EXPERTISE

Plain and simple, our expertise is automotive. From the earliest CG renders and 360 spins in the 90’s, to the first real-time vehicle web apps in 2006, to the award-winning Genesis.com WebGL site in 2019, ACME artists and assets were there.

VEHICLE DATA PREP

New technologies like WebGL, AR and VR are rapidly expanding the need for real-time vehicle assets. For 16 years ACME has specialized in the creation of real-time vehicle assets and has developed proprietary tools for their expedited creation from OEM CAD data. The results of this expertise and these innovations can be seen in sites the award-winning Genesis.com site.

Vehicle Sourcing

For 16 years ACME has cultivated relationships with OEM's, museums, and automobile collectors around the globe. As a result of these contacts, and the reputation we have built for the care we take with each vehicle we scan, ACME can locate and source almost any vehicle.

3D DIGITIZING/MODELING

ACME's proprietary digitizing software enables efficient 3D data capture to 0.012" accuracy. The process utilizes 3M Fineline tape, made specifically for use on all automotive surfaces; exteriors, interiors, engine bays, etc. Using this process ACME has captured more than 500 vehicles.

VEHICLE SCANNING

Historics motor sports introduces significant potential risk for the value and provenance of these vintage vehicles. Accurate 3D Documentation insures that, should the unthinkable occur, they can be returned to their original form.

OUR WORK

From day one ACME’s goal has been to exceed our client’s expectations in a timely manner. In our continuing effort to save time and eliminate risk, we strive to understand our clients’ needs and anticipate, and then eliminate issues that can lead to mistakes or revisions. The end result is a client base that has come to expect deliverables they can get to work with as soon as the are received.

Some reviews from clients

WHAT THEY SAY

I recently worked on an unprecedented project with ACME and had a great experience (Genesis WebGL site). What impressed me the most was their approach to problem solving. We built a 3D vehicle WebGL configurator for an automotive Client and Acme was continually looking ahead and tackling unknown issues all along with an upbeat “We can do this” attitude. They kept my spirits up during a very challenging project.
