Andrzej Goryl
Case1: Andrzej Goryl's 3D Facial Scanning Experience with Ferret
For our Christmas holiday contest, Andrzej Goryl embraced the challenge of 3D scanning his own face using the Ferret scanner. Key steps included:
- Software Settings: Object Normal/Size Medium/Feature Geometry/High Quality/Texture Color
- Eyes Scanning Technique: Initial focus was on the eyes, requiring zeyes to remain open and unblinking for 3-5 seconds. This process was repeated 2-3 times to capture the intricacies of the eyes.
- Facial Scanning: Following the eyes, the scan proceeded to other facial areas, deliberately avoiding the eye region to prevent distortion. Each facial section was scanned a minimum of 2-3 times, ensuring thorough coverage and enhanced detail.
- Maintaining Stillness: The model had to remain still, avoiding any facial movements during the scanning process.
The process, while demanding precision and patience, led to the creation of a highly detailed and accurate 3D facial model. Andrzej's experience serves as a testament to the capabilities of Ferret scanner in capturing complex human features and the importance of careful technique in 3D scanning.
¶ Case2: Family Portraits Made by Yoann Bouchard Using Ferret
Yoann Bouchard
Yoann Bouchard utilized CR-Scan Ferret 3D scanner to make a groundbreaking approach to family portraiture. Portraits are approximately 6cm tall, printed in 0.2 layers. Yoann's methodical approach employed the following settings and techniques:
Software settings: Large Size/Geometry Mode/Fast/With or without colors
Light Source: Utilization of ambient light, ideally non-contrasted for consistency. Activation of phone lights to enhance clarity during scanning.
Scanning Distance and Duration: Maintaining a distance of 1-2 meters. Swift scanning process to minimize the chances of involuntary model movement.
Scanning Process: Initiating with the face to capture the most expressive features first. Avoiding multiple scans of the face to prevent capturing different expressions.
Additional Tips: Advised against scanning with glasses. Instead, take a reference photo and integrate it later into the 3D model.
Yoann Bouchard's application of Ferret in family portrait scanning showcases the technology's capability to create detailed and high-quality models.
