the photorealistic human face masks by real-f are custom-made for each client

 

japanese company REAL-f creates photo-realistic masks and mannequins of human subjects

 

the company uses ‘3DPF (3D photo form) technology’, a technique of modeling in three dimensions by shooting photographs from a range of angles and imprinting the image on vinyl chloride resin stretched over a 3D-printed mold. the process replicates details as minute as skin texture and iris and blood vessel patterns in the eye.

 

the sitting and photography of the client must be done in person with real-f technicians, and the pieces themselves are created in less than two weeks. the ‘real face’ mask (costing approximately 3900 USD) and the ‘real head’ mannequin model (costing approximately 5865 USD) are both colorfast and water-resistant. at present, the company creates only closed-mouth models.
