The new HD Head Scans by 3D Scan Store are the most insanely detailed digital humans I’ve seen. Created with a 120 camera head scanning rig.

How lighting works in @Simulon Using a professional on-set VFX kit, we showcase our unique Image Based Lighting system. Simulon employs ML to create a 360° HDRI from just one LDR shot, aligning it perfectly with scene data. Our virtual camera replicates the physical camera’s

Playing with scale in @Simulon is so magical and a lot of fun. It feels like being a kid again!

Had my cat sleeping next to my computer while I worked so used her as a live reference to create this sleeping Velociraptor. #VFX

"Life, uh, finds a way." - What you're seeing isn't a prop from Spielberg's classic, but a 3D asset brought to life in our world using @Simulon . The dynamic torchlight was tracked using @keen_tools Geotracker working in harmony with Simulon's precise camera and scene

To showcase @Simulon's capability with high-fidelity assets and to highlight the difference between what you see in real-time AR versus the precision of offline cloud rendering, we've made a video using a detailed human scan by @Ten_24. Our workflow was designed to closely

In the new version of @Simulon, we've built a simulated depth of field effect that seamlessly blends CG and real-world elements, mimicking the behavior of a real camera lens. We just love creating miniature shots with shallow focus! Assets by our friends at @bigmediumsmall_

Lighting is key to creating believable VFX. @Simulon generates accurate 360 hdr lighting in seconds. But there��s something much stranger going on in this video. The chrome ball is being moved through the world as if it is actually there. How do you think this is possible? 👀

I was asked about how well @Simulon works for automotive visualization. Using a pre-existing 3D model, creating and rendering a video like this takes just a few minutes. For ultra-detailed reflections, 3D artists might prefer replacing the ML-generated HDRI with a
