for basically only about 20 minutes or so of playing with it i thought it wasn't too bad, LOL..

now to get down to really learning how to use this thing, and trying to get the kind of results that Pirvan does, LOL.

the other half bought me the Atlas 3d Scanner kit for Christmas, and I purchased the acrylic enclosure for it.. got the electronics the Saturday before New Years & spent a couple of days figuring out the software side.  Finally got the enclosure kit today (slight delay due to a hardware outage, no big deal tho) - got it all assembled, lasers and camera calibrated, got the turntable turning completely around (thanks wardjr!) could still use some tweaking, but it works - and tried scanning a couple of different things...

Lighting definitely has a big impact on the scan results... my first couple of attempts had big holes in them from bad lighting... the scanner just couldn't "see" the areas.. turned on a secondary light source and it made a HUGE difference... got this from my 4th attempt...

it is not a perfect scan by any means, but I am a happy camper right now.

who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? 53 yrs young and still learning new things every day!
