FAQ
Scanning
GC 3D scan is located in Helensvale on the Gold Coast QLD Australia. We do not accept walk-ins. Our full address is provided upon confirmation of booking.
We prefer to have clients come to us to get scanned but the 3D Scanner is transportable. Depending on the scale and time frame of the job/event, the scanner can be transported anywhere in Australia.
The process of turning the 100 photos that the scanner captures into a 3D model does have some limitations. We provide an information document ahead of time to anyone getting 3D scanned. The document lists things to avoid and suggestions for a better looking scan.
If you have any questions that aren’t answered in the document or if you need a scan that includes an item that is on the list of things to be avoided, we can asses the item in question and see if it is possible to include it within the scan.
Getting a scan is as simple as getting your photo taken, since the scanner is made up of 100 cameras.
You will only have to hold a pose for a few seconds and you will be able to try several poses and pick the ones you like most.
We offer 2D and 3D retouching services for our scans.
2D Retouching changes the image on the figure e.g. changing colours of clothing or removing skin imperfections.
3D Retouching changes the shape of the figure e.g. slimming down the figure or making adjustments to the pose.
