3D LiDAR Scanning Studio
Transform Complex Environments and Objects into Accurate 3D Models
At Gentle Giant Studios, we leverage cutting-edge “Light Detection and Ranging” (LiDAR) technology to deliver precise digital models for virtually unlimited options. Whether you need a perfectly accurate and detailed model of an airport or a natural landscape, our 3D LiDAR scanning services allow you to replicate these images with unparalleled accuracy and scalability.
Our LiDAR scanning services can be used for a wide range of applications, from creating 3D models for CGI to use in visual effects for film or video games, to documenting historical sites and artifacts for cultural heritage preservation. The possibilities are endless!

Key Benefits of LiDAR
Long-Range Capability
Scan target distance can range up to 350 meters from each camera position at max resolution.
Complete & Perfect Perspective
When your crew creates a scene and it’s critical to get every detail perfect for multiple cuts, LiDAR can capture the entirety of the environment’s moment — from any perspective without missing the smallest details.
Non-Invasive, Non-Disruptive
LiDAR technology is silent and invisible. Scans can be done at any time of day or night, allowing us to work around your shooting schedule.
Target Environments for LiDAR
Speed of Capture
Faster than a speeding bullet… The LiDAR instrument fires rapid pulses of laser light at a surface, some at up to 150,000 pulses per second. A sensor on the instrument measures the amount of time it takes for each pulse to bounce back. This makes LiDAR ideal for building models of large sets in shorter time than other methods.
Complete & Perfect Perspective
When your crew creates a scene and it’s critical to get every detail perfect for multiple cuts, LiDAR can capture the entirety of the environment’s moment from a consistent perspective without missing any of the small details.
Expert Physics Simulation
We analyze and capture real-world environments for VFX to 3D model for the CGI world. We capture with the highest of fidelity, so that you can create! Often our Hybrid Hand-held Photogrammetry is combined to help bring the full location to life.
“Gentle Giant did some wonderful maquettes for THE INCREDIBLES taken directly from our animators’ digital poses, and they retained all the individual attitudes that we worked so hard to realize in our characters. Being able to touch something that was formerly only digital information, to have our characters go out into the world exactly the way we intended them to, is immensely satisfying.”
