did not disappoint, from uncanny creatures to eerily accurate characters, our teams really went all-in. And of course… we couldn’t resist turning this into a perfect opportunity to demonstrate our 3D scanning tech. 🕷️ The result? Costumes so detailed, our scans captured every texture, shadow and spooky expression exactly as frightening as they were in real life. 💀 Why it matters: Scan Engine’s cross-polarized, high-resolution workflow doesn’t just preserve costumes, it reveals every nuance of materials, fabrics, makeup, and shapes. In other words: if you looked terrifying at the party, the scan will make sure the internet sees it too. Huge shoutout to everyone who participated, dressed up, and helped bring a little chaos (and a lot of creativity) into the office. #3dscanning #3dscan #vfx #gaussiansplatting

We hope you had a great summer! We’re back with new projects to share. 🎬 To kick things off, let’s talk about Alpha, the latest film by @julia_ducournau (Palme d’Or at Cannes 2021 for Titane, and Raw ), released this summer. Once again, we had the pleasure of collaborating with @mac_guff on this exciting project. Last year, we had the opportunity to 3D-scan actor @taharrahimofficiel . We then delivered a full avatar of the actor, created with our new cross-polarized rig, allowing us to capture albedo and specular maps with great accuracy. 👉 Don’t miss Alpha, now in theaters! #VFX #3DScanning #VirtualProduction #DigitalAvatar #FilmProduction #JuliaDucournau #Titane #Raw #Alpha #Cinema #Innovation #VisualEffects #CannesFilmFestival #PalmeDor

Here is the first trailer for Yoroï, an upcoming movie starring French rapper Orelsan in a Japanese adventure. The film is set to be released in October 2025. We were delighted to collaborate once again with Orelsan, following our first partnership during his Civilisation tour. We scanned his face for the creation of props used in the film. We also worked with @mac_guff , conducting a 3D scan of one of the actresses in the movie. We’re looking forward to watching this film in just a few months! #Yoroi #Orelsan #3DScan #VFX #MacGuff #BehindTheScenes #Cinema2025 #FilmProduction #ComingSoon

During the last Xbox Showcase, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was announced, and we’re proud to have contributed to this amazing project! For this title, our team captured a wide range of facial expressions from an actress to help Asobo Studio bring more detail and realism to the game’s heroine. Skin texture, expressions, and subtle nuances were all precisely scanned to provide a realistic and expressive foundation. The Asobo Studio artists used this data to craft the main character’s design with incredible depth and authenticity.
