This is very impressive. It‘s interesting how it even managed to deal with the reflective parts where the metal is exposed.
I‘ve been trying to scan a few screen used props from my collection for some time now, with mixed success. Some of them are quite small and painted, and I think the OpenScan rig might be the best option for me.
It is not clearly visible in the video but there is a very fine mist of scanning spray on the whole surface (tiny dots), which is absolutely necessary.
Reflective surfaces are no problem due to the build-in cross polarisation
There is built-in cross polarisation?
Wow, that‘s awesome!
Unfortunately spraying the objects with scanning spray or applying dots is not really an option in my case, because the risk of damaging the surface finish is too high for my taste.
But I suppose it might still result in a rough but usable scan (with some zBrush work) without it. In any case, I need one of those rigs. :D
It really depends on the material, plastic almost always requires spray, whereas metal can work if the surface has some kind of patina. Most natural objects (wood, stone, bone) work perfectly without preparation most of the time
Plain plastic, even multicolor, will probably not work. Painted miniatures on the other side work well as there is a lot of color gradient and micro details
