Full Body Military/Weapon Scan

A friend and I made some scans wearing military gear and weapons. We plan to 3D print these scans for use in games like WarHammer/DND/etc.

Would also be cool to put these models in a VR game, though we’d need to do a T-pose scan lol.

Scanned with the Miraco Pro, Feature Scan - Dark Mode, High Accuracy.
About 30% was scanned with auto exposure and 70% with maxed exposure to pickup all the black gear and metal on the firearm.

Cleaned up in RevoScan 5

Unfortunately, you can see the motion blur — your friend didn’t stay completely still. It would be better to scan everything in a T-pose, like you mentioned, using a turntable or in general using a turntable, and later apply the desired pose in Blender. You could do that, for example, by recording a video and using OpenPose to extract the pose and bring it into your program, like Blender. (Called MoCap or motion capture)

Something like that:

The absolute best option for living beings would be a photogrammetry rig that captures many images at once. But unfortunately, that takes up a lot of space and also costs a bit.

Thanks for the ideas!

All things considered my friend did quite well, that firearm is quite heavy haha. I cleaned a bit of the motion blur up in RevoScan but it’s not a perfect process.

A turntable would be amazing, unfortunately that’s not in my budget and I don’t think I’d get enough use out of it to justify. Maybe I can find a used one or build one.

Thanks again for all the ideas, especially with creating poses in post from a t pose. I’ll definitely try that!
