what amount of software post-processing is allowed? Can we use GOM Inspect (free), or do we need to do everything in Revoscan 5.0?

[Scan2Model]

or CloudCompare …free

The contest is for a future Beta Tester position using RS5 and new device that knows well how to work around in Revo Scan 5 to be able to test future products and give a proper feedback, so your RS5 skills are very important .

Post processing are allowed but the original scan project and the Revo Scan 5 workflow will definitely give you an extra points and boost in the competition.

To prevent cheating ( using other scans or photogrammetry ) Revopoint will ask for the original project and scan files made by the winners .

Hi! Is this your final result? Consider rule 1 “Each participant can only submit one scan result. If multiple results are submitted, only the first one will be considered”

@Sheeter you can always update your final image of your scan in your post before the end of the contest , the judging will starts once the contest is final and thread closed . So keep updating your currently entry as you progress .

I’ve tried scanning sofas and chairs many times, but it doesn’t work at all. I would like a tutorial video showing the actual scanning process.

[ivan]

Or you share a video of you scanning a furniture you have difficulties with to better understand you problems?

Scan partial elements and merge them later into one object , scanning furniture of this type at once is rather difficult task.

That why the challenge is for , if that was easy , there would be no challenge

So for my first deep dive using a Revopoint scanner I figured I would give this a go! Setting up the software on my android and pc was simple enough and was off to scan in no time.

One thing I noticed right away was with the way I was trying to scan I kept getting tracking issues, so I decided to break it down in multiple scans and merge them together. And that helped overall in getting a better result but still had a few errors with wrong overlapping points.

A quality of life improvement on that point though and maybe its a setting I didnt see but is there a way to select multiple projects on a phone and send to PC? I had to do it one by one and type the send code for each project to send over which was not fun.

Overall, I thought the software was easy to use. I definitely need to learn some more though to fix my errors and fine tune my approach to scanning. But I liked the way certain parts came out and now just need to get better at it, Off to scan some more!

[Sheeter]

Finally finished! I scanned my Ergohuman Mirus with Range, but without texture as my chair is made off mesh and thus is semi transparent for the RGB camera.

Scanning was done in Revoscan and even though the software had improvements and the scanner’s got bigger fov than before, it still wasn’t a cake walk to get to this result. Besides the bottom and backside of the chair I kept losing tracking on the other sides, as a remedy I put my black pants that had a similar IR absorbence and that helped tremendously with feature tracking. I first tried using my marker cubes but the marker mode didn’t work with high gain.
The seams visible on the seat are the results of joining multiple scans of the seat (I had to move the pants to get other scans, right?). And the backside for some reason didn’t want to scan besides the frames which caused that blob… For everything but the stand I used “dark” scanning setting at 7 gain, the stand was sprayed and scanned at “big object mode”, 4 gain.

Unfortunately the processing of the scans had to be done elsewhere. Revo-suite is still much inferior to any other option because it’s both very unoptimized and the tools are badly designed. I only ended up using a few point filtering options there and then moved to Meshlab to clean the scans from my pants and other stuff, then I aligned them with the “rough alignment” method which is much easier and faster than markers. With the aligned mesh I moved to Meshmixer to do final fixes on the surface, I removed some holes and smoothed out uneven surfaces - final result and photo reference can be seen below.

Hello @Teerawat I can read you … Over

[mikefish]

Wow, that’s really clever, nice job!

[PleKes]

For furniture scanning challenge I choose this thin feature chair, for this case often find tracking lose problem that many encountered and I have a solution to overcome this problem by using markers on clear tape and wrap them around object- now I can scan this chair with ease and accurately. Markers and clear tape will be disappear and leave with only a nice scan, scanner can scan through clear tape.

[PleKes]

Thank you it take me several try to get a hang of it.

My scanned 3D model can be viewed here at sketchFab:

A hosting chair of my dining furniture set was scanned with a RANGE 3D scanner and Revoscan v5 software. Pointcloud data has been aligned, cleanned up and meshed using Revo Studio. I first planned to use the markers for good scanning, but the chair is large and would take many markers to be enough points needed. I changed to use the feature tracking instead. It was very challenging to scan areas with flat surface without any features. After a half day of experimenting, I found the best way to scan my chair in a sequence each time to include as many as features and overlapsed areas for alignment needed in the post processing with Revo Studio. The RANGE scanner is good for this large chair and the colors including red, gray, scattering black pattern on the fabric. There were issues with tracking when scanning in a certain motion patterns while holding the scanner. It was a great learning for me in order to get the results of this full size model. In the future, I will share some videos for successful scanning using RANGE scanner. Below is the photo of the chair I used for this scanning challenge.
