Hi @johnchen
Very nice scan, looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Today I want to share the result of today’s scan.
It is a 20cm tall clay sculpture by me, I am planning to rework and scale this in zbrush and 3d print it.
Original MINI with Revoscan 5.4.9
I used a combination of turntable mode and single mode, this workflow really improves the quality of the scan by capture areas the turntable has missed.
Theres a bit of a learn curve using the single shot mode, but if you mess up a shot you can always use the UNDO button 
If you loose tracking, take a single shot of an area close to the missing area first, let it allign then slightly move the camera / object to cover the missing area. there should be some overlap.
Then take 4 - 5 single shots of that area while slightly rotation the angle.
The ONLY feedback to @Revopoint is to allow Mini users ability to mesh at a higher quality, so we can capture all the detail from the dense pointcloud, right now there is a quality difference between pointcloud → mesh, which would be improved by this method.
Here are some photos from revoscan
Raw mesh screenshot from zbrush, you can see under the head details captured with single mode <3

The meshing options depends of the size of the scanned object and total volume .
Recommend to remove everything from the scan in raw mode that is not needed , even some elements that was captured by mistake , reducing it to only the needed scan will help increasing the fusing and meshing capacity .
If you fused it at 0.08 , you should mesh it at Grid 0.08 if available , meshing it at higher values with not bring more details . It will only duplicate the point that can inject noises .
If the scanned model is bigger than predicted for MINI series what is above 15 cm , you may have lower meshing options to prevent the software from using all your available RAM while processing .
I had sometimes scans that fused above 32GB of RAM , meshing it at that level will require your system to have more than 64GB or RAM , if not it would crash .
You can still export your point cloud scan to Cloud Compare and use max settings like 12-13 for meshing and see desired results for comparison . In most cases all you get are just extra noise .
I had a long debate about it with the dev team when we build MINI prototype and functionality .

Great scans John !
Keep up the good work !

thats the thing I am seeing more detail in the point cloud, but the mesh density is not enough to capture it at highest level 6 setting, I understand its based on size, They should give option for higher quality meshing.
See my thread here for example.

I know John ,
The reason I wanted RS Pro version for those that have workstations that can handle this type of meshes .
That means at least 64GB of RAM to be safe .
Anything below will run out of juice quickly .
Follow the meshing guide I mentioned before , it was created this way on purpose without the need of eyeballing. Of is not enough based on the Grid , switch to CC until we get the higher settings available .

Well done! I am very glad that you like the improvement of RS 5. Regarding the feedback, Thank you so much for PUTV explaining the details to you.
