How We Cleanup a 3D Scan

Despite having a robust universal pipeline, we thoroughly plan our workflow for each project to customize some aspects whenever necessary to deliver the best result for our clients.

Preparation

For 3D scans: Once we receive your raw 3D scans and discuss the required final result, we dive into analyzing them as well as planning the upcoming work. For photogrammetry: When we get the photos of an object, our experts discuss all the details and generate a raw 3D scan out of them using specific software.

Geometry optimization

In this phase, our artists clean the geometry of a scanned object to make it smooth, removing unnecessary curves and bulges.

3D mesh retopology

Depending on the purpose of a scan cleanup, we carry out either manual or automated mesh retopology to unwrap the model correctly.

UV mapping & texturing

Afterward, the 3D-Ace team proceeds to UV map unwrapping and texturing your model or fixing the automatically generated texture.

Delivery & additional service

When your model is finished, we can either deliver its polished version or optimize it for animation and integration into a game engine.

Our Business Models

Fixed Price

You set the budget, we stick to it. The full scope, requirements, terms, and specifications are agreed upon before the start of the project and can’t be changed later.

Time & Material

This flexible model calculates cost based on time and material spent, leaving room for changes to the budget and scope of the project over time.

Dedicated Team

A complete team (or a single expert from our staff) joins your existing specialists on the project. This team stays under your management and can be scaled up/down over time.

FAQ

Do you provide 3D scanning services?

The 3D-Ace team works only with already-made 3D scans or quality photos of an object you want to be turned into a clean model. We specialize 3D scan cleaning up, transforming your raw files into perfectly optimized and textured 3D models with a reasonable polygon count as well as improved retopology.

Is there any price range to get a 3D scan cleanup service?

As a rule, the cost of a 3D scanning service may vary from $50 to $1000+, depending on the level and intensity of work that needs to be done. For example, a 3D model clean up of an object with a pretty straightforward geometric shape can cost about $100, whereas a monumental sculpture with intricate and complex design is likely to be priced at tens of hundreds of dollars or even more.

How long will it take to clean up one 3D scan?

As always, everything depends on the level of detail, polygon count, geometry, and scale. In addition, the final time frame required to complete a 3D scan cleanup will also be affected by its purpose. If you, say, need to clean up a scan of a pair of sneakers, the amount of time required will vary between 8 and 10 hours. In turn, if it’s a raw 3D scan of a character who has to be subsequently animated, it may take more than 40 hours, depending on the complexity and intricacy of a target model.

Do you provide retopology services?

Yes, retopology is an integral part of our pipeline, inasmuch as raw 3D scanned meshes are likely to have sporadic geometry as well as billions of unnecessary polygons and data. In order to clean up a 3D scan and get a perfectly optimized, good-looking model, you definitely need to make use of retopology.

Do you provide photogrammetry cleanup services?

Primarily, we provide services that include the cleanup of raw 3D scans of different objects or creatures for various purposes. If you want them cleaned for a video game, commercial, teaser, cinematic, or a retail store website – consider it already done according to the world-class practices. Besides, we can do the same magic based not only on the already-made raw 3D scans but also on the provided quality photos of an object you need to be turned into a clean 3D model. Equipped with high-end software, we are able to cover your back with both scan and photogrammetry cleanup services.

What's the difference between scan cleanup and photogrammetry cleanup?

Well, a raw scan can come without a texture on it, so our workflow will also involve adding one to your scanned object and editing its appearance until it’s perfect. The primary difference between the two types of cleanups consists in the scale of work that needs to be done. It’s easier, cost-efficient, and less time-consuming to work with raw 3D scans instead of creating them out of a multitude of photos and only then switching to Zbrush, Maya, and Substance Painter to clean all the automatically rendered mess.
