Start with a Scan: How I was able to integrate 3D scanning into my digital art
What I love most about Scandy Pro is the power, convenience, and speed. I can be anywhere and simply take out my phone, capture something in 3D, and the results are immediate.
As an artist and 3D enthusiast, Scandy Pro is a fantastic way to expedite my process. I can scan something and have it up on my SketchFab site or in 3D editing/rendering software in a matter of minutes. The ability to quickly scan objects and their textures on the go using my iPhone has become a super useful tool in my creative process.
I have always enjoyed the ability to take reference photos of people, places and objects with my phone but now I can actually collect reference models just as easily. Including useful color and measurement information. As a result I have quickly generated a growing gallery of scanned works and a library of reference shapes and models based on my scans using Scandy Pro and STL Maker. In Zbrush, I have a whole set of insert mesh models initially created from scans. The models are captured in accurate size measurements. So if I scan a few models separately, perhaps at different times, and then decide to kitbash them together into a new model the meshes are in correct size relationship to each other.
I think it’s a great solution for the technical task of scanning 3D models and making it into something very simple, fun, and accessible.
