        Neat - interested in hearing your experiences/seeing what the ouput (or input) looks like.

          OK. First object scanned, not to bad for the beginning. I opened it on sculptris and reduced the mesh. (Thank you)

          But I still have a problem of importing the .obj to SU. It still doesn't work

            I was sucessful by importing the obj to blender, so I exported it to 3ds and then I was able to import to SU 😎

            Here's the result:

            Not bad for the very first scan....

              Interesting hair style however. I do not know what causes it.

                Well, it seems to be the procedural marble material. Here is another version where it's more visible:

                    First weekend of testing this funny tool.

                    My idea was to build a 3D model of my wife. As I'm not good enough to model the shape by hand, the scanner in a good idea to build the ground shape.

                    Let's start with the object and the first scans:

                      In the next step the different scans can be grouped and the build the new shape

                      after that I opened the file in sculptris

                        here I have the possibility to smooth the surface and to reduce the mesh

                          as I still have problems to import .obj- files to su I opended the file in meshlab and saved it in the 3ds- format.

                          Then it was easy to import to SU

                          There I smoothed it again

                              I prepared a face- texture and applied it as a projection to the mesh.

                              I found some nice bodys at the warehouse and I took these things together

                                          Are you really that tall? You look a bit too scaled up.

                                            Jo-Ke,

                                            I liked your old (forum) avatar better.

                                            The scanning results are great, don't get me wrong, but now you look so severe while in the old one you smiled.
