Yep, 800x600 for the Desktop sucks totally :
Glad I could pay you back a little. What fooled me was the scanner projector wasn't very bright, and I'd once seen some patterns before (maybe a YouTube video)
I think the guys could make a better worksheet to explain what you should see. I'll make a tab on my website anyway, as I'll blog my efforts.
I did buy a Matter & Form, and I had to spray the objects with that too, but I sent it back as it was useless, however it did do colour.
This is starting to show promise
I plan on using 3DCoat too to reduce mesh sizes, so I can chuck it into my CAD, as it has a limit on the sizes it can convert.
I see what you mean about their meshing too. :eek
It'd be nice to access the raw point cloud data. More reading later, but at least I have a working 3D scanner connected to my MacBook now.
