In some cases it's possible to use the scan with a texture map as the custom object mapping method for the Solid or SubD. However you can get texture distortion at the seams of the solid due to how the objects are aligned. I'll look into this more with several models and make a new video if it works well. I generally will create a new Unwrap for the solid instead using it's edges as seams.
what exatly does a 3d scan mean in this senario ? to me it looks like youve take some sort of picture and loaded it into rhino is that whats happening ?
The low poly mesh I started with is a 3D model created from one of the many 3D scanning apps available on Apple and Android devices. Some of these apps can utilize LIDAR while others may use what is called Photogrammetry to assemble a 3D model from still images. Ultimately, many of the results you'll get from these apps will have issues and this workflow is a way to easily fix a scan mesh while also allowing for conversion to a NURBS solid if desired.
Brian, your Rhino videos are the absolute best.
Thank you
You're very kind, thank you! I hope this is a helpful workflow.
Brian, That Is Super Strong! Without A Doubt, You Are The Rhino King! Thank You For Sharing Your Rhino Alchemy!
Thanks!
Can't wait to upgrade and play the "secret sauce" !
Thank you!
Excellent!

Can we put the scan texture on our new nurbs model? If it is so, it would be even more amazing!

Wow, this is pretty much magic.
Indeed! Thanks :)
