About EISKO

EISKO is a French digital human production and computer vision studio specializing in 3D scanning, digital doubles and facial animation. Founded in Paris in 2010, it creates photorealistic human assets for entertainment, advertising, luxury and technology applications. Its work spans facial likenesses, full-body replicas and expressive characters intended for both real-time experiences and rendered productions.

The studio combines photogrammetry and photometric stereo capture to reconstruct detailed human geometry and physically based textures. Its services extend from acquisition through digital double production and facial rigging, providing assets for feature films, commercials, AAA video games, virtual and augmented reality, and holographic displays. Capture is available through its studio facilities in Paris and Monaco and through mobile systems deployed to production locations worldwide.

From capture to animated characters

EISKO develops facial rigs based on the Facial Action Coding System, translating captured likenesses into anatomical expressions and animation controls. Its production workflows support Autodesk Maya, Unreal Engine and Unity, connecting digital human creation with established visual effects and game development pipelines. The company also offers AI face replacement based on verified 3D capture data, alongside virtual influencer creation and conversational digital characters.

Through Eisko Agency, the studio combines digital likeness production with representation management and protection. This work addresses the technical and contractual requirements of using recognizable people in films, games, immersive experiences and brand campaigns, including the management of licensed celebrity likenesses.

Technology beyond entertainment

EISKO also applies its capture and reconstruction capabilities to automated character tools and beauty technology. Its internal product brands include Polywink, which provides cloud-based facial rigging and blendshape services; Cydolia, which uses 3D measurement and simulation for cosmetic evaluation; and GeminID, which provides tools for reconstructing avatars from a single selfie.

These activities connect the studio's digital human production business with broader uses for human imaging, from interactive avatars to clinical skin analysis. Across these applications, EISKO combines capture hardware, reconstruction software and production services to deliver usable digital representations of people.

More about EISKO

Leadership

Cédric Guiard is identified as President and CEO and as one of the studio's founders; the research does not name his co-founder.

Production methods

EISKO describes a proprietary reconstruction pipeline that automates topology reconstruction and extracts pore-level facial geometry, mechanical properties and production-format texture maps. The company presents this automation as a way to reduce manual sculpting, retopology and texture cleanup.

Likeness safeguards

Eisko Agency uses three-party contracts, blockchain registration and NFT-backed verification as part of its framework for managing authorized uses of celebrity digital likenesses.

Product development and collaboration

Polywink launched in 2018. Its automated tools support MetaHuman rigs and iPhone ARKit facial motion capture setups. GeminID is described as a collaboration between EISKO and its Cydolia brand, offering a lightweight Unity SDK, an API and the AvatarMe demonstration app. Cydolia's cosmetic evaluation work includes collaborations with L'Oréal, Chanel and Beiersdorf.
