Check this out! Louis-Philippe Gendron, Computer Graphics Artist at Creaform, has produced a short animated film featuring a full-size 3D scan model of the Inukshuk that served as inspiration to the creator of the logo for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver.

This reproduction of an Inuit landmark, which is quite impressive (18 ft. or 6 meters tall) , was scanned on site last December. This is a good example of how real-life objects can be easily and perfectly “virtualized” and used in a wide variety of multimedia productions.
