Example of use

The 3D model is created using the photogrammetric technique, which stitches together images taken from all angles to create a 3D model that looks exactly like the real thing.

We offer a plan that allows up to 10 3D models to be created per order, with the quantity available increasing with the price.

A maximum of 100 3D models can be created as a memento of the event.

The completed 3D model will be delivered on a DVD with all the data.

What is photogrammetry?

Photogrammetry is a method of creating a 3D model by cutting out images from a photograph.

Usually, it takes several hundred photographs to create a 3D model that is close to the appearance of the real thing.

The "Memories 3D Album" minimizes the burden on the user by using video recording to cut out the images, which greatly reduces the time and effort required to take hundreds of photos.

◆Planner's Thoughts

The idea for this album came from the fact that our representative's child was about to enter junior high school, and she was having trouble disposing of her first shoes, favorite toys, and craft works she had made in kindergarten and elementary school that she had kept without throwing them away.

She couldn't make up her mind to throw them away, but it was also difficult to sort through them. Being faced with the ultimate choice in the midst of a busy day-to-day life can be stressful.

We wondered if we could solve this stress by using 3D modeling technology handled by ColorChips, and the "Memories 3D Album" was born.

How is "Memories 3D Album" different from ordinary albums?

Memories 3D Album" is an album that allows you to enjoy 3D model images reproduced with realistic texture on your TV or PC at home.

The album does not use a gimmick to showcase the memories, but rather allows you to look back at them from all angles except the bottom, giving them a more realistic texture than photographs or videos.

The greatest appeal of this service is that by leaving each memento as an individual item, it is possible to preserve "memories that only parents can taste," which is exactly one of the reasons why it is difficult to clean up, such as scratches from moving around a lot and the marks of efforts made by small hands that must have been made with a lot of hard work.
