Thanks bantha:
I figured someone here had probably tried it. Yes I noticed that you get only one angle at a time. There was a section on shape fusion in the manual for combining the different angles. I will have to check out silo and it's tools for retopo. Right now all I have is Max, ZBrush and 3D Coat. 3D Coat has some good retopo tools but not very fast.
I hope this works well, it would be a great resource to have various full body scans of various different people. Maybe I can hire some of the college students to stand still for me for awhile:) Even just for shapes to build on. And scans of hands and feet would be good too.
Also I was wondering if I might be able to find anatomically correct scale models of various animals to scan. Cars, boats all sorts of things. It could be very usefull.
I have an idea for setting up an automatic scanner, all I would really need is a track mover like they use for some lighting :) and set that up with the laser. A dark room with asuitably sized backdrop and I should get a decent full body scanner.
Cheers,
Mike.
