New Scan - Death Dealer by Frazetta (Page 1 of 2)

wow, nice job.

the chest area looks like it could use a little tweaking - it looks kinda caved in/too shallow, but the rest looks pretty darn good.

Is anyone else hearing Flirtin' with Disaster in their head while reading this thread?  ;P

Other than me mentioning I scanned the model so I can print it later at a smaller scale, I don't see where I could possibly be "flirting with disaster".

Did I imply anywhere that the model will be released?

Here is a side-by-side shot of the plastic model and the scan.  They are nearly identical.  You're right, there shouldn't be such a deep crevice in the chest, but  that's how the model is, and the scan is just like it.

I suppose if I wanted to I could fill that part in, but I think I'll leave it just like original.

I started with the Atlas 3D scanner, and there are lots of posts here that I've done with tutorials and such.  The Atlas 3D, when properly calibrated can produce very good results, athough it requires quite a bit of post scan processing. 

The nice thing about the Enscan-S is that it does a lot of things automatically, like aligning of separate scans, which I used to have to do manually using MeshLab and MeshMixer before.

Yes, it's more expensive, but ultimately, it's the best thing out there for less than 5 grand.

Right now, there's a vendor on eBay selling them for $929, which is damn good deal.

Wow! You spend 5 grand for a new one? When I say "But the scanner is quite expensive," the $929 one is the one I think quite expensive. But the scanning quality is really good, if you can use it for productivity, the price should not be a problem.

I will use it to scan machine parts that don't contain complex surface, I will look into Atlas 3D scanner, thank you very much for your information.

I have no experience on tweaking the mesh, so redraw everything will be easier for me. I will redraw the part in cad software, it is a lot easier if I have scanned stl on side and zoomed to projected size. so nothing fancy is needed. I will definitely consider Einscan-S if my interest move into art area or Einscan-S price goes down.

while I'm a big hard rock & southern rock fan, Molly hatchet was not a band I listended to, I was more into Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and such.  But you peaked my curiosity so I looked at their album covers, and sure enough their debut album had that painting on the cover:

Now I'll have to go home and check out some of their albums

Last night I scanned the rider.  It required 5 scans to get most of the nooks and crannies, and it still requires some clean up, but it's not bad as is, so I thought I'd share a couple of snapshots

Here is the horse and rider.  There are still a few thing that need to be added like the bridle, reins the rider's sword and shield, but it's 80% complete.

Yes, I plan on printing it on my Form 1+ printer, then it will be painted.  In fact I'll probably end up painting the printed model before I do the model kit.  It will be like a test run.

Almost there...

Wow! Now I really want a 3D scanner!

It took you a long time to scan the model. I have no idea which step take most of your time, need repeatedly scan the model to get better quality image or post scanning process or the scanning itself took long time. My scanning experience is limited to 2D scanning, just want to have some idea what I'm going to get myself into...
