Post your scans here !

I used the contact form to ask but no reply.. Asked again for a tutorial.

Are you there Dave?

Dave/Nerv isn't responding, guess he doesn't want to share the tutorial anymore..

I saw software version 1.7.3 is out, downloading now. Did people use it already?

ok, great!

Also interested in a tutorial. I can manual scan and auto align in one rotational plane, but as soon as I flip it (to get missing data), it can't figure it out. Maybe I need an intermediate rotation to allow it to understand. Works for natural shapes as there is little symmetry but a uniform shape it struggles.

Also, is the scan to scale? It is hard to tell. Any good way to orientate correctly once in meshmixer? This is all new but exciting!

I have been scanning with 1.7.3 for a few days works great, but I only have the Einscan-s also for a few days.
it is giving my iMac and Win scan laptop a workout, these files are huge

And here are my first test scans

The Catwoman head is a little smaller the a life size head.



The Rancor is about 5cm in height.

Wow, nice scans! I am scanning right now with 1.7.3 but my objects are a bit shiny so not too successfull. I have sprayed them with chalk, helps a bit. I'll try some matte figurines later.

I also noticed that the surface is very important to get a good scan,
white or light gray and matte as possible, and one uniform color, and especially no black or dark colors.

I guess some hairspray should also dull the surface a lot, and is easily removable.

I looked into some special spray cans, that spray a matte white powder on the surface that can be brushed off.

Anything from a local hardware store? What about plastidip or is it too thick and messy? What about reference marks for uniform objects to help align things?
How important is having the scanner perpendicular to the object to get the right focal point. I noticed on the auto mode, because of the angle the bottom was out of focus but top was sharp. More reason to ditch the turntable maybe.
Those scans above are amazing though!

The best and most easy material from the hardware store is liquid latex rubber, if you add a white pigment it should dry up white, and is easily removable,
I am going to try that this week.

I must say the free scans give a better result, and I use the projected cross to keep the main part in focus, but when the final meshing is done, it seems to add all the sharper detail for the final mesh.
I have not got the idea that there are parts of the object out of focus, and you can always cut away unwanted parts in the segment you scanned before adding to the group scans.

OK so free scan is sharper? I don't understand the calibration part, in the manual it says if you move the scanner you have to calibrate again. But how often do you have to do this? If you go to free scan you also move the camera so what am I supposed to do?
