But I found for organic things I could get a decent scan that I could patch up in mesh mixer with relative ease.  As far as a car, size wise it shouldn't be a problem but I did notice that with some reflective surfaces I had trouble getting a good scan but hey, it's worth a shot. I would like to see what you guys come up with.

Post some scanned samples when you get it.

i'm not impress by makerbot digitizer result (you can see some in thingiverse).... waiting my matterform scanner...

The resulting scans produced with the Kinect are just too coarse and devoid of small details to be of any use to me.  Additionally, this type of scanner is better suited for scanning a "live" scene with large objects, such as a room, and rely on the camera to capture color information to provide the missing detail (the texture).  The mesh itself leaves a lot to be desired.

So until I can afford a scanner like the Makerbot Digitizer (or even the MatterForm 3Dscanner), or until such time prices fall to a more affordable level, I think I'll put 3D scanning on the backburner.

They said they would have a flesh color filament in this week and a whole new  line of flament

I scanned my daughter and son-in-law about a year ago and printed their heads for their wedding cake. I used a Kinect and Reconstructme to do the job. Reconstructme is kind of finickey but I was able to get good scans and clean them up nice. I had a friend clean them up and paint them and they really turned out great. I posted a pic a while back.

I have had pretty good luck so far.Now I am waiting for kinect 2 for windows to be released. MS says about May.

All you need to use the Kinect with the PC is some drivers which can be found online.   The hard part was taking it into meshmixer and cleaning up and filling holes from the scans.

Can you expand a bit on how you interfaced the Kinect and what software you used?
