Creating high-quality 3D face scans is a tough process requiring expensive equipment and technical knowledge. However, it doesn’t have to be this hard: Copresence offers photorealistic 3D scans for free for a limited time. The best part is you can achieve amazing results with just your smartphone in only five minutes.
Advancing 3D Scanning Technology
Copresence spent years on research and development to finally introduce their tool that lets you produce high-fidelity digital human scans using only a phone. The resulting 3D head scans are textured, fully rigged, and include strand-based hair; it’s an essential asset for game developers and 3D artists.
You can use this face scan app to scan people and either download the assets in popular formats – such as Blender, GLTF, Metahuman, and Alembic for hair – or work with the Copresence team to integrate the technology directly into your games, applications, and character systems. This allows players to scan themselves and play as their own digital avatars.
How It Works
You can scan yourself using the Copresence iPhone app easily, thanks to its straightforward processes. When completed, the scan is turned into a fully rigged 3D model that includes detailed textures, a rig, blendshapes, and hair strands.
Each scan includes:
- Production-ready mesh topology and UV map, consistent across all head scans
- FACS blendshapes, compatible with iOS ARKit and Meta Movement SDK
- Rig for neck and eye movement
- Multiple texture maps, including diffuse, specular, cavity, normal, and subsurface
- Personalized strand-based hairstyle
- Available in multiple formats, including Blender, GLTF, MetaHuman, and Alembic for hair
Integration with MetaHuman
Looking to create a MetaHuman version of yourself? Copresence offers a streamlined workflow:
- Scan yourself: Download the Copresence app from the App Store, create an account, and follow the guided scanning instructions.
- Download your scan: Access your 3D model from the Copresence platform.
- Import into Unreal Engine: Use the Copresence MetaHuman plugin for seamless integration.
A Game-Changer for 3D Content Creation
The ability to generate realistic 3D human models with a phone that Copresence offers opens new opportunities for digital content creators. You can now bypass the traditional barriers of expensive photogrammetry studios, software, and manual clean-up, making high-quality 3D avatar generation and 3D character creation more accessible than ever.
If you are eager to explore this technology, Copresence is currently offering free trials. Visit Copresence’s website or download the app from the App Store to get started.
