That is great work! It's one thing to identify issues and quite another to set about creating a solution. Nice! I really appreciate what you have brought to the table.

We have an upcoming snow storm that promises to keep me at home for the next few days. If our electricity doesn't go off I plan to try some polarized light scans. I really appreciate yo...
@Christian Gassner I am interested in testing polarization. Are your filter holders 3D printed or purchased? If printed, I would love to have the .STLs you used. Also, I would like to ...
@Drew Shark I am so happy to hear what you had to say! The issues with single source lighting are exacerbated by the fact that the reflections are repeated at every stop, albeit on a differen...
Here is a rough texture that was created by scanning the Roly-Poly upside down to capture the bottom at about the same light level as the top. Two scan sequences and two individual scans were...
Thanks so much for the explaination and new example! Very Impressive! Since we do not have a RAW image available, simplly using a photo app to process cannot attain the results you are demonstrat...
At what stage do you currently capture the three images? Do you simply repeat the same scan three times at different brightness values? I assume adding HDR to the THREE would require a setti...
For most of the alignment, I used the reference markers. But, I did use Texture features to align the single bottom and top scans. Since I have a dozen Roly-Poly's purchased some years ...
Roly-Poly tins were popular in the 1900's as tobacco and candy containers. In terms of being a source for a 3D scan they have a lot of issues. The primary issue for most 3D scanners I t...
I am going to second a look at this potential solution to reflection of models for which scanning spray is just not appropriate. I have a collection of tobacco tins from the 1950's that will ...
A final note in this thread. While Meshmixer is not my favorite 3D application, it has one easy to use and important functionality for anyone doing 3D scanning. That is selection smoothing.&...
I think I have worked with Moment of Inspiration scanners for almost a decade. If any team listen's more to their base, I can't think of one. But, development is necessarilly iteritive,...
Nice work! As someone with a professional photo/video background, I am happy to see this post. While we have to remember that the cameras used in 3D scanners are video oriented, rat...
This is a screen capture of the Ring Staging system in use. Note that I replaced the rocker base for a pivot ball system that was less intrusive for the THREE scanner. Also, note the nu...
When I started this ring staging project, I set a goal of creating a copy of the 3D printed "ring" using the THREE scanner that was functionally exact in size and shape. I realized that the s...
I continue to optimize the design of the ring staging system. But, I have already proved to myself that this has been a worthwile project that is returning excellent results. The initia...
Quests are ALWAYS interesting! LOL! I was perplexed as I examined the THREE scans of the 3D printed ring I am using for testing and saw the surprising "ERRORS" between the peaks. This streak...
I should have pointed out that my test "ring" features 25 'facets'. This weird number was purposely chosen to make the math of selecting scan counts and angles more difficult. I spent s...
I can only say that with my limited tests on a very small object (20mm diameter) using 3d printed reference object, alignment has not been an issue of any import. The auto align with the THRE...
It dawns on me that having the reference objects side mounted might run afoul of depth of field issues. To test this theory when I get a chance to scan again, I have redesigned the reference ...
