Art and design 3D models

This tall statue in central Luxembourg, which commemorates one of the most famous local writers, was easily captured using a synergy of the wireless handheld 3D scanner Artec Leo and the tripod-mounted laser scanner Artec Ray.

Church façade • Combo

Team Artec is constantly putting 3D scanners through all sorts of tests to see how well they handle a wide range of objects, as well as to delineate the best path to follow for delivering the most accurate results. One such test project is showcased here on this page.

Garuda and Vishnu • Eva • HD

As you can see, the figurine has a very rich and fine geometry from top to bottom – perfect for testing the capabilities of HD Mode.

Metal table HD • Eva • HD

Have a look at each angle of this 3D model and notice how well everything has been captured — from its finest details to its texture, its ornamental design, and its altogether exquisite appearance.

Ornate wooden doors HD • Eva • HD

These elaborately-crafted wooden doors were scanned with an Eva in merely a handful of minutes. Since the resulting 3D model was destined for use in a movie, the doors’ many intricate carvings needed to pass close visual inspection.

Wooden chair HD • Leo • HD

The chair’s crisp edges along its cross rails, legs, and stiles, together with its precise interfaces among components, called for a high degree of precision.

California office chair • Leo

What appears to be a normal, everyday office chair, plucked from the glass and steel confines of a typical high-tech office in sunny California, serves as a fine example of capturing modern furniture with Artec Leo.

Goddess of Mercy statue • Ray

A well-visited statue commemorating Guanyin, Goddess of Mercy was scheduled to be moved from its home in Shenzhen, China, and it needed to be preserved in case it was destroyed, damaged, or forgotten.

Doom combat scene • Combo

The craftsman who created this feast for the eyes definitely put a great deal of effort into their work. So did Artec Space Spider and Eva, the two handheld 3D scanners which were used to capture everything down to the finest features of this geometry-rich object in order to make the 3D model look as impressive as the original work of art, inspired by Doom, the epic shooter.

Troll • Leo

This ordinary office Troll was scanned with an Artec Leo 3D scanner. In exchange for the promise of some meaty morsels, the troll agreed to pose for the scanning by leaning on a chair that was later removed during post-processing in Artec Studio.

Lion statue • Leo

This lion is one of two nearly identical bronze animals prowling alongside the steps of a town hall. Mounted on a pedestal, it was a bit hard to reach, but not for Leo — its namesake!

Crocodile Statue • Leo

Part of an outdoor fountain basin, this 3D model of a croc was created with the Artec Leo 3D scanner and the powerful Artec Studio software.

Fountain Basin • Leo

Leo was able to scan this fountain’s 7-meter basin in just under fifty minutes, with no need for additional preparation or the use of extra features to improve the scanner’s tracking.

Copper key • Micro

A copper key scanned with Artec Micro. The key had to be sprayed due to its reflective surface.

Leather bag • Space Spider

This highly precise 3D model of a mid-size leather bag was made using 3D data from an Artec Space Spider and photogrammetry, with over 450 pictures taken during a period of 15 minutes.

Sneaker • Space Spider

This highly precise 3D model of a sneaker was made using 3D data from an Artec Space Spider and photogrammetry, with over 300 pictures taken during a period of 15 minutes.

Statue Dragonfly tamer • Eva

A bronze statue of a fairytale boy taming a giant dragonfly, made by famous sculptor Katib Mamedov. Dragonfly wings were a challenge since there was little surface on them, and no background to make it easier.

Classic side table • Eva

A small bedside table, quickly scanned by Artec Eva in three scans. The thin legs might have been a challenge if they had not been scanned in front of a background (the wall and floor). Otherwise, a very easy to scan piece of furniture.

Dragon and phoenix statuette • Space Spider

A beautiful statuette made out of bronze, depicting two mythological creatures that symbolize divine powers in ancient China — a dragon and a phoenix, and between them a huge pearl.

Cog fidget spinner with carvings • Space Spider

A metallic fidget spinner in a shape of a cog with two different carving patterns on each side — a Celtic runes pattern and compass markings.

Wooden Box • Combo

This mahogany tissue box holder proved to be an excellent scanning object due to its unique geometry.

Chandelier • Space Spider

This chandelier has fantastic geometry and good original texture for smooth tracking.

Coins • Space Spider

These coins were scanned on a leaflet featuring printed text to make it easy to capture the edges.

Classic chair • Eva

An elegant upholstered chair. A fairly complicated object to scan — the polished black wood and the thin back and arms required a special approach.
