My scans on this piece will be working fine until it comes around to the front. Once it comes around it just goes on this long run way passed the parts actual ending. It acts like it is losing tracking but it shouldnt be with the base and the markers on the object. I have it in standard accuracy mode, feature tracking and general. It is a mini scanner. It doesn’t matter if I use the turn table or by hand if im rotating around. I did it with the dots and without the dots. Same thing happens. I have tried dr schuls powder and that didnt work well here. So I put on this masking tape and it works well except for the front. I had to put all the pictures into one picture because i can only upload one at a time because im a new member.Thanks in advance.
You are not using marker mode
Hi @Hessey0788
You need to put the markers in an unique pattern to make it easy to track.
This type of object need to be scanner in a marker mode because the object don’t have any features, so feature tracking mode will not works here with this object.
Put the object in the middle of the turntable , stick markers on it with unique pattern, marker mode and you ready to go.
So I tried that. It worked slightly for a one scan and now it wont detect any of my markers.
. I think this is why I quite messing with the scanners back when they were new. I backed the mini and the range. Have the big and little turntables and everything. The range seems to work fair for bigger things. This mini just has not cooperated at all with me. Not for action figures, car parts, or just about anything. This is currently what its doing. It sees the markers on the left side and heats them up with exposure. How ever main screen nothing. I have replaced markers nothing. Cleaned the table with new markers nothing. I just don’t understand. If it has markers I thought it was to be able to recognize them and the pattern. Then scan from there as long as it kept picking up new markers while some of the old were still in view so that it could keep referencing its scan points. Any help will be appreciated.
Hi @Hessey0788
According to what I see on your screenshots you should have no issue scanning it using Marker Mode .
There is only one thing left, recalibrate your scanner using the latest software you are using . And also increase the Scanning Distance to 250 mm
If still issues after that please contact customer@revopoint3d.com for direct technical assistance and evaluation of the hardware.
@xile6 if you look in the picture it says under tracking mode: marker tracking. So unless im mistaking it is in marker tracking mode. Thanks for trying to help though.
I have tried changing the scanning distance as well to no luck. I don’t know if I ever calibrated it to begin with. I don’t recall that being a thing when they first came out. Maybe I just over looked that. Hopefully that will help. Thanks for the advice.
The calibration worked wonders ![]()
. Now all the sudden it works like a lot of the advertisements. Thanks for both of your inputs assistance.
That is great
, regarding the scanning distance I mean the distance of the scanning rage in the app and not the distance between the scanner and the object.
Mini have s very small FOV so higher range distance will cover more area of the scanning model.
Happy scanning !
Says feture mode in your first photos before my reply.
Looks like you have now placed it in marker mode
Yes the the first screenshots was in Feature mode , but @Hessey0788 reply was to the second screenshots.
Anyway calibration was the major issue in both modes ![]()
