Virtual Entertainment

The digital replicas created through photogrammetry provide unprecedented freedom and precision to design the film sets and hyper realistic virtual environments for video games and VR/AR productions. The process of 3D scanning photogrammetry allows you to create virtual replicas of any object exposed to visible light or any recordable electromagnetic radiation such as infrared, multi-spectral or even x-rays.

You can scan pretty much any imaginable object from an organ tissue to a full planet. Thanks to photogrammetry and playing with the sense of scale, something as neglected as an old dry twig can be turned into an exciting virtual object that may find it’s way into a video game or as a film special effect. Thus we have made out of a dry twig a credible celestial body orbiting your favorite asteroid belt.

At Dronícola, our passion extends beyond cultural heritage—entertainment is our other calling. Our meticulously crafted digital twins are versatile assets, seamlessly enhancing various entertainment products, from video games to extended reality (XR) experiences, and even special effects in film, including SPFX, VFX, and CGI.

We bring the past into the present, transforming real-world elements into immersive digital worlds that captivate audiences and elevate storytelling across all media. Here are a few more samples of our digital twins created for entertainment.

1. El Pontón de la Oliva Climbing Wall. Our digital twin of this iconic climbing wall in Patones, Madrid, transforms its rugged cliffs and dramatic textures into a thrilling virtual setting for action and horror-themed entertainment. Ideal for video games, VR experiences, and cinematic special effects, this digital recreation brings an authentic atmosphere of challenge and suspense.

With its towering rock faces and shadowed crevices, El Pontón de la Oliva becomes the perfect backdrop for pulse-pounding adventures and spine-chilling encounters, transporting audiences to a hyper-realistic environment steeped in both natural beauty and eerie intrigue.

This digital recreation offers a rich storytelling asset for period films, mystery games, and historical VR experiences. It invites audiences to explore the past, unlocking the secrets and memories embedded within its timeworn exterior.

3. Old Fire Extinguisher. Digital twins of items like old extinguishers unlock a rich layer of authenticity in 3D immersive entertainment. These virtual assets capture every scratch, rusted edge, and faded label, preserving the raw beauty of decay that speaks to URBEX and post-apocalyptic atmospheres.

They ground the viewer in a world that feels genuinely abandoned, lived-in, and timeworn. From a forgotten extinguisher to a battered door handle, every asset adds layers of realism, drawing players into spaces that feel eerily real and hauntingly familiar.

4. Scrapyard Car Wheel. Another URBEX digital twin is this old, rusted car wheel found in a forgotten scrapyard. The detailed textures of rust, grime, and cracked rubber capture the passage of time and abandonment, perfect for creating an atmosphere of decay and mystery in immersive experiences.

Whether featured in a video game, virtual environment, or film, this wheel tells its own story, adding depth and realism to scenes set in desolate or abandoned landscapes.

5. Dronícola’s digital twin of this abandoned building captures the haunting atmosphere of decay, perfect for a horror or dystopian scene. The structure stands desolate, with crumbling walls, faded graffiti, and shattered remnants that hint at a forgotten past.

Its rough textures reveal weathered stone and exposed concrete, while patches of greenery creep up from the ground, emphasizing nature’s slow reclamation. Set against a stark, empty landscape, the building exudes an eerie stillness, as if time has frozen. This digital model is ideal for creating an unsettling environment, inviting viewers to explore a world left behind, filled with mystery and hidden dangers.
