The main difficulty with scanning internal organs is that they are soft and change shape when flipped, making it difficult to combine scans made from different sides.
The craftsman who created this feast for the eyes definitely put a great deal of effort into their work. So did Artec Space Spider and Eva, the two handheld 3D scanners which were used to capture everything down to the finest features of this geometry-rich object in order to make the 3D model look as impressive as the original work of art, inspired by Doom, the epic shooter.
A beautiful statuette made out of bronze, depicting two mythological creatures that symbolize divine powers in ancient China — a dragon and a phoenix, and between them a huge pearl.
A quick self scan of an eye. A very noticeable thing here is that Spider has scanned past the natural eye lens and captured the correct position of the iris.
Scanning this flower with Artec Space Spider was fairly easy — one just needed to be mindful of perspective change in geometry of the petals once the object was turned over.
This small and fragile skull of a desert fox was scanned with Artec Spider. While the model looks complicated, there were no challenging areas to scan.
A quick scan of hand bones with nails made with Artec Spider. The object was scanned in three passes over just 8 minutes and processed afterwards for 30 minutes.
This highly precise 3D model of a mid-size leather bag was made using 3D data from an Artec Space Spider and photogrammetry, with over 450 pictures taken during a period of 15 minutes.
This motorcycle was scanned with both Eva and Space Spider. Eva allowed for fast and easy acquisition of the overall shape, while Space Spider was used to scan the intricate geometry of the wheels and the sides.
The backbone and ribs turned out to be an easy job for Spider, since even though the model is geometrically rich, it did not contain any particularly hard to scan surfaces.
Product part made of plastic. Scanning time was around 5 minutes, and post-processing took about 20 minutes. This is a good example of fast reverse engineering.
This highly precise 3D model of a sneaker was made using 3D data from an Artec Space Spider and photogrammetry, with over 300 pictures taken during a period of 15 minutes.
Eva was used to scan the entire stone, resulting in a superb digital replica, while Space Spider scanned the runes themselves, for a deeper view of the engraving marks and the surrounding stone, after which all scans were combined into one final model.
This small turbine was scanned in three passes using a rotating table — this enabled the operator to easily capture all the curves from different angles with less hand motion.
