Get a first look at Ridley Scott’s latest project, The Dog Stars, featuring Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Guy Pearce, and Margaret Qualley.
To bring this dystopian vision to life, the team at Visualskies traveled across Italy, from big cities to the most remote corners, capturing extensive cyber, prop, and environment scans.
Who else is excited for this one? Arriving in theaters August 28th, 2026.

FRESH. NEW. PIXELS.
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Visualskies, we’re launching a brand-new website showcasing our best 3D scanning projects from the last decade, as well as how we’re redefining the scanning across many sectors.
Check out our Film and TV work, featuring recent hits like Project Hail Mary, Sinners, and Paddington in Peru, alongside experiential projects ranging from Virtual Reality to large-scale exhibitions as well as in construction and archaeology.
Our new site also hosts the Visualskies Blog, a hub for benchmarking the scanning industry. We explore contemporary issues through critical analysis, researching both the fundamentals of 3D scanning and the emerging technologies, transforming the field across multiple sectors.
Most importantly, it’s a space to connect. Visit the new / website and let’s discuss how we can bring your next project to life!
Heading to NAB 2026! 🎰🚀
The team is officially touching down in Las Vegas for NAB Show!
As the world of media and broadcast shifts further into the third dimension, managing 3D data at scale has never been more critical. We’re excited to showcase how our volumetric asset management platform Volustor is helping studios and creators organize, protect, and distribute thousands of high-fidelity 3D scans.
Whether you’re navigating complex licensing rights or looking for seamless access to massive volumetric libraries, we’ve got you covered.
Let’s connect:
Are you attending NAB this year?

Get a closer look at Bawma, the primary antagonist in the latest trailer for 007: First Light, the highly anticipated espionage action-adventure from @ioi_studios
Visualskies had the pleasure of hosting @lennykravitz at our New York studio @theflug for a full scanning session. We captured high-fidelity full-body data and a complete FACS session. We processed and delivered over 40 high-quality facial expressions to capture Lenny’s likeness and to help bring the character of Bawma to life.
007: First Light arrives May 27, 2026, on Xbox Series X/S, PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping official trailer is finally here!
Visualskies broke cyber scanning records by capturing 456 full body scans in just one day - part of a massive 1673 full body scan total for the project, as well as many props and huge environments.
Thanks to our high-speed 10Gbps full body scanning rig with tree network architecture, we kept the momentum moving, getting cast members in and out of the booth in less than a minute. Hours of back-to-back scanning pushed our tech to the limit, and we couldn’t be more excited to see a sneak peak of the final result!

This year, Visualskies officially turns 10 years old. Over the past decade, we’ve traveled the globe, completed hundreds of projects, and lived through more adventures than we ever could have imagined. From the heights of Machu Picchu and the remote Indonesian jungle to the deep grit-filled sewers of London, no two days in the field have ever been the same.
A huge thank you goes out to everyone we have met along the way. We are incredibly grateful to the fixers who kept us safe from poisonous snakes and scorpions, and to the many talented Film and TV crews across the world who make long shoot days so much more enjoyable. Most importantly, a special shoutout to all the Visualskies employees and freelance staff, past and present, who have endured the late nights, long-haul flights, tight deadlines, and mountains of data and equipment required to ensure every project resulted in a perfect scan.
Seeing how rapidly scanning technology and workflows have evolved over the years makes us incredibly excited for the future and the next chapter of our journey. We can’t wait to see where the next adventure takes us... here’s to the next 10 years!

“What have women ever invented?”
Normally, responding to nonsensical rage-bait is a waste of time, but today, we’re glad you asked!
Right now, the Lippisches Landesmuseum in Detmold is celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Hermann Monument. As part of this, the Visualskies team had the honour of 3D scanning a monument of Ada Lovelace, along with other exceptional women throughout history, helping to showcase her incredible story and her legacy through cutting-edge holograms and VR.
It’s fitting to use these emerging technologies to honour Lovelace, considering she is widely recognised as the world’s first computer programmer. She wrote the very first algorithm intended for a machine to process. And today at Visualskies, we rely on the very foundation she built. We use computer programming constantly to process massive amounts of spatial data, turning millions of data points into photorealistic 3D scans.
So, @justinwaller7 , in answer to your question, try “computer programming.”
Want to experience this ground breaking tech in person? Go check out the exhibition, running now at the Lippisches Landesmuseum in Detmold, and see how today’s tech is being used to honour yesterday’s pioneers.

“The best scanning team!” – Andy Weir ✍️
With the movie release right around the corner, we’re throwing it back to this signed copy of Project Hail Mary from our time working on the show. It was an honor to provide the scanning for this epic story.
See you in the Tau Ceti system! ☄️
