From photos: Customers bring us photos. We model the person on a computer and create a realistic 3D bust (from the chest up to the head) until it looks as close as possible to the person in the photos.
Turnaround time is 7-10 days.
We also 3D print a sample so customers can review it and request any changes.
3D scanning the face of a living person
More people choose this type of project because it takes less time and costs less. Contact us for advice on high-quality, fast and reasonably priced options.
This type of project takes 5-7 days after the 3D scan, and costs about 2/3 as much as “modeling from photos”.

How we make ancestor portrait statues with 3D technology
A memorial portrait statue must first capture the spirit of the person who has passed away; durability and material come second. 3D technology makes the process more controlled and easier to adjust than sculpting entirely by hand. A typical process includes:
- Collecting data: gather many photos from different angles; if the person is alive, 3D scan their face and upper body directly.
- Building the 3D model: a digital sculptor models the face, hair and clothing, and refines them until the family feels it looks right.
- Approving the sample: 3D print a small sample or send renders so the family can give feedback before the main statue is made.
- Printing and finishing: print the statue at full size, sand it, refine the details, then paint it with a faux bronze or faux wood finish, or make a mold to cast it in another material.
From photos or a direct 3D scan?
| Criteria | Modeled from photos | 3D scan of a real person |
|---|---|---|
| Who it’s for | Someone who has passed away or cannot be present | A living person who can come in to be scanned |
| Likeness | Depends on the number and quality of photos and the artist’s skill | Closely matches the real facial proportions |
| Modeling time | Longer, needs several rounds of revisions | Faster, mostly fine-tuning details |
If modeling from photos, prepare high-resolution front and side photos with good lighting. The more angles you have, the more lifelike the model.
Choosing a material for the memorial statue
- Painted 3D printed plastic: light and fast, good for small and medium busts kept indoors.
- Polyresin: cast in a mold made from the 3D print, with a smooth surface; faux bronze or faux wood finishes look great and it is durable.
- Composite: suited to large statues or outdoor placement.
- Cast bronze: long-lasting and dignified, using the 3D print as the master pattern for casting.
If your family wants a statue with high durability and a fine finish, see our polyresin statue production service from 3D models. Contact hotline/Zalo 0975 008 728 for advice on the right material.
Frequently asked questions
How many photos are needed to make a lifelike portrait statue?
The more photos from more angles, the better. At a minimum you should have a front view and a side view. Sharp, unobstructed photos taken around the same age help the artist model the face more accurately.
Can a statue be made from old or blurry photos?
Yes, but how lifelike it is depends heavily on the artist’s experience and how many rounds of feedback the family gives. Old photos can be combined with relatives’ descriptions of the person’s facial features to refine the model.
Will a 3D printed statue last on an altar for many years?
A properly coated 3D printed plastic statue keeps its color and shape well indoors. For longer life, choose polyresin, composite or bronze cast from the 3D printed master.
Can the family review and adjust the model before it is finished?
Yes, and this is an important step. The family usually reviews renders or a test print and gives feedback on the facial features, hairstyle and clothing before the final statue is printed and finished.
