This is the reason why we scan a 16-bit normal map.

Is it true that we wash the materials before scanning?
Yes, unless the materials are delivered in an unopened new box or if you want to keep the dirt for visual effect.
You can see how dirt and dust are visible on the gloss map. The top image is unwashed material, the second is wiped with a damp cloth, the bottom is washed with special chemicals and wiped with microfiber using microfiber gloves.
If the material is not washed, all the dirt and stains will be visible, as shown in the attached render. (We do not remove scratches, they will remain.)

Three different maps from the same material.
That's why the materials can only be scanned, the maps have almost nothing in common with each other, so they can't be predicted or calculated in any other way

Great project created for Mako Construction Inc. showing a comparison between our real time 3D rendering and the photos taken by the realtor.

5 reasons why a good 3D scan improves sales on Walmart and Amazon.

1. One realistic 3D model replaces at least 6 photographs, since the 3D model can be freely viewed from all sides and zoomed in.

2. If a product has several configurations or colors, all of them can be selected and looked at in one 3D model.

3. Augmented reality allows you to see the dimensions and design of a product in the place where it will be used through the camera of the user’s phone, for example, furniture in the user’s interior, shoes on his feet, a TV on the wall, plants in the buyer’s garden, etc.

4. With precise scanning, the PBR model conveys the properties of materials, gloss, metallicity, fine relief and other properties under different lighting and at different angles.

5. The 3D model can be used to render images and animations of the product on the Amazon product page and in other services.

Using our proprietary technology, we will scan your product as realistically as possible with most Visual Physical Properties (PBRs) including gloss, metallicity and fine detail.
