Props
Object and material reference
Digitize practical objects, costume details, set dressing, and surface references.
Abound 3D for 3D & VFX
3D scanning for 3D and VFX teams
Abound helps VFX artists and real-time teams capture real-world props, people, and locations for browser review and downstream DCC or game-pipeline handoff.
Used across creative, production, and real-time workflows
Capture reference while production is moving
Sets
Location context
Preserve scout, stage, and location context for teams that cannot stay on site.
Pipelines
Review before export
Let artists and supervisors inspect captures in the browser before deeper DCC work.
How it works
1
Capture during scout or shoot
Scan props, costumes, sets, vehicles, or locations while the team has access to the physical source.
2
Review with the team
Share browser-viewable captures with modeling, texture, previs, look-dev, and supervision stakeholders.
3
Export for pipeline work
Hand off files when a downstream DCC, game, rendering, or real-time visualization workflow needs the asset.
Use cases
On-set reference capture
Scan sets, props, and costumes during scouting or shoot days so departments can review useful reference without waiting for reshoots.
Environment and set extension
Capture locations and textures for matchmove, layout, and look-dev when building digital environments or extending practical sets.
Asset library operations
Organize scans by show, shot, and sequence with version history so modeling, texturing, and previs teams always pull the right asset.
Example scans
Public scans such as sculptural props, creature references, and location objects show the kind of real-world detail teams can preserve for production review.
T-Rex sand sculpture
Sculptural form and surface detail captured for creative reference.

A practical model scan that shows prop-scale inspection in the browser.

Detailed statue capture for form, texture, and look-development reference.
View scanOlympian statue
Public sculpture scan suited to anatomy, pose, and material review.
View scanProduction workflow details
Prop and costume reference
Capture real objects and materials so artists can revisit form, scale, texture, and wear without waiting on physical access.
Location and set context
Use Gaussian splats, photo scans, or LiDAR captures to preserve stage and location context for remote production teams.
Asset library operations
Organize captures by project, show, location, shot, or sequence so teams can find approved reference quickly.
DCC and real-time handoff
Use browser review for fast decisions, then export when modeling, texturing, game, or visualization work needs files.
Outcomes
Quicker reference capture
Less missing source context
Better set continuity
Browser-based review
Export-oriented handoff
Questions teams ask
How can VFX and 3D teams use Abound scans?
Teams can use Abound scans for prop reference, environment context, look-dev reference, previs assets, real-time experiments, and shared asset libraries.
Which capture workflow fits VFX work best?
Photo Scan is useful for textured object assets and reference. Gaussian Splatting is useful for photoreal scene context and fast immersive viewing. LiDAR Scan can help with scale-aware spaces.
Can scans move into DCC or game workflows?
Abound can support export-oriented workflows, so teams can review captures in the browser first and then hand off files when downstream tools need them.
Is every Abound scan final-shot ready?
No. Shot-ready quality depends on capture coverage, project requirements, cleanup, retopology, texturing, and downstream pipeline work. Abound is strongest as a fast capture, review, and handoff layer.
