Has anyone seen this. I looked through the forum, but could not find any mention of it. http://www.david-laserscanner.com/ My coworker just starting messing with it this morning and has already gotten a rough 3d scan from it. It looks like there might be potential there from the examples that are shown.

I hope you can post some screenshots from his results or even a mesh. Digitizing real shapes sure fascinates me.

i saw that one day, and would be curious to see your results too!

[Eric Lagman]

Ok I set up a test last night. Was up to about 2 in the morning. Early results look very promising. Wow! I will post some screen shots once I put the little one to bed tonight.

scan the little one...

I will try myself.. looks cool.. I remember the early beginng of it... it was so so.. but they made a real progress...

Ok I tried it out this weekend. My first tests look very promising. Im not getting what this guy is getting, but then again I am not using an $800.00 camera and $100.00 laser like he has. http://www.david-laserscanner.com/forum ... ght=figure

Herve I see you in the David Forum. I will be signing up soon. Let me know if you give it a try and any tips you have.

Here is the setup I threw together with the 640x480 15fps webcam I have at home and a laser line we had laying around here in the office.

Not bad for the price, and I am hoping if I can get a better camera and laser I will be in good shape to get really detailed scans. After testing the auto align of the built in David software I went ahead and spent the $260.00 for the pro version that lets you save high resolution scans and gives you the shapefusion software that helps merge the scans. I tried using the free route with meshlab to merge the scans, but was very tedious compared to david scan shapefusion software that comes with pro license.

I am thinking to upgrade my webcam to this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... %20Pro9000

it can go up to 1600x1200 , but fps drop. I read on the david forum that it will do 960x720 @ 15fps

that has to be the cleanest work space i have ever seen... pig looks cool. i'd like to see something with more detail scanned using the same setup.

i would keep an eye on the obsessive compulsive spending habits..... speaking from my own experience

Hello Eric !.. yes I signed at the forum there.. this is very cool result ! I will let you know how it is going.. too much work at the moment..

I could see how this may be useful for your food models. Scroll to the end of this post. http://www.david-laserscanner.com/forum ... ght=newbie'

Thanks Eric.. yes I've seen that one.. pretty good if you ask me.. I was just wondering about textures.. I have not see many textured objects at the moment..

[johann.dugge]

I tried this a year or so ago, and textured objects were't really an issue but their glossiness was, because that makes it much harder to pick up the laser line correctly.

[Hervé]

how about taking the texture first.. then powdering the glossy object prior to scan it...?

Is that your house??? I wounder what your wife thinks of your little toys.

I know, if I walk in a house and they have a setup like that in their living room............my first reaction would be: WTF!!!!
