Client Feature: Sabry Macher’s 3Dfy.me Revolutionizes Digital Capture with XangleCS
We take pride in powering the world's most ambitious photogrammetry setups. One of our standout clients is Sabry Macher, Director of 3Dfy.me, a leading 3D digital capturing and modeling studio based in New Zealand. Sabry and his team are not just creating models; they are transforming real-world moments into high-quality digital and physical assets.Introducing the 3Dfy.me Capture Rig: Power in Volume
The foundation of 3Dfy.me's operation is a colossal, custom-built photogrammetry rig: a technical marvel that sets them apart.
- Location: New Zealand
- Scale: The rig boasts a massive array of up to 155 cameras. This volume of capture points is critical for ensuring a complete, high-resolution mesh with maximum detail coverage in a single, instantaneous capture.
- Core Specs: The entire array is managed by XangleCS, with the Xangle Server running on a powerful Windows PC that orchestrates the simultaneous, synched firing of every camera. The camera hardware is built around Raspberry Pi client boards.
The Arducam Advantage: Why High-Volume Demands High-Quality
Sabry’s choice of camera modules reflects his uncompromising standards for quality. His team required a high-volume, high-fidelity solution to produce the best possible assets for their clients.
Sabry transitioned the entire 155-camera array to the Arducam IMX519 16MP sensor. This choice was driven by the sensor's superior reliability and image clarity at scale. In fact, upon integrating the new Arducam sensors with XangleCS, his immediate reaction was "AMAZING," highlighting the significant leap in performance and stability the chosen hardware provided. Sabry’s preference for Arducam is simple: they deliver the reliable, high-quality image capture necessary to meet the demands of his enterprise-level scanning service.Beyond the Scan: What Makes 3Dfy.me Special
3Dfy.me is revolutionizing the 3D capture space by focusing on more than just static models. Their service is an end-to-end solution for:
- Full-Body Digital Avatars: Creating highly realistic and high-resolution digital representations of individuals.
- The 'Mini-Me': Producing stunning 3D-printed miniatures with incredible detail, often called a 'mini-me,' allowing people to hold a physical representation of a captured moment.
- Dynamic Lifestyle Captures: Moving beyond simple poses, they specialize in capturing complex, dynamic 'lifestyle' moments, such as a martial artist in mid-pose or a person holding their pet.
- Professional Assets: Providing high-quality digital assets for commercial use in games, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and animation, where realism and fine detail are paramount.
By combining the robustness and instantaneous capture synchronization of XangleCS with the superior clarity of the Arducam sensors, Sabry Macher and 3Dfy.me offer a scanning experience that is fast, user-friendly, and results in versatile, high-fidelity 3D assets for any application.
