Scan Preparation

Before scanning, please refer to the following scanning requirements and make the necessary preparations to enhance your scanning experience.

Markers Placement

When scanning using Marker Alignment or Global Markers, markers need to be placed on the object to be scanned in advance.

  • Please note the following requirements for placing markers:

    • Place markers evenly and randomly.
    • Do not use damaged or incomplete markers.
    • Do not place markers on surfaces with high curvature.
    • Do not use dirty or contaminated markers.
    • Place small markers on edges of models or small areas.

Portraits

  • Please note the following requirements for scanning portraits:

    • Hairstyle: Keep hairstyles neat and avoid loose strands or bangs; comb hair before scanning.
    • Clothing: Avoid wearing reflective clothing; do not wear accessories or glasses that may cause reflections.
    • Posture: Since the person should remain as still as possible during the scanning process, choose a comfortable and easy-to-maintain posture before scanning.

Note

For portrait scanning, please scan the face first and try to complete it in one go to avoid alignment errors caused by muscle movement or blinking.

Objects

  • Please note the following requirements for scanning objects:

    • For scanning transparent, shiny, or reflective objects (especially those with black reflective surfaces), use washable or vanishing scanning spray.

    • For objects lacking surface features or with repetitive features:

      • Place markers on the object's surface and select Marker Alignment mode for scanning.
      • Randomly add rich geometric features on or around the object's surface and select Feature Alignment mode for scanning.

Note

Types of objects unsuitable for scanning:

  • Soft material object that cannot be hung.
  • Lattice structures with many small deep holes.
  • Moving or shaking objects. Frequent coordinate changes will lead to a poor scanning quality.
