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 .
