Our Stories

We at VG Stories would like to wish you a fantastic start to the new year! And what better—and environmentally friendlier—way to celebrate than virtual firecrackers? Join us as we use VGSTUDIO MAX to examine what, exactly, gives a firecracker its spark!

It is no secret that American football is the most popular sport in the United States. In fact, professional championship games bring in an annual revenue of 15 billion US dollars, making it the most valuable sports league in the world! Recent years have shed more light on player health and safety in this exciting—but wildly full-contact—sport. Join us as we interview Dr. Andrew Mathers on scanning and segmenting parts of an American football helmet!

We at VG Stories would like to wish you a safe, happy, and colorful Easter. But before you go, let's paint a virtual Easter egg! Join us as we use VGSTUDIO MAX to create and export colorful meshes for 3D printing!

Gifts often hold great sentimental value—so great, in fact, that it is hard to believe such a small chip can make such a huge dent in function. At least, that was the case when a customer had a beloved fountain pen that no longer wrote. Check out this story of how they used VGSTUDIO MAX to segment, measure, and reconstruct parts of the pen!

Sometimes, to get to the core of a problem, all we need is a new set of eyes—and the possibility of perspective. Join us as we use the rotation and non-planar views of VGSTUDIO MAX to explore every nook and cranny of different objects!

Last week, we did a deep dive into the non-planar and rotation view of VGSTUDIO MAX. This week, we'll be exploring two more views: custom path and profile window. Join us as we use VGSTUDIO MAX to gain even more perspective on… well, perspective!

Bookmarks in VGSTUDIO MAX—as in real life—work wonders as placeholders. They save our spots in the project while we shift and rotate objects and work on other analyses. As such, we often drop them somewhere and come back to them later, which easily makes them one of the most overlooked, underused features in the software.

Check out how you can use these hidden gems of visualization to showcase your project!

In the early 18th century, sculptor Barthélemey Giubal brought five figures to life for the palace gardens in Lunéville: the singer Arion and his four accompanying putti. In 1766, Prince Elector Charles Theodore had these sculptures brought to Schwetzingen. Now, centuries later, they will be journeying home—as 3D scans. Join Benjamin Moreno and Vincent Lacombe as they scan the sculptures in Schwetzingen Palace!

It's Halloween time at Volume Graphics! A time of candy, freshly carved jack-o'-lanterns, and costume-themed shenanigans. No matter how you celebrate, we wish you a fun and safe Halloween. Speaking of safe, let's use our tools on VGSTUDIO MAX to digitally carve (and explode) a jack-o'-lantern!
