Constructing the cybernetic Mix Master Mike 3D model. And basically, I’m only using the head model from his scan, because I actually built out his body like a cybernetic character. So, you do have to decimate some of the polygons and smooth it down, just so it’s workable. I don’t remember the specs right off the bat, but the model came back extremely heavy. JW: Each one of those cameras is taking a different angle of Mike and overlapping a little bit, so that you get as high-res of an image as possible.

PB: After the scan, how much cleanup of the 3D model was required? They gave us a 3D scan of Mike and myself, and that’s a lot of stuff that you see there. In our case, we were helping them test it out and we were the very first ones to go in there and do some photogrammetry work. Then, they take that 3D model and use it for VFX in movies or video games. They’re getting an exact 3D replica of whoever they’re scanning.

They’re located here in Southern California, but they can drive it anywhere-if you’re shooting a movie or if you’re working on a video game.Īctors will come up to the truck, they’ll get a full 3D scan, so that everything is photo-real. They call it “The Scan Truck” because they can actually take it anywhere. And, these guys actually built that soundstage inside of a mobile truck. A lot of times when you want to 3D scan objects or people, you have to go to a soundstage that’s built for it. A couple of years ago, they came up with this concept. JW: Yeah, the image that you’re talking about is from this company called The Scan Truck. PB: One of the images you shared was a photo of Mike in a room full of cameras. Mix Master Mike standing in The Scan Truck. I sent him a pitch of some stuff that I was working on and the rest is history from there. Tony told him what I was working on in 360 VR, so it kind of just mashed together. And, he wanted to put out a music video, but nothing traditional. Mike has always been forward thinking and always likes to dabble in new technologies. We had a mutual friend at the time, Tony Washington, he was doing a lot of Mike’s illustration work because Mike was coming out with a comic book at the time.

I was doing a lot of research and development, messing around with 360 VR stuff.

JW: Funny enough, it started way back in about 2015-16, when I started getting into virtual reality. PB: I’m sure a lot of people are interested, as a motion graphics artist, how did you get connected with Mix Master Mike and start doing these collaborations? Jonathan Winbush and DJ Mix Master Mike at a premiere with the JabbaWockeez. After talking to him about what I was doing in the NFT space, he was like, “We should actually put together an NFT crypto art album, with the audio and visuals together.” So, what I’m doing right now is I’m working on the first single with Mix Master Mike, we’re going to be putting it on SuperRare, and it’s going to be like a thirty to forty-five second music video with one of the clips off his new album that’s coming out. Jonathan Winbush: Yeah, so I’ve been doing crypto art for a few months now, just kind of getting my toes wet, and I’ve done a lot of projects with Mix Master Mike in the past.
