Custom-made life-like 3D Photo Figurines of Yourself by TWINKIND

Have you ever wondered how cool its is to stand right next to your priced diecast model in your diorama! I feel I would fit really good next to the AUTOart CCX or the Hotwheels Ferrari 599 GTO or even the Minichamps Mercedes Benz SLS AMG… Sometimes back I thought of doing a perception photography to achieve this in post but seems like you can get this done without much of an effort!! A German company name TWINKIND creates some high quality photo figurines by using state of art 3D scanning and printing technology. The true-to-life miniature is stunningly detailed figurines that you can hold in your hands.

The process is simple yet very effective both in terms of capturing and printing… The process starts with a scanning schedule with them where you have to visit their studio, then your entire body is scanned using multi-camera system based on photogrammetry principles, which guarantees no harm to your body… then the captured data is processed for detailing and finally the figurine is printed using state-of-the-art color 3D printing technology.

  • At this point folks at TWINKIND can make photo figurine of your self in 9 different scale starting from 1:24(around 7.5cms) scale and goes all the way upto 1:5(around 35cms) scale, which is their largest! Pricing is also reasonable, starting at €190 for 1:18 scale considering the kind of details it comes with. If your group size is more than 3 then you can also get some discount.
  • If you pour in some more cash then you can add details like high gloss shoes, fine textiles and even add a six pack as per your desire.

As with every other technology this too comes at a compromise! The fine details like the open fingers and accessories has to be thickened otherwise they end up a making no sense as they are only a milimeter!! Even the dress material has its limitation as the system might gets confused with high gloss or transparent materials etc. The biggest limitation as per me is the scanning process, which can only be done in their studio in Berlin, Germany. So if I am not in Germany there is no way I can get this done!!! Let wait and see if this technology/service evolves and reaches our part of the world too.
