Hi Stephen, I am curious to why it does not work with transparent/shiny objects (havent really done any test with those kind of surfaces..). Do you mean thatthe calibration for the point cloud isn't accurate? what software & workflow are you using?

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Be aware that there is no Photogrammetry solution, that I have found that will deal well withtransparent and/or shiny objects. I do a lot of product modeling, from prototypes, and I havenot found any Photogrammetry solution that works better than taking front, side, top, and 3/4 view photos, and using the rotoscope function in my views. I have tried many. I am hoping that the new 3D scanning for ipad will be better, but it looks similar to other methods.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/occipital/structure-sensor-capture-the-world-in-3d I wish someone would come out with a 3D scanner that is based on sonar principles.Image based 3D scanning has so many issues. The laser scanners are nice, but haveissues with undercuts as well as transparent and shiny surfaces. If you do find a solution, that works well, please post back here.
