Darnell Williams notified us about this beautiful multi-volume reconstruction of a woman. The best part of it: it took less than 20 minutes from scan to render. Amazing! Here’s the result

In case you have a reconstruction you want to share with us – let us know by sending a mail to info@reconstructme.net.

Mark recently uploaded a scan of Doll made using ReconstructMe and ZBrush for texturing. The result looks amazing

Here’s his info text

3D scanning is usefull for reproduction & preservation. The model was scanned with the Asus Xtion Pro Live 3D Camera en processed live on a laptop with ReMe Software. Pictures were taken with a Nikon D700 for texturing in Zbrush. Using the Spotlight feature in Zbrush the textures were applied on a subdivided mesh and retopologized.

Mark posted a full body scan of Isabelle yesterday. Here’s the turntable animation video

I asked him for a statement on the required post-processing. Here is his full answer quoted.

[...] I’m impressed with the perfomance of ReconstructMe! Can’t stop scanning.

[...] After a few scans I found myself moving away from stiff “standard poses”, to more inspired ones, like a photographer would do. Its so much fun, scanning in 3D!

[...] Some post-proces info: I’ve applied smoothing here and there in Zbrush in addidition to Standardbrush adding – substracting to enhance the wrinkels in the clothing. Then scan was made with the “human” config settings, The face comes from a different scan.

Here are two more turntable animations of Isabelle

and Mark

The long night of research (in German “Lange Nacht der Forschung”) on Friday last week was a great success for PROFACTOR and ReconstructMe. We had around 300 people visiting and exploring our robotics, nano-tech and chemistry labs.

At the ReconstructMe booth we had a lot of fun reconstructing our visitors and enjoyed the in-depth discussions with potential users and developers. What really surprised us was how quickly people learnt to use this new technology to scan their family members.

We used the swivel armchair setup to speed up the reconstruction process and provided each visitor a personalized 3DPDF containing an embedding of their reconstruction. Here are two such samples: one, two (Acrobot Reader required to view the embedding)

Here’s a video made at the event

MagWeb uses mirrors to cut down reconstruction time to a third when compared to a standard walk-around turn. Here are a couple of images.

And a turntable video of the result.

In case you like to know more about how to do that, join our discussion.

MagWeb, has done another incredible stunning scan an open-top Fiat 500C. Here’s a video of a turntable animation of his results

MagWeb will post images later on in the newsgroup and we intend to provide the resulting CAD model, once we have resolved legal questions.
