Congrats on your new toys Johnathan!
I am curious about the stabilizer now !
BTW something changed with the last firmware I could not scan outdoors with MINI anymore even if I used anti UVs light protection . I need to return back to my dark box scanning technique.
That’s interesting I wounder want they changed, and if they did it for a reason, maybe something to do with the RGB camera?
Would be useful if you could get them to fix that, i don’t think my mini had the earlier firmware you had I haven’t updated it
I guess it was the RGB camera that cause some of the latest issues with the software etc… the gain setting had to be adjusted in the software as well to be able to scan colors .
It was all perfect for my months before the RGB … but hey it getting there .
For me personally I care mostly about the 3D scanning results than textures and the scanning results improved above the testing units .
Now I can capture the textures as well and not only with MINI but also better with POP2 than before minus the outdoors scanning in the day times.
Something for something…
However I am glad I could help eliminate the major bugs and help improve the units and software . It is better already as it was planned to be and will keep improving.
Someone asked me early to scan a pineapple , I think it was @johnchen , but with MINI, however I did not wanted to waste the fruit and paint it over for the scan , since this kind of colors was really not scannable by MINI , natural waxy green and waxy yellows simply do not scan with MINI , so I went with POP2 , my first love for any situation …
I don’t know exactly what they did to the last POP2 firmware , algorithms and software but the textures are better than MINI in quality . MINI RGB color per vertex is still better than POP2 due to increased amount of vertex ( point cloud resolution)
I have it but the software is not ready yet , not even the beta version to tests it out , so we all have to wait
I suppose to test it 5 days ago , but nothing yet .
It took me a while but i finally read through all 479 posts in this thread. Thanks for all the info you’ve posted. It makes me excited to test out the pop2 for myself and see what I can create. I’ve noticed your process has changed a little with new updates, do you have a current workflow that you are following?
