How fast is your 3D Scanning Service?
Speed? Is this important? Based on my experience it is. When a 3D scanning service is brought in or hired it is a means to an end. You need to get through this part to get to the model to put it in that spot, film or game.
No one ever said to me "take your time, we have all day". Rather it is "how long will it take, can you do it a little quicker". We have a small window of time to be ready. Does the term hurry up and wait sound familiar? You wait for the talent and then it goes quick when they arrive. Typically every one is in a hurry to get the talent back on set or off the clock, but also want good data.
We now have a solution that is fast in set up, fast to scan with fast to pack up. This is not last years scanner. It is small but accurate, cute but serious, and fast to finish. It is also small enough to put in our hand held baggage, which means we do not check it, we keep it with us. This saves time and money.
Quality should never be compromised at the expense of speed. Often it is a question of which do you want and the answer should always be both.
As production times shorten, and budgets shrink we need to be smarter as we approach these projects.
