Bolofest 2020 Virtual Parade

Liverpool - Disney, Hotwheels, Barbie

For the 2020 edition of Liverpool’s Bolofest, Lumia Studio was tasked with digitizing physical toys to be featured in a massive virtual parade. Working alongside a talented multi-studio pipeline, we specialized in the 3D scanning, retopology, and texture optimization required to turn real-world toys into broadcast-ready digital assets.

Digitizing Beloved Brands

Handling highly recognizable IP from Disney, Hot Wheels, and Barbie requires strict attention to detail to ensure the digital counterparts perfectly match the physical toys. Our team processed massive amounts of photogrammetry data across diverse materials—from the glossy metallic paints of the Hot Wheels fleet to the soft fabrics and plastics of the Disney and Barbie assets.

Technical Challenges & Grooming

One of the most significant challenges in toy photogrammetry is dealing with complex, translucent, or fine materials—especially doll hair, which raw scans often misinterpret as a solid, noisy mass. To achieve a realistic, high-quality look, we stripped away the artifacted geometry and meticulously rebuilt the grooming. By transitioning from base proxy meshes to fully reconstructed hair systems, we ensured characters like Moana maintained their signature silhouettes.

The Cleanup Pipeline

The journey from an initial capture to a production-ready asset is a rigorous process. This progression showcases our internal cleanup pipeline. We start with the dense, artifact-heavy raw photogrammetry mesh, perform manual retopology and cleanup to reconstruct missing data, and finally re-project the high-resolution textures to bring the character back to life.

Animation-Ready Assets

The ultimate goal of our pipeline was to deliver lightweight, highly optimized 3D models. By finalizing clean mesh topology and baking efficient textures, we ensured that the assets we handed off to the animation teams were highly detailed, yet light enough to perform seamlessly in complex, crowded scene files without causing render bottlenecks.

Final Result: Bringing the Parade to Life

The final broadcast animation, directed by Reality Kraft and animated by Zebra Studio, brought the entire virtual event together. This breakdown highlights our technical contribution to the project, showcasing how Lumia Studio's meticulously cleaned photogrammetry assets were successfully integrated into the final, high-energy parade.

Emporium Hotel SouthBank Campaign

Emporium Hotels | Australia

Delivering high-end post-production for the Emporium Hotel SouthBank campaign required an extensive, meticulous workflow to capture the venue's vibrant luxury. The process involved seamlessly integrating complex multi-plate composites—some built from up to 20 separately lit photographs—alongside dramatic environmental relighting. With rigorous clean-up, targeted dodge and burn, and a dynamic color grade, we unified these elements into a flawless, sophisticated commercial finish.

The Lobby: Hero Image Composite

The main Lobby stands as the centerpiece of the campaign. This highly complex composite was meticulously constructed from approximately 20 individual photographs. With the walls, floor, ceiling, reception counter, and each individual talent lit and captured in separate plates, the primary challenge was seamlessly integrating them into a unified space. The extensive post-production process required intricate masking to extract fine details like flyaway hairs and reflective surfaces. Once assembled, targeted dodge and burn techniques were applied to every subject and object, finishing with a cohesive color grade and atmospheric glows to lock the 20 distinct frames into one flawless, vibrant reality.

Parkland's Kitchen & Pool

The visual narrative continues through Parkland's Kitchen and the Pool, focusing on the lively and sophisticated energy of the hotel's spaces. Achieving this polished commercial look across the suite required meticulous attention to the scene's dynamic lighting, ensuring the high-end environment and the subjects within it perfectly complemented one another.

Parkland's Pool - Environmental Relighting

The Parkland's Pool image showcases the transformative power of environmental relighting. The original plates were captured under a flat, gray sky, which was completely replaced with a bright, cyan-blue backdrop. To ground this new element and make the composite feel entirely natural, the overall environment and every subject were relit to match the new sky, successfully shifting the mood to a warm, inviting commercial aesthetic.

This breakdown reveals the extensive compositing architecture behind the Lobby hero image. Merging 20 separately lit plates demanded intricate extraction work—carefully cutting out complex details like flyaway hairs, glass, and individual people. Once the structural composite was assembled, individualized dodge and burn treatments were applied across the board. The final step involved a cohesive color grade and atmospheric glows to lock every element together into one flawless, single frame.

Fornite Stand

Fortnite

Fortnite is a global gaming phenomenon, bringing together fast-paced action, strategy, creativity, and chaos in a massive 100-player Battle Royale experience. For Talent Land, one of Mexico’s largest technology and gaming events, we were commissioned to design the official Fortnite stand. Our goal was to go beyond a traditional exhibition booth and create an immersive environment that captured the essence of the game. The challenge was to translate Fortnite’s iconic visual language, energy, and sense of adventure into a physical space that would resonate with both casual visitors and the most dedicated players. Every area was conceived to feel like an extension of the Fortnite universe, transforming the stand into a memorable brand experience rather than simply a display space.

Façade Design

Fortnite’s visual identity inspired the entire façade design. Large-scale character panels and the game’s vibrant color palette transformed the stand into a recognizable landmark visible from across the event floor.

Gamer Zone

Inspired by Fortnite’s iconic building mechanics, the Gamer Zone recreated the feeling of being inside one of the player-built forts seen throughout the game. This dedicated space was designed for streamer Ninja, creating a focal point for live gameplay, audience interaction, and community engagement.

Live Streaming Experience

Ninja’s gameplay was broadcast live on a large LED screen beside the Gamer Zone, allowing visitors on the main floor to follow the action and engage with the experience in real time.

The Interactive Dance Challenge

Situated on the first floor's right wing, this corridor transforms a standard queuing area into a gamified experience. The space is equipped with crowd-control stanchions, a full-body mirror on the left, and a central display. The screen challenges attendees to a dance battle using famous Fortnite emotes, monitored by a hidden Kinect scanner. Pulling off the right moves rewards the user by opening a concealed door at the end of the hallway.
