3D scanning is a a great tool, but in addition to manual modeling. The scanned data is a great place to start, but if you want to animate the item, or use it in any sort of realtime or near realtime application you will be replacing every single polygon using a mix of manual modeling work and other algorithmic tools. Raw scan data is a fantastic starting point but it's not an end to end solution.
- AndrewKemendo 10y ago* or use it in any sort of realtime or near realtime application you will be replacing every single polygon using a mix of manual modeling work and other algorithmic tools* Our product is real-time and "other algorithmic tools" are the basis for our work - and we have had fantastic unprecedented results. Raw scan data is a fantastic starting point but it's not an end to end solution. That is true for current COTS tools, but what we built has proven that we can get an end-to-end solutions for our problem which is opaque, non-reflective objects larger than a soda can and smaller than a vehicle. I know everyone on HN is the smartest ever and nobody here can see other people as making real shit but there are innovations happening. In this case the wide scale need wasn't there for innovation for a long time and now there is.
- TrevorJ 10y agoThat sounds fantastic and I look forward to seeing it hit the market. On the other hand, like you said, the state of the art for off the shelf tools isn't there yet so I think the snarkiness is kind of off putting.
