Hi all…looking for advice on scanning a full body real-life person in full color
I have used structured light scanners before and for scanning people, those are fine (just flashing lights). I have a Metro Y Pro coming soon and I also have an Inspire 2, and have a need for scanning some people, in full color. What is the best hardware/software combo to use to do this?
The Metro Y Pro has the full field scanning, but doesn’t that use the main laser technology? If so, that is a class 2M laser which is not the best for ultimate eye safety. Would it be best for detail to scan the body with the Metro Y Pro (with the user wearing goggles) then scan the face with something like the Inspire 2 that has a class 1 laser? (then could those scans be merged with full texture/color?)
The Full Field uses 1 M Class laser it is safe for the eyes .
How you going to scan a full person in color when only Auto mode ( for small objects ) uses color scanning . Other modes don’t have color modes.
MetroY Pro is not made for scanning full body humans , as the best results you get is scanning smaller sections of 1 m at a time , so even if you do scan a full body with Full Field , the size of the scan will be so huge that it will be automatic reduced in size to prevent crashing of your system while meshing .
I did scanned faces around 8 inches and it used almost 43 GB of RAM at full quality .
Thanks for the info! I will do some testing and if I have to go back to the expensive scanning software with my other scanner, I will do so.
Additionally, the Metro Y Pro only mentions a Class 2 laser, not Class 1 at the bottom of this page (Revopoint MetroY Pro: Wireless Blue Laser 3D Scanner)…do you know where it says the Metro Y Pro has a class 1 laser? I certainly don’t want to hurt anyone’s eyes!
Full Field and Auto mode is not a laser , it is blue light DLP same as Mini 2 class 1
Since it uses class 2 laser in the laser modes it needs the warning . The other don’t need any warning since it is safe .
You don’t going to hurt anybody with Full Field but make sure they do not suffer from epilepsy since flashing lights can be discomfort even for regular people .
@PUTV
Thank you for the Informations about the option to scan persons in Full Field mode.
One Question Regarding the file size:
Is there any possibility to reduce the Resolution before scanning to make the scan less RAM and File size hungry in Full Field mode?
Thank you.
You can’t reduce the resolution before scanning , but the RAM is mostly used while Fusing , so use the fusing at 0.2-0.3 mm to reduce the usage of RAM , if you get lower it will blow off everything you have at that size .
Save your project before fusing just in case before processing . Start from the head only and use only Full Field or Auto mode , when using Auto mode move slightly the subject in a rotating chair each time the frame is captured .
