Great to see! Interesting to see how the textures are stored, looks much easier to edit than if it was a crazy uv map all split up like you get with some other scanners. Do you think that they might be able to capture dark colours better in a software update? That's the biggest thing, aside form the excellent tracking, that I find gets me reaching for my otter.
I'm still experimenting with scanning various black objects, but their hardware is way ahead and there're room for improving the firmware if they would. It's the only one 3D scanner that know rotational axis position of the turntable in space. So, it requires no point cloud or marker tracking.
Yes, i know. But lot of professional structured light scanner allow to calibrate the rotation axis of the turntable by using eather calibration panel OR the surface of the object. They scan 3-5 images from the surface of the object, align the scans and calculate the rotation axis. You do not need to remove the object every time when the position of the scanner is changed. They should add this option from my pov. Does THREE support the use of markers?
If I change focus or knock the turn table a bit and not calibrate, the scans will not align on a rotation. Align with an object is not possible on this canner and it's not support marker tracking. How the scanner calculate for rotational axis position is very precise. I can even scan a beer can, and it will stich them perfectly both texture and geometry, seem like it doesn't need geometry to align.
It's really nice scanner and i like the small size. But for this price it's missing some really important feature from my pov. Hopefully they will add those features in later updates. But really great video and review!
Looks like they are on the right track, but I'm concerned with the limitations of the onboard hardware that struggled to handle more than a million polygon mesh without freezing.
Calibration is only necessary with the turntable. For single shot scans (even many of them, of the same target), no calibration other than the autofocus of the cameras is needed.
I think that's what this scanner is designed for, to be used with the turn table. It's the only scanner that know the position of turn table axis, so it can stiches each scan shots correctly.
great video
Thanks!

Nice! Calibration of turntable can be only done by using the panel? Is it also possible to calibrate the turntable by using the geometry of the model?
It has to be calibrated with known dimension and the calibration is mainly for finding the rotational axis of the turn table.

Yes, I really want to see the maximum polygon count model out of this scanner, I hope they can fix this issue.
No chance to use it without the turntable? If so, each picture must have a calibration process? Maybe I'm wrong

$900 Otter VS $2,400 for the Three.... Is the Three 2.6 times better scanner? Video shows its better but definitely not that much better. Nice video!
I think so too. I hope he does a larger scan with it. I want to see the workflow. Payo is something planned in that regard?
I'm not here to recommend which 3D scanner to buy; my goal is to show what the scanner can or can't do.
Would be interesting if creality implements a single shot mode
