3D Scanning large static objects.
Historically, 3D scanning of large objects has been frustrating for anyone trying to do it. Various technologies have been tried by industry professionals and have proved to be ineffective and even infuriating at times. Thor3D scanners were designed specifically to overcome those challenges.
The Thor3D scanner can scan a car, boat, plane, furniture, military tank or a large statue with ease. The scanner doesn’t lose its alignment during scanning (which is a frequent issue with other scanners) because it uses large markers to overcome this problem. The user spends a few minutes before scanning, applying these markers to the object and then quickly captures the item. Scanning this way, removes any doubt about the quality of the data, as well as makes the process of capturing effortless. Furthermore, traditionally, shiny and metal objects have been hard to scan, but that problem has been solved by applying Thor3D’s patented hardware and software technology.
3D Scanning humans.
Humans move and breath and wiggle. This makes it difficult to 3D-scan them. However, Thor3D makes capturing people a breeze because the scanning process takes about a minute. Most folks can stand still for that long and even if they move a bit, Thor’s powerful software algorithms can correct for those slight changes in shape.
To scan a person, ask your subject to pick a pose and to hold it. Take the scanner in hand and walk around him, capturing from every angle. Alternatively, you can place your subject on a rotating table (use the Thor3D turntable or any other available on the market) and move the scanner from the person’s head to his feet, as he spins in front of the camera. In this scanning mode, there is no need for markers and the post-processing is done automatically. And since the scanner is lightweight (1.8kg) and portable, you can take it to events and scan dozens of people in a day without needing a computer. The next day, at the office, simply finalize all the models and the job is done without hassle.
