Yes, it’s coming soon.
I would suggest to check out this thread for the great offer : MIRACO and MIRACO Pro Trade-in Offer for MIRACO Plus
thank you for this offer i won’t use it personally but it’s a good gesture for the community

My first test run results with the Photogrammetric Metrology Kit :
I have prepared a car by a light coat of scanning spray and applying markers and targets as suggested by the manual, actually a little bit more spaced out. Still I used up all the targets and bars that were in the kit.
When taking the photos I did it with my old habits and methods I had when I did photoscans, and it worked out perfectly fine. I want to add here that all the photos were shot in a very dark warehouse, closed door, no windows. Shot 481 photos so it took a good while for the miraco to calculate this, but the phtotgrammetry part worked pretty good.
I did scan the car in a panel by panel basis.
So far i did not have time to fully process the data yet, but I wanted to show some partial scans right from the miraco itself, some preview resolution screenshots:
Some aligned scans:
These will look pretty good once fused to high detail.

Done with the post processing of the scan data on this S14 Silvia.
Overall I feel the miraco plus and the photogrammetry kit is a big step forward at revopoint.
I hope you like the result!
You can ckeck out the model on sketchfab:

I made a printable storage box for the photogrammetry kit coded targets that you might find useful too.
It lets you store the targets without them bunching up and fits inside the kit’s briefcase inside the net pocket. Thin enough that it does not put pressure on the scale bars.

Nice one Lajos , thanks for sharing !
Hello @lajoosh , thanks for that model!
Am I allowed to share this also on printables.com to the community with a link to this site here as reference to you? Or will you do yourself?
What kind of License should I use? Would suggest: CC BY-SA 4.0
Thanks again for designing and props for sharing.

Maybe it was obvious, but I just noticed the actual scanning portion only seems to use markers for tracking, not the codes. Is that correct?
Correct.
The coded targets are also just points in general, so as with other scanning modes, it is not a huge deal if some of them is missing during scanning, if theres enough of them to track well.
However in this case you will have a good bunch of them missing and since the markers should be spread out as much as possible on a large object like this, those coded targets would surely be missed for tracking those areas. To prepare for this in advance, instead of spacing the coded targets as if they are replacing a regular marker dot, you have to first apply the marker dots as if you are doing normal marker tracking scan or global marker scan and only then apply the coded targets inbetween the marker dots, so you will still have full coverage after removing the coded targets.

The coded markers are only for stabilization and references using the first step of photogrammetry , it makes sure the actual markers do not shift out or give false reading .
I tested stuff on objects that do no had any markers on it , yet were captured with precision where the only measurements were the table top. It is great to capture stuff that were impossible to capture proper without markers .
It is like you mix photogrammetry with global markers together for more accurate results .

I appreciate this information. My impression from the materials was that the codes were primary and the markers were additional to fill in gaps.
Your advice to start with markers was helpful!
