Did you mesh it from the point cloud .asc files or use the auto align function in the software?
I found the optical distance from scanner to surface is around 430mm to get a clean focus on the black & white unphase lines, and I think it helps if you don't deviate too much from the previous scan.
I made a mistake on my first free scans by having the scanner too far away from the object, and I'm sure it decreased the surface resolution, and I noticed surface artefacts too. Anybody else have a recommended distance?
57 scans seems a lot, as 8 is for the typical turntable scan, but moving the camera higher and lower is more beneficial to get easier alignment, than doing the equivalent of one planar rotation, then flipping the object. It definitely seems to work better moving the scanner around.
Thank you i guess i got luck on that !
I did auto align that worked like a charm , but i also saved the .asc files in case i needed them.
How can i do the alignment manually with .asc files ??? is there a tutorial somewhere ???
Since i didn't move from the calibration position although i was in free mode my distance was close to 430-500mm and i never moved the scanner , i was only repositioning the model.
I also thought that 57 scans were a lot but there were many hidden angles and i was too lazy to setup the scanner on the tripod ...
The model was 99% scanned and only about 1% of the surface was left to auto water tight. Especially the area inside the mouth was very hard !
I had around 10-12 scans to get the inside....
