Foreword Quite simply, experiencing a perfect life-size, full-body, likeness of yourself in 3-dimensions is totally and utterly breathtaking. By creating your portrait as a stand-alone, by incorporating it within an environment that helps define your character or by taking it into the realms of fantasy within an incredible 3-dimensional wonderland, a 3DTwin portrait is like nothing on earth – and this is what makes a 3DTwin portrait extraordinary.

THe Power oF PorTrAITUre Throughout history, portraits have honoured, celebrated and remembered extraordinary people and extraordinary lives. Some of the most iconic masterpieces ever created are portraits representing the soul, character and virtues of the subject, illustrating beyond doubt that a portrait is the ultimate symbol of status and success. Focusing on social standing, uniqueness and star quality, a portrait conveys the presence of an individual with an immediate and evocative power, offering a form of immortality. Capturing the essence of the individual is at the heart of every 3DTwin portrait. 10907-3Dtwin_SalesBroch_txt#2.indd 5
