Volumetric Capture

Here is how it adds up. Volumetric capture in Colombia is still an emerging skill and our coordinators frame it honestly: most full multi-camera volumetric stages stay in Los Angeles, London, Tokyo and the Microsoft Mixed Reality Capture Studios partner network, and the bulk of Colombian volumetric production today either imports a stage or routes through partner facilities. The active local pipeline runs through Universidad de los Andes' Centro Ático Lab. This holds the Microsoft Mixed Reality Capture Studios partnership track and operates pilot capture work in Bogotá for music, dance and heritage performance briefs.

Here is the breakdown. Limonero Films' fresh ideas arm works with on the post-processing side — mesh generation, texture mapping, format conversion to point clouds, mesh sequences and compressed volumetric video, and integration into Unreal Engine 5 and Unity scenes for AR / VR delivery. For shoots that need a mature multi-camera array on a Colombia-anchored schedule, the coordinators run a hybrid model: tight Bogotá capture for talent and previs, then partner-stage windows at Mexico City facilities or the Microsoft network.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Encanto-era Colombian animation talent at Pixelio Animation Studios Medellín supplies the rigging, retopology and texturing crews who handle the asset cleanup that volumetric workflows demand, and Universidad Nacional Centro Ático's digital media program — alongside the Universidad de los Andes Centro Ático Lab research pipeline — trains the operators and TDs who staff the capture sessions.

Here is how the picture comes together. Performance work draws from the same telenovela actor pool that anchors Caracol and RCN shoots plus the today's-dance talent around Compañía Nacional de Danza and L'Explose, with Centro Ático's pre-production team handling wardrobe consultation (solid colours, matte fabrics, the patterns that confound volumetric reconstruction). Qualifying spend on volumetric capture, partner-stage rental, post-processing fees and asset finishing routes through the CINA 40% cash refund and the FFC 35% tax credit with Proimágenes Colombia and the Comisión Fílmica Colombiana, and DIAN ATA carnet records covers any imported capture rigs across the production window.
