It definitely needs the colors.  That grafted merc would have been a sight  to 
behold.

that’s why you have these white powder sprays to cover shiny/transparent 
objects and make a clean scan.
I once covered a brand new, very shiny, top of the line Mercedes with that – a 
bit like graffing it entirely in white :-) - it certainly gave a kick.
needless to say this is not a solution if you want to scan colors...

Fuel-3d Scanner

[Angus Davidson]

Was wondering if anyone on list has used the Fuel-3d scanner. We are looking at 
getting one for a project I am working on for my MA thesis.

Particularly with how good the texture maps are.

Re: fuel 3d scanner

[Francisco Criado]

Downloaded the models from their site and for that money is not the best on
the market...primesense carmine is also recomendable, or asus xtion...if
you have budget go for artec. Although new kinect for xbox one rocks, but
still there is no windows version available on the market...

Re: fuel 3d scanner

[Ed Manning]

The Fuel scanner looks nice, but I can't help noticing it doesn't exist as
a shipping product yet!  The sample scans look nice, but there's no way to
tell from what they make available on their site how much work is involved
in getting from raw scan data to finished mesh.  That said, if they can
deliver that quality at that price with reasonable ease of use, I might
want one too.

Re: fuel 3d scanner

[Francisco Criado]

If you want to begin doing tests on the fly, kinect and skanect are the
best choices. I am currently using them for scanning sets for later
reference on matchmoving and fx.
For scanning people is not the best but gives good results for extras in
crowds.
A simple example i made for human figure:

Hope it helps!

Re: fuel 3d scanner

[Nicolas Esposito]

I would suggest to try both Skanect and ReconstructMe which use Kinect ( so
3d data on the fly ) and Agisoft photoscan ( which extract 3d data from
pictures )

I've scanned some heads and, together with Zbrush and decimation
master/Zremesher, it gives pretty good results
Texturing wise I would go with Agisoft, both Skanect and ReconstructMe
lacks in texture quality due to the poor resolution of the Kinect camera

fuel 3d scanner

Has anyone used this scanner yet

We are looking at getting a hand held scanner that can give us a
reasonably dense mesh and colour textures.
