COMPANY:

Icon Imaging is one of the leading studios that specialize in very realistic and complex 3D scanning, modeling and imaging. The studio combines the best artistic skills with the most advanced technologies. The studio is equipped with the most advanced 3D scanning hardware and software in the industry. The team is also trained in fine art, architecture and industrial design. The studio as well develops new technology to meet ever growing challenges in computer graphics imaging.

The team has 20 years of experience in the industry and has been involved in many innovative and well know projects such as: The Digital Michelangelo Project, the Maya Dancer both prominently featured a SIGGRAPH as well as many films, games, industrial, architectural and medical projects.

The studio founder, Domi Piturro, is one of the creators of scan data surfacing technology which eventually became the company Paraform which was funded by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, and former Sony executives and was awarded an Academy Award in 2000. His background is from tradition fine art sculpture and architecture and has shown his work extensively in galleries and internationally. He is also one of the first pioneer artists to work with 3D scanning and imaging going all the way back to 1988 at Pratt Institute. Mid-career he shifted from his traditional fine art work to digital imaging and eventually R&D. Since the mid-1990's he has been involved in many top films, games and many other projects.

After his co-founding of Paraform and then working with Stanford on the Digital Michelangelo Project he decided he wanted to return to his roots in hands on studio production. He joined with former Paraform team members and other high level industry colleagues and formed Icon Imaging.

Since 2000 Icon Imaging has been involved in many well know projects. The studio is a custom facility and usually takes on projects that have a high artistic caliber and are technically very difficult. The studio continues to evolve as the process of imaging grows and becomes more complex.
