Do we have a 3d scanner, or is there a member who might be up for bringing one in for a show and tell? I know John B with 3D604 has/had a Kinect-based one, but that is the only one I’ve ever seen in use
I’ve got a Kinect and a Structure 3D scanner…both (can) use Skanect to scan (I’ve got the Pro edition which came with the scanner). I’ve also used ItSeez3D (iPad app that requires the Structure) to do quick scans of objects or people (in full color).
You can also just use AutoDesk’s 123D Catch app and literally any camera (even a smartphone) to scan objects/people for free without hardware. All the heavy lifting is done in the cloud.
