Topic: lots of noise in scans
Here is the importance of adjusting the laser threshold setting. I have direct overhead fluorescent lighting which is too much, so I used a canopy cover to cut down the lighting. Below are samples of the different threshold settings.
The first one was done with the threshold set @ 2. As you can see, the scan is so noisy, it totally unusable.
This one is taken with the threshold @ 10. Still very noisy, but you can at least make up the model underneath.
This one is done with the threshold @ 20. Still has some noise, but most of it will be eliminated after the final merge and in post clean up.
BTW, a lot of noise also comes from reflections, so to cut down on that, I used some baby powder that I applied with a large makeup brush I borrowed from the wife.
