I tried an experiment last night

[DesignFlaw06]

My 2006 FJR Model


I thought it turned out pretty well. The overall goal is to print one and eventually paint it.


The program is Skanect and I used a Kinect for the XBox 360. The scanner gets goofed up with the clear windshield, which is why it is covered in foil. Only issue is that the free version of the program won't let you export a printable model in that level of detail. It only lets you export 5000 polygons and the scan is 2 million. Exporting to 5000 was good enough for a selfie, which I also did. But I'm not that complex of a person.

I'm not going to pay the $150 for the Pro version. There's another program called ReconstructMe that is free, but I wasn't able to get that one to work. Going to figure that one out and try the scan again I think.

very cool!

Dang, should have invested in some headlight protectors.

Cool stuff though.

Yeah, the next attempt I will tape the headlights up. It was late and I was too tired to try again. Next attempt will also have somebody helping me move the laptop and cords around. Really surprised I didn't fall on my face.

If I could export the model as is, I'd just fix the headlights in post. After I learned how to that is. I'm still a novice when it comes to 3D printing / 3D models. I've designed and printed some successful parts, but nothing as complex as this.

Still better than the look my wife gave me when she saw what I was doing.

Nice job!. Can you make it downloadable? It's looks set to "Display only"

I've got a friend that does this kind of stuff for a living. He scans in commercial buildings inside and out for remodels and works on the computer models. Here's something he did just for fun.

Note the detail...

Just found out my friend here at work DOES have the pro version.

Guess next week the '05 shed's her commuter clothes and dons full LD gear for her big shoot!

You have to tell me how this goes. I could only export the model to Sketchfab in full quality, but because it isn't the Pro version, it can't be set to downloadable.

I am anxious to see your results if you do your scan. Let me know how it goes.

There are a couple of fjr's out there, pretty freaky.
