      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....

        5 passes with easy 09 at 1024x786 (resized to 800x600some just under 12 minutes).

        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:

            That's very odd! You look like a giant boiled sweet! 😲

              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.
