      Yes I think so, except one thing, they all cost a lot more!

      I was really impressed by the quality of "The Elements" app for the iPad. I'd love to get that kind of quality- and in colour too!

              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....

                    Nice first scan indeed. Trying my hands out on it with Twilight ATM

                      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
