## Industries

- [Film, TV & Gaming](https://newyorkcapture.com/industries/film-tv-gaming): We provide 3D scanning for VFX pipelines, from full-body talent scans in our Brooklyn studio to on-location set and environment capture. Our data has shipped in major studio productions, independent films, streaming series, and AAA game titles.
- [Fashion & Retail](https://newyorkcapture.com/industries/fashion): Full-body and garment scanning for virtual try-on, digital lookbooks, and e-commerce 3D product visualization. We capture fit models, individual garments, shoes, and accessories at whatever resolution the downstream pipeline requires.
- [Museums & Cultural Heritage](https://newyorkcapture.com/industries/museums): High-fidelity 3D digitization of artifacts, sculptures, architectural details, and exhibition spaces for preservation, research, and public access.
- [Architecture & Real Estate](https://newyorkcapture.com/industries/architecture): LiDAR and photogrammetry capture of buildings, interiors, construction sites, and landscapes for BIM workflows, as-built documentation, and project visualization.
- [Visual Art & Sculpture](https://newyorkcapture.com/industries/art): 3D capture of sculptures, installations, and mixed-media work for archival, reproduction, and digital exhibition. We work with artists, fabricators, foundries, and galleries.
- [Product Design & Manufacturing](https://newyorkcapture.com/industries/product): Precision 3D scanning for quality inspection, reverse engineering, and design iteration. We capture physical parts and prototypes so engineering teams can work with accurate geometry in their CAD environment.

## Blog

- [Scanning a Vintage Moog Liberation for a Custom Flight Case](https://newyorkcapture.com/blog/moog-liberation-flight-case.md): A musician needed a flight case for his rare Moog Liberation. The glossy black surface defeated our structured light scanner, so we switched to blue laser scanning and got a clean model without any surface treatment.
- [What Resolution Do You Need?](https://newyorkcapture.com/blog/resolution.md): Every 3D scanner handles resolution differently. Some have a dial. Some are fixed by the hardware. Some are controlled by how far away you stand or how high you fly.
- [A Short History of Photogrammetry Markers](https://newyorkcapture.com/blog/short-history-of-photogrammetry-markers.md): The first markers I ever bought came from Cultural Heritage Imaging. Over time I realized markers are one of the simplest parts of the process, and one of the most important. They're the piece that lets a camera do measurement work instead of only making pictures.
