We begin by mining museum archives, private collections and specialist libraries for every sketch, photograph and technical note related to the artefact. Historians verify provenance and cross-reference sources to build a fact-checked dossier.
High-resolution microscopy, spectroscopy and X-ray imaging reveal alloys, enamel layers and mechanical tolerances. This data ensures the digital model remains faithful to the original craft.
We integrate the asset into museum kiosks, brand activations or blockchain marketplaces, then provide lifetime versioning and analytics on viewer engagement.
Result: an academically validated, fully animated digital artefact that preserves cultural heritage, inspires audiences and opens new revenue streams for its custodians.
Photoreal Texturing & Lighting
We sample real-world pigments, metal finishes and patinas, bake PBR texture sets and light the model in a calibrated HDRI studio so colours and refractions read accurately on any display.
Using the research dossier as a blueprint, our artists block out primary geometry in CAD, then refine surface detail in Z-brush and Houdini. Parametric rigs replicate hinges, cams and springs exactly as they functioned in the physical piece.
A multidisciplinary panel—art historians, conservators and mechanical engineers—tests every iteration against archival evidence. Discrepancies trigger corrective sprints until consensus is reached.
