3D Scanning Guy - Showcase - RANGE 2

Yeah, I mean at the moment Level 6 inside RS5 is like an Octree 10 Poisson Reconstruction inside CC… in fact I they’re almost identical, down to the “threadbaring” artefact on the front pocket of the hoodie, from too harsh oversampling.

I actually also tried it in CC at Octree 12 (see attached - on the right) which I guess is like a Level 8 in RS5, and is just a wee bit too far into the noise side for my liking. So Octree 11 in CC (with everything else at default) or a RS5 Level 7 is pretty much the perfect balance.

With almost all the other Revopoint systems, maxing out the meshing slider either to 6 or 7 works fine, but with the RANGE2, it’s just way too soft. I’m generating about 33M+ points from a full body scan, and processing takes that down to around 880K vertices on the poly mesh - I don’t want to lose all those points to “noise” filtering. I also don’t want a 1.5M poly mesh to work with, which creates it’s own aliasing artefacts.

I mean I get why they maybe went there - it’s the cleanest mesh with the least requirement for clean-up in post, and as I said in that last post, for some gigs you’d want that softer, less editing-heavy approach (like a bunch of background/crowd figures).

But I think it’s important to have the choice over having more detail/noise - because in this case at least… it needs it! I kind of feel it’s hogtying the RANGE2’s capabilities.
