Face and Body Scanning / Re: Instructions on how to process a scan with projection

« on: July 20, 2015, 10:32:54 AM »

The projection feature is good, but it depends on the led-lightning. If you use normal lightning, the projectors are too weak, to project a good pattern on the person. The lightning must also combined with the raspberry to get darker when the pattern is projected. It´s pretty complicated.

Face and Body Scanning / Re: Planning to open 3D scan studio

« on: June 10, 2015, 11:03:08 AM »

In my opinion and with the experience of many, many scans I can say that a rig with raspberrys is absolutely enough. At the moment (and I think for the next 3-5 years) you can´t 3d-print as high as a DSLR rig provides.
Also a raspberry rig is much easier to handle and much better for your invest ;-)
In the next few weeks we sell our self-developed fullbody 3d-scanner. Including 116 raspberrys, LED lightning and with expandable modules. Price will be 29.900€ excl. vat.
If you´re living in germany I can advise you to visit our 3d-workshop for building up a 3d-scanning studio. (www.makerlounge.com)

But it could be hard work, to scan only in a mall. You should also think about a mobility with your 3d-scanner, to offer your work in different places.

This projection feature sounds interesting. I suppose that u´re working with the burst mode to get quickly the images, but in this mode the resolution of the pictures will be too small for a good picture. How do you solved this?

Face and Body Scanning / Re: align black color clothes

« on: November 12, 2014, 08:39:35 PM »

Could you describe how you fix those parts? I have the same problem with those clothes and also with nylons.
If I change those colors in Lightroom it has no effect on photoscan.
Do you change every part from each picture? That could be a horrible work ;-)

Face and Body Scanning / Problems with Lights

« on: October 05, 2014, 02:09:08 PM »

Maybe its another "view" topic without answers, but I´ll post it anyhow ;-)

In the 360° rig there are some cams in front of the lights, the result is a messy picture that is totaly black or the colors are too overdrawn.
What could be a solution? To edit the pics later with PS or use a totally indirectly lightning? Changing the metering to spot or matrix does not effect satisfy.

Face and Body Scanning / How to calibrate a 100 RSP Rig

« on: September 21, 2014, 07:37:31 PM »

Actually Im building my 100 RSP Rig and have a lot of problems to calibrate those cams. I didn't find the right distance between the body and the camera.
Or are there a few settings in photoscan that I must configure? I've tried it with a 2m circle and have a really ugly result. Not even the texture are good..

Face and Body Scanning / Re: Recommended System for Photoscan

« on: September 18, 2014, 11:30:48 PM »

Thanks for your info. But what kind of pictures do you mean? 80 pics from a dslr, means 10mb or more, or a standard digicam with 3mb? That's a important fact.

Okay, thanks. I?ve got an off from Dell with a Xeon E3-1220 v3, 32GB, 1GB Nvidia Quadro k600 and 2TB HD for about $2k. I think it?s the cheapest Workstation with Xeon CPU.
I?ll looking for other i7 Systems. Thats really difficult to find the right system

Thanks. And would you prefer a Xeon CPU or just a i7? That is at the moment my first question.

Face and Body Scanning / Recommended System for Photoscan

« on: September 17, 2014, 11:25:56 AM »

Hi there,
I'm actually searching for a good computer system for working with photoscan. I'm using a raspberry rig with 150 cams, so the data volume is not so big as a scanner with DSLRs.
Searching in the forum I can't see a clearly recommendation for using a "normal" PC or a workstation with Xeon CPUs.
What do you prefer with an amount of circa 2000$?
Thanks all for helping!

General / Re: Photoscan detects only 2 Cams of 12 !

Hi, thanks for reply. The cams are now working, I have a too large distance between them. And the camera calibration was wrong, but now its working.

General / Photoscan detects only 2 Cams of 12 !

« on: April 22, 2014, 09:23:25 PM »

What are the most important things you need to consider when scanning? I tried a few hours with one object and used 12 cameras for a simple face to scan. But Photoscan detects only 2, sometimes 5 cameras. :-(

Yes, that works. Thanks for helping, I?ll try it with a different object, that have more textures.
