HUMAN SCAN INSTRUCTIONS
BE AWARE
Before starting shooting, you need to have carefully read the
1. OPERATOR & ACTOR
It takes 2 people to shoot for the Human Scan service.
2. SQUARE METERS
For full-length in-person shooting, you need 4 x 4 meters of free space.
3. TIMING
The time required to perform a HUMAN SCAN shot is approximately 3 minutes.
4. POSE
-
Posture and expression must remain unchanged for the entire duration of the shooting,
-
Assume a neutral expression: vice versa it would be difficult to keep it unchanged for 60 '', thus invalidating the creation of the model.
5a. HUMAN SCAN > FOR ANIMATION
Assume the A-Pose position, with legs and arms naturally open, head parallel to the floor, and fingers spread.
Warning: the posture in A-Pose is used to animate the avatar and not tight clothing limits the movements of the model.
Depending on the intended use of the model, it may be appropriate to wear overalls or underwear.
5b. HUMAN SCAN > STATIC POSE
The posture is free and can be, for example, with arms folded or with legs crossed and or of any other type.
In any case it is necessary to remember that:
-
Depending on the location it may be difficult to remain still,
-
What is not framed during the video is not present in the model,
-
Very close surfaces are welded together; for example, legs not spread apart involve a mesh with a single volume of the legs and in the event of any subsequent modeling interventions it will be more complex to separate them.
Where a posture is difficult to maintain or assume, you can purchase the HUMAN SCAN FOR SPECIAL POSE service.
6. GUIDELINES FOR THE OPERATOR
Before shooting, remember that:
-
It is very useful to make a test video to compare with the DEMO SHOOTING - HUMAN SCAN video ;
-
Fast camera movements create blur effects, so it is important to move around the subject slowly;
-
Never use the zoom to simulate an approach, you need to physically move to get closer and further away;
-
Use the grid to keep the frame of the subject aligned with what is foreseen in the SHOOTING STEP BY STEP.
7. SHOOTING STEP BY STEP
Although the video is only one, the shooting for the HUMAN SCAN is made up of 6 phases; pay attention to what must be framed at the beginning and end of each phase so that the video contains all the points of view necessary for the scan of the model.
