# Event Details - **Event Name**: 3D Location Scanning - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 03 Nov, 2026 at 09:00 am – Thu, 05 Nov, 2026 at 04:30 pm (-06:00) - **Event Description**: Use Gaussian Splatting Acquisition to turn Real-World Locations into Photorealistic 3D ScenesAbout this EventTerrestrial scanning has traditionally meant a choice: LiDAR and photogrammetry give you accurate measurements, but the results often look flat, gappy, or artificial once you try to actually look around inside them. 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) changes that equation. It's a newer capture-and-rendering technique that turns real-world scans into scenes you can walk through in photorealistic detail, reflections, foliage, glass, fine texture and all , and it does it in minutes, not days.This workshop is a hands-on introduction to that pipeline. In this three day workshop you will learn how to capture a location with modern scanning hardware, how to clean up and process that data, and how to bring the result into a real-time 3D environment where it can actually be used for visualization, presentation, or production.Join the Virtual Production Academy and Epic Games Authorized Instructors who will walk you through the process end to end. You'll capture and process a real scan yourself, and see how it's deployed in a real-time engine including a look at how the same pipeline extends all the way to a live LED wall, one of several places this technology is landing right now.No advanced 3D or coding background needed. If you're curious about scanning and reality capture and comfortable finding your way around a computer, you're ready for this.Who this is forTerrestrial scanning and 3DGS are useful well beyond any one industry this workshop is built for anyone who wants that skill set, including:Film & advertising professionals curious about digital scouting and how scanned locationscan be used in preproduction.Reality capture & survey professionals already working with LiDAR or photogrammetry who want to add high-fidelity 3DGS to their toolkit.Architecture, engineering & construction (AEC) professionals looking for faster, more photorealistic ways to document and present sites and buildings.Real estate, tourism & marketing professionals who want immersive, walk-through-quality captures of properties or destinations.Heritage & cultural documentation specialists interested in creating lasting, richly detailed digital records of historic sites.Urban planners & digital twin creators building accurate, real-world-based 3D models for planning and public engagement.Digital artists & Unreal Engine technicians who want to build real-time environments from real-world scans instead of building everything from scratch.What you'll walk away knowing how to doCapture a real location as a precise, photorealistic 3D scan using professional-grade scanning hardware.Clean up and refine that scan so it's genuinely usable: sharp, stable, and free of visual noise.Bring the scan into a real-time 3D engine (Unreal Engine) and get it running smoothly.Understand how a finished scan gets calibrated and deployed for real-world use, using a live LED wall demonstration as a hands-on example of a real-time deployment pipeline.Recognize and troubleshoot the common visual issues that show up when a scan gets pushed into real-time playback.What to bringCuriosity about 3D scanning, no advanced 3D or coding background required.Basic comfort navigating a computer; some familiarity with Unreal Engine's interface is helpful but not mandatory.Your instructorsThis workshop is led by Epic Games Authorized Instructors with real-world reality capture and virtual production experience: Gastón Alvarez and Carlos Vilchis, brought in through a partnership with the Virtual Production Academy. Between them, they bring hands-on expertise in real-time 3D pipelines, 3D art, capture and digitization of real-world locations, and on-set deployment.Agenda🕑: 09:00 AM - 04:30 PMNov.3 - Capturing a real location with professional scanning hardware🕑: 09:00 AM - 04:30 PMNov.4- Cleaning up and processing the scan data🕑: 09:00 AM - 05:00 PMNov.5 - Bringing the scan into a real-time 3D engine - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/winnipeg/3d-location-scanning/100001998368276309 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops, Art, Entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 7 hours 30 minutes - Location: StudioLab xR - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 639.28, max: 639.28, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Winnipeg - **state**: MB - **country**: Canada - **location**: StudioLab xR - **lat**: 49.8957545 - **long**: -97.13925449999999 - **full address**: StudioLab xR, 201 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 3D Location Scanning - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/01e24e03640cc5eb7d05ea348f4d50350d1faee8862ad552df491805e12847e4-rimg-w1200-h600-dc181838-gmir.jpg?v=1791671163 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 3D Location Scanning being held? - **A:** 3D Location Scanning takes place on Tue, 03 Nov, 2026 at 09:00 am to Thu, 05 Nov, 2026 at 04:30 pm at StudioLab xR, 201 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing 3D Location Scanning? - **A:** 3D Location Scanning is organized by New Media Manitoba. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
