Hi guys!
I want to get a 3D scan the (naked) upper and lower body of a person, for use with clothes tailoring software. I'm a poor student, so I want to build a rig with CHDK compact cameras (or similar).
The model will not require any texture or facial details. That might help make the camera requirements easier. The only thing I'm interested in is getting something like a 1/2"x1/2" mesh with no more than 1/8" error at any point. The person being photographed can wear skin-tight clothes with reference points drawn on them if that helps (or even drawing straight on the body).
I will build a static "cage" rig for the cameras, since that seems to get the best results.
My question: What do you think is the minimum amount of cameras I can get away with? Any tips, or gotchas?
