Please make a tutorial on fixing meshes, you’re the only KZreadr I found who has been so helpful and clear. And you kept it interesting! You didn’t lose my attention once

I think this was for me one of the most enjoyable videos of 3d scanning. I didn’t even notice the length of the video. Bloody good job at holding my attention.

Subscribed. Unbelievably well-made video. Plus the info on how to get a scan of a head with 3DF Zephyr and painting specs on the model is really helpful and really important. Now I think I could do that finally. Imagine how many hours you have saved people times the number of people trying to do this and failing many times just like you did, but never documenting it like you did. Subscribed all the way. For life.

Tacky is only in the opinions of others and is none of my business what other people think of me. Just like it’s none of your business what other people think about you. Best advice I’ve ever heard.

I was hoping to get some tips, but this is a full-fledged documentary! Great video

the best video of 3d scanning of all time on youtube! thank you very much!

Ive learned so much from this video. Much more than what ive initially expected from the title. THANK YOU.

I formerly ran the rapid prototype lab at Sulzer Orthopedics. Now Zimmer. I used to create complex bone models from CT and MRI data that was translated to .STL. The technology used individual sheets of heat sealed and laser cut paper. LOM...Laminate Object Manufacturing. These models allowed the surgeons to plan the repair and replacement of old or traumatized joints before ever cutting the patient. It was quite an advantage to be able to see the bone before cutting was involved. That technology was primitive compared to today's 3-D modeling capability.

Awesome video. Would love to see a tutorial for turning digital elevation maps into 3d topo maps like you touched on.

Thank you for this gem of educational content. Im just a beginner to 3D printing and could learn alot from this video. Thx alot

Wow I didn't know this was possible. Thanks for the education. Also good to see that is not all just an instant success. It makes it easier to cope with my own trials.

Loved the video. The ring isn't tacky, it's cool, and it has history and meaning.

Gives a whole new subset of use-cases for camera's expensive and cheap. And skullrings definitely aren't tacky. Yours has an awesome story connected to it. Cheers man, thanks for sharing! Have a few coffee's on me!

The production cost is hight and at the end the result is not that great. Its easy to make a body with a thin plastic, but with a thicker plastics it's not the same. I dont have enought experience right now. But its going foward even with that covid19 virus. I also dont feel confortable salling the same body as traxxas. I also want to add that I started this project last September... perfections needs time. Thank you for your comments. Stay safe👍

THis video is the best video about 3d printers, scanners and softwares.

I liked your video very much. The details of the struggles to perfect 3D printing/reproductions has been a trial and error only a few understand. There were times when you would think it's not even possible but every little advance no matter how insignificant promised a perfect end result somewhere in it's future. From idea to tangible reality. Thanks for sharing! :-)

Really nice video! I like this tipe of video a lot, because you don't show how to do something but you share the tools to make them :)

the photogrammetry evaluations are hilarious!

Thx for doing this vid. Mos def about to download that app to capture items for 3D printing it.

To avoid different light (exposing time, aperture) and different imaging scale (distance to the object, can cause also focus problems) and shaking problems, there is one magic key: don't move the camera - move the object! (if it's possible to move...) Get a used pottery wheel or any other "carousel" where You can set the Object on (to turn it) and put the camera on a tripod! Take videos with different camera hights. The resulting video quality will be much easier to process! (To make Your photo series even more precise, You can also put some angle marks around the outer rim of the wheel - and put a hand (vertical piece of wire or piece of cardboard, duct-taped on the bottom beneath the wheel) that indicates the scale - so You can turn Your object in precise angled steps!)

If you looked through the video you would've seen that I tried that method, and it's not without its issues. Firstly the algorithm in photogrammetry programs is heavily helped by the environment around the object you're scanning. By understanding the environment it can more easily understand the position of the camera, which in turn helps to understand the shape of your object. One way which can be more successful is using a greenscreen (like in Niels Provos' video I show a snippet of in my video), but if your object isn't sufficiently detailed that method will also be less than successful. I would rather recommend you take images with varying distance to your object. If there are parts with higher detail it can be very beneficial to take closeups of that area. The software should not have much issue stitching that together. Also the use of a tripod is entirely overkill as long as you work in good lighting so you can have shutter speeds on your camera fast enough to eliminate motion blur from shaking the camera. Finally I would not recommend using video for your scanning input. Even 4K video is lower in resolution (and more compressed, thus less detailed) than the photos even the simplest consumer digital cameras can take.

Lovely and quiet helpful video, thanks a lot

Essentially it's triangulation. The program compares similarities from different photos, understands that what it's looking at are the same things, but in different positions. Then it understands (heavy simplification) from the changes in position where the camera ought to have been in relation to the object, and from there can reconstruct the geometry of the object. In theory it's simple, in reality it's far more complex 🙂

Very impressive presentation! Thanks! I learned from you! Thumbs up!

Honestly I think that’s the wrong approach. The time required to scan a face and to adapt a 3D model to fit it properly would be far better spent in printing generic masks (in perhaps a few sizes) and rather thinking about the sealing interface material between mask and face. A soft and flexible material that fits against the face would be a better option, and would easily allow the masks to work on many different facial types. This also eliminates the uncomfortable hard plastic resting directly against the face.

@SwitchAndLever

4 жыл бұрын

Oh, I think it's a worthwhile goal, I just don't think that 3D scanning, especially through photogrammetry would be the right approach due to the amount of manual post work you would need to do to even have a workable mesh to work with. The scale of the imported material won't be correct either, so you would have to compensate for that for each and every person you scan. In the amount of time you customize and print one mask for someone you could've likely printed ten masks that are not personalized.
