01 Problem
Problem
The sculpture existed as a large physical work. The digital version needed to carry its scale and material personality without becoming a flat scan.
02 Approach
Approach
We used photogrammetry as a base, then remodeled and retextured the character using scan material for surface detail. The digital version received walk, look-around, and shooting animations.
03 Outcome
Outcome
- A three-to-four-metre physical sculpture became a web and AR object.
- The work can be tried from a website embed and placed in AR.
- A droid-inspired variant extended the character world.
- HI-GH was also part of Virtual Art House.
