3DShot for NYAA: Brooke Shields project
Cappasity and New York Academy of Art have been partnering for several years to implement innovative technologies into the students’ education. This time, Cappasity’s 3DShot app was used for digitizing American actress Brooke Shields in 3D and sculpting her portrait based on her digital twin.
“We’re always looking to implement new emerging technology to better prepare students for the ever-evolving art world,” comments Peter Drake, NYAA Provost. “The New York Academy of Art was the first school to access Cappasity, and we shared its capabilities with our sculpture students and faculty. It’s just amazing to see how our students master this innovative technology and find new smart uses for it. I’m impressed with how effortlessly Irina created a digital twin of Brooke Shields with the help of Cappasity’s 3DShot app. This is a great example of how immersive technologies can benefit a creator.”
“With the 3DShot app, the creation of a 3D visual gets as easy than ever before — all you need is a smartphone camera and you can digitize anything in 3D. Irina’s idea is genuinely brilliant — it took her a couple of minutes to create Brooke’s digital twin with our app, which saved the actress a lot of time. What’s more, our proprietary 3D View format is fully interactive and perfectly fits sculptors’ needs, allowing them to look at the model from any angle and see all tiny details necessary for sculpting from life. We’re pleased that NYAA students and alumni find our solution helpful and use it to make the process of creating an art piece more efficient,” comments Elina Minina, Cappasity CBDO and co-founder.
