Volumetric Capture

Here is how this works in practice. We connect productions with volumetric capture studios and technical teams across the Netherlands. Volumetric capture records three-dimensional performances using arrays of synchronised cameras and depth sensors, creating digital assets that can be viewed from any angle — true 3D video rather than a flat recording, and distinct from motion capture in that it preserves the actual appearance of performers, their faces, costumes and movement.

The country has a strong immersive-media and creative-technology sector concentrated in the Amsterdam cluster, where VR, AR and game-engine work overlap, and the country's workforce is near-universally fluent in English, ranking first worldwide for English proficiency. Our team sets up stage booking, camera calibration and the data-processing pipeline — 3D reconstruction, mesh generation, texture mapping and format conversion — and advises on wardrobe during pre-production, since solid colours and matte fabrics reconstruct most cleanly. We deliver volumetric content as point clouds, mesh sequences or compressed volumetric formats tied to the target sites.

Here is the short of it. Volumetric capture is studio-based and gains from the controlled-set character of Dutch production: the temperate maritime climate makes consistent natural light unreliable, so the technique's reliance on a calibrated, stable capture volume is an advantage. The Netherlands' compact geography keeps capture stages, creative-technology teams and post-prod facilities within easy reach across the Randstad. Amsterdam is the country's post-prod hub, with VFX and immersive houses skilled in integrating volumetric assets into VR, AR and game cinematics.

The country Film Production Rebates — a 35% cash rebate on qualifying Dutch spend administered by the Netherlands Film Fund (Nederlands Filmfonds) — supports digital and immersive production alongside conventional film, drawing projects that need photorealistic 3D human performance. We set up technical crews and stage access for entertainment, documentary, music-performance and interactive-media projects, and deliver volumetric assets that integrate cleanly into a project's post-prod and distribution workflow.
