Using a device to turn atoms into bits



What we are going to use is photogrammetry and infrared depth map.

3D Scan Workflow - KINECT
  • Prepare the acquisition scene
  • Perform scanning(Skanect)
  • Export model(STL, OBJ)
  • Repair mesh(Meshmixer)

    • Prepare the acquisition scene and scanning


    Repair mesh and creation


    Scan objects


    My Work

    The STL file export from Skanect, and then import into meshmixer

    I used Sculpt:Brushes:Refine to make the sculpture finer and better. Sculpt:Brushes:Flatten can be used to flatten the obtrusive part on the head, which was filled automatically in Skanect.

    Then I used Sculpt:Brushes:Draw to drag the existed part to become wings

    I don't know how to mend the gap...

    Though I know I try not to print in the air, it looks a little messy on the wings and the defect of wings seems to be amplified after printing. However, it looks wierdly beautiful.
