What Ten24 does
Ten24 is a Sheffield, UK-based boutique 3D scanning and photogrammetry services firm specializing in high-fidelity capture of human subjects for the entertainment industry. Founded in 2008 (firmographic record) with its operating entity Ten24 Media LTD incorporated in 2015, the company operates a custom-built photogrammetry stack centered on a 170+ DSLR camera rig (with 40 cameras dedicated to head scanning) synchronized to within a millisecond, capturing full bodies and heads in approximately 1/10,000th of a second on a 2.5m x 2m T-170 capture stage that runs two scans per second at full resolution. Post-scan processing is performed using Capturing Reality's Reality Capture software, supplemented by Ten24's own six-year refined clean-up pipeline that delivers production-ready Ztools with up to ~7 million polygons, properly unwrapped UVs, and 16k texture maps without atlas-mapping artifacts.
The company serves enterprise gaming, film/TV, and advertising clients including Kojima Productions (Death Stranding), Square Enix (Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV), Larian Studios (Baldur's Gate 3), 343 Industries, Creative Assembly, the BBC (Dr Who, Merlin, Atlantis, Mummies Alive), Kingsman (digital face replacements), Nike, Lucozade Sport, and VW. Revenue is generated via project-based quoting for full-body and head scanning services, RAW versus cleaned data packages (with bulk discounts over 10 body or 20 head scans), a £4,000 + VAT mobile scanning call-out service, and talent casting assistance. The firm also operates linked sub-brands 3D Scan Store (asset marketplace) and Anatomy 360 (anatomy reference resource), and is co-developing Esports Boxing Club with Steel City Interactive, signaling an evolution from pure scanning vendor toward a more embedded production role.
Ten24's go-to-market is enterprise-direct with a portfolio-driven website funnel (project showcase, free sample scan downloads, fullscreen demo reel), no publicly disclosed pricing, no institutional funding rounds, and no revenue figures; the firm is founder/owner-operated, employs 11-50 people, and serves a globally distributed customer base from a single Sheffield studio.

Strategic signalPartnerships
Eight partnerships are on record, tiered core, notable, key and minor.
- Capturing RealitycorePartnership using Reality Capture photogrammetry software for processing scan data. Their latest scanning software enables super fast and ultra detailed 3D mesh generation, described as the critical software breakthrough needed to push photogrammetry to its limits.
- Surrey NanoSystemsnotableAssociation for the Vantablack artwork project. Surrey NanoSystems created Vantablack, the world's blackest material that absorbs 99.96% of visible light. Ten24 scanned a subject which was then coated with Vantablack for an artistic installation.
- Black Edge 3DnotableCollaboration partner in the Vantablack artwork project with BBC One Show and Surrey NanoSystems. Black Edge 3D contributed to creating the first piece of artwork covered by Vantablack.
- Axis AnimationkeyLong-standing strategic partner across multiple major projects including Dead Island, Dead Island 2, Drakensang Online, Grey Goo, Pirates of the Caribbean Armada of the Damned, and BBC productions. Axis handles downstream animation and VFX work on Ten24's scan data.
- Dimensional ImagingnotablePartnership for BBC Atlantis project where both scanning companies were present on set. Also collaborated on Kingsman: The Secret Service. Dimensional Imaging operates 4D capture technology.
- Infinite-RealitiesnotableCollaboration for Dead Island FMV project alongside Axis Animation. Infinite-Realities is a renowned 3D scanning studio.

Ten24 competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Infinite-Realities: Renowned 3D scanning studio specializing in photorealistic human and object capture for games, film, and VFX. Direct competitor to Ten24; co-collaborated on the Dead Island FMV project.
- Dimensional Imaging: UK-based 4D/3D facial and body capture studio serving film, broadcast, and VFX clients. Co-present with Ten24 on BBC Atlantis and Kingsman: The Secret Service, competing for similar high-end photogrammetry engagements.
- Dimension Studios: Volumetric and photogrammetry capture studio producing digital humans and assets for film, games, and advertising. Comparable technology stack and target customers to Ten24, with a broader global studio footprint.
- 4DViews: Volumetric video capture company providing high-fidelity 3D/4D human capture for entertainment, broadcast, and live performance. Comparable product offering in photorealistic human digitization, with stronger focus on volumetric/live capture.
Broad incumbents
- Microsoft Mixed Reality Capture Studios: Microsoft-operated global network of photogrammetry capture studios for Mixed Reality and volumetric content. A scaled incumbent offering similar high-fidelity human capture with global reach that exceeds Ten24's single Sheffield location.
- Framestore: Global VFX and immersive content studio with in-house photogrammetry and character capture capabilities. Broader incumbent — competes with Ten24 for character scanning budgets within larger VFX bids, but offers full-service post-production on top.
- Weta FX: Major VFX studio with substantial character/digital human capture infrastructure for film. Comparable in photorealistic character work but at vastly greater scale; in-sourcing scanning rather than buying from boutique houses like Ten24.
Emerging players
- Tetavi: Volumetric video capture provider for entertainment, gaming, and metaverse applications. Competes in adjacent digital human capture with a more software/SaaS-led delivery model versus Ten24's boutique hardware-centric service.
Others
- Capturing Reality: Photogrammetry software vendor whose Reality Capture engine Ten24 uses for mesh processing. Adjacent ecosystem participant — its software roadmap directly affects Ten24's output quality and turnaround times.
- Axis Animation: UK-based animation and VFX studio; long-standing Ten24 partner that consumes its scan data for downstream animation work. Not a direct scanning competitor but a close ecosystem counterpart that could in-source scanning over time.
