I had the awesome experience of getting 3d scanned at Otoy hq in LA last month using their crazy lightstage scanning technology. I used wrap3d and transferred the scan to a rig so it is all ready for facial mocap. The quality of their scans is next level. Pumped to have a fully rigged version of myself with all the reallusion morph sliders. Currently making a small army of variations.
