Shapify Booth 3D body scanner: How it works

The core of the Shapify technology is the booth’s four wide-view high-resolution 3D scanners and automatic post-processing software. The scanners make a full circle around a person to capture the shape of their body from all angles. Getting precise measurements of the body makes it possible to replicate even the smallest details from the person’s posture to the creases in their clothes.

The scans captured in the booth are then automatically aligned, fused and turned into a watertight digital 3D replica of the person, ready for 3D printing. The full-color 3D portrait, or shapie, can be used in a variety of applications, from creating a timeless keepsake – a 3D printed figurine, to collecting body measurement data, opening up new opportunities for technological advances in fields such as medicine, dietology and fashion.

Got a question about Artec Shapify Booth?

How many people can Artec Shapify Booth scan in an hour?

Scanning a person, or a couple, in the Shapify Booth takes just 12 seconds, and within 1-2 minutes the next person can be scanned. This means that in an hour, Artec Shapify can scan about 20-25 people. If the person scanned wants to see the preview of their model first, the process will take a little longer (around 5 minutes for preview) and as a result, you can scan up to 10 people in an hour.

This option is great when you need to scan a large number of people for research purposes, but in other cases, we recommend checking out the Artec Leo as a solution for scanning people.

How accurate is the 3D body scanner?

Artec Shapify Booth captures 3D models with up to 400K polygons.

Which scanner should I choose for scanning people: Artec Leo or Artec Shapify booth?

The answer to this question depends on how often and how many people you need to scan. If you need to scan a few hundred people in one day for an event or for research, the Artec Shapify booth will be the best option. If you need a scanner to scan a few dozen people or less, then Artec Leo is the preferred option.

Portrait Mode

The built-in Hair Mode portrait mode and the eye safety of the device allow it to be used for highly efficient and convenient digital face and head modeling. Thus, the most accurate data is transmitted to the user.

Usage examples

Consider the possible applications of Shining 3D Einstar and examples of the obtained 3D scans.

Device applications

The capabilities of the Einstar 3D scanner, such as obtaining models of different formats, as well as compatibility with 3D printers and design software, allow it to be used in a variety of areas, for example:

  • obtaining digitized objects for 3D printing;
  • archiving of digital 3D models;
  • educational use;
  • obtaining copies of works of art, use in the field of culture, in museum work;
  • for virtual reality design; nine0024
  • obtaining augmented reality models.

Virtual reality human model

Artist Will Huff runs his own robotics company, Robomotics, and is also involved in the film industry. Both areas of his activity are associated with the need to obtain digital 3D models.

One of the clearest examples of obtaining 3D digital copies is 3D scanning of a person. Such a model can be used to design a 3D avatar and use it in virtual reality, with the ability to control, program to perform certain actions, etc.

At the first stage, the head was scanned, then a 3D copy of the torso was taken, after which the resulting 3D scans were imported into Zbrush to prepare them for use in Unreal Engine. Will Huff then loaded the models into UE 5 and launched the Metahuman Identity plugin, which allows you to recognize the key points of an object, such as eyes or lips.

After checking the correct correlation of the guides with the topology of the digital 3D object, it is finalized in the Metahuman Creator program. The final touches are applied, the model acquires individual characteristics: a hairstyle is created, makeup and clothes are selected, gait, movements, facial expression are modeled. At the final stage, the finished object is exported back to Unreal Engine for subsequent use in virtual reality. nine0003

According to Will Huff himself, the Einstar is a great addition to the SHINING 3D product line. This is a full-featured 3D scanner that is suitable for a wide range of applications and allows you to get detailed, high-precision digital models. The capabilities of the EXStar software, which allows processing groups of point clouds, also expand the functionality of the device.

Fantasy 3D Models

Artist Ken Coleman digitally designs fantasy 3D models based on 3D scans of everyday objects as well as people and figurines. Ken is inspired by 80s fantasy, surrealist paintings and fantasy art. nine0003

Using an Einstar 3D scanner, complete with a turntable from EinScan-SE, the artist gets models of armor and toy weapons. Ken Coleman also uses the device to scan objects specially created by hand or found somewhere, and then replenishes his digital database with them, which allows him to later use them to model fantasy scenes.

The artist says that the EinStar scanner, complete with a turntable, is enough to scan large models, such as spaceships or fantasy castles. You can also scan people to obtain digital models and their further use in the works. All 3D objects can be added to the digital database and used in development. The device is well suited for obtaining digital copies of sculptures, as well as other art objects. nine0003

Taking human scans

Content creator David Miao is well known in the fields of 3D printing and woodworking. Over the past years, he has been studying new developments and sharing his findings with the professional community.

David used digital scanning technology to obtain models of objects that are difficult to design by hand, and digitized and archived things he considered important to preserve. He developed and launched the Maker Scan Project, an open source project that allows anyone to download the 3D models available there for free and without any restrictions. nine0003

David focuses on one of the problems of 3D scanning of people - the naturalistic digitization of hair, the ability of devices to detail them and convey the natural shape. As for the Einstar scanner, according to David, the device does an excellent job of capturing hairstyles, hair and their detail.

Custom costume measuring

3D scanning and 3D printing specialist Will Co. co-founded CoKreeate and Replikeate3D, among other things he creates custom costumes and Halloween clothing using digital 3D technologies. nine0003

According to Will, Einstar is great for scanning people. The specialist recommends that you first of all pay attention to this particular device if you are just going to start creating digital 3D models and do not know which scanner and software are best suited for this.

Summary

From the above, the Shining 3D Einstar scanner is great for a variety of users, from amateurs to professionals, and provides excellent scanning results. It is an ergonomic and compact portable device that can be used in a wide range of environments, including outdoors. Convenient and intuitive software is suitable for both beginners and pros. nine0003

Shining 3D Einstar is a great choice for someone who wants to start their 3D modeling journey.
