3 D Scanner Cola scanner
Project with Saethor Vido based on the idea of the Milk Scanner . Since we didn't get the program to work on that site we copied the ideas based on our knowledge.
- Put item in container.
- Take picture (use tripod and keep the camera still)
- Pour fluid with contrasting color to the item, 0,5 dl
- Take picture after every filling until you have filled above the item.
- Use Gimp or other photo editor to increase contrast set images in monochrome
- Use Inkscape or other 2D Vector program to trace bitmap and turn it to vector.
- Save vector-images as .svg
- Open Blender
- Import each .svg file to blender
- Go to edit mode and extrude each .svg equally.
