Why we’re different

About

Infinite Realities® is the 3D scanning service provided by Lee Perry-Smith, the leading 3D modelling and Scanning specialist based in Suffolk, UK.

Infinite Realities® Director Lee Perry-Smith is an award-winning artist with a lifelong passion for capturing and imaging the human form. Completely self-taught, he began drawing at a young age, and received his first paid commission at 12. He has over fifteen years’ experience in computer graphics and has worked in-house for a number of leading Computer Games Developers and Visual Effects Studios, focusing on the creation of realistic human models. He founded Infinite Realities® in 2007.

In-house Processing

3D human modelling is technology-based. But technology isn’t the whole story. In fact, modelling people is more of an art than a science. It takes talent and skill, as well as the technical ability to operate cameras or computers. Machines capture the raw digital assets, but it takes intelligence and judgement to transform them into a 3D character that people will accept as ‘real’. Our expertise is rooted in decades of experience of creating human models in a highly refined, disciplined manner, for commercial projects and discriminating clients.

Artistic Background

IR understands the art and attention that goes into creating a truly realistic model that can be used in any situation, with any lighting. And we’re committed to bringing the highest possible standards to each and every model we create. That’s why we can outperform studios employing entire teams of technicians, as we are character artists, delivering realistic, usable models with unbeatable turnaround time.

What We Do

3D Digital Art

In simple terms, we can scan any human being and replicate them in three dimensions as data held in a computer. Our scanning process picks up every detail of their eyes, face, hair, skin colour, body shape and distinguishing features – everything that makes them who they are.
