Detailed Scans of Historic Armor
Our recent endeavors include the intricate scanning of two extensive sets of medieval armor, employing our sophisticated rig outfitted with 130 Canon D250 cameras.

Discover the remarkable fidelity of our work through these featured scans:
We carefully disassemble each armor set into individual components—helmets, gauntlets, chestplates, and more—to provide versatile and detailed references ideal for any CG project.
The image stabilizing works well on all the neon lights that pepper Tokyo, while even people were neatly captured. There’s some noise, but it compares favorably against older Galaxy phones. Daylight meant effortless captures and some really nice shots, if I say so myself.
