3D Scanning for 3D printing and VFX | CR-Scan Ferret Review

[@shitshow_1]

Thanks man, I was really looking for a 3D Scanner hardware to do Photogrammetry for my 3D animations

[@GDM1787]

Yes! Making the 3D scan video editing would be super helpful! Thanks.

[@dysfunctional_vet]

my dad told me that in the second world war, he did work at a dod film location where they had cases of johnson spray wax which they used to dull reflections from the lighting. he was an electrician assigned to the project, not otherwise involved with the films made during the war

[@kendokaaa]

There are products that do exactly that specifically for photogrammetry. Some even sublimate over time so you don't have to clean anything afterwards

[@1gman858]

Well done video! Both content and narration. Nice work, excellent review. Keep on!

[@3DSage]

Thank you for saying that! :)

[@RafiKuruvani]

Yes! 3D scan video editing would be super helpful!

[@christianholderith7611]

Great video! Very helpful....I just ordered the Ferret for some of my projects and can't wait to get started next week!

[@avgbeartn7431]

Great video! I pre ordered the Ferret. After having it a month, I was disappointed. I was disappointed so much I requested and received a return authorization. Your video has encouraged me to try again before sending it back. Thanks for the video. I would also be interested to see the tutorial you mentioned if you decide to make one.

[@3DSage]

I recommend trying the tricks I talk about and really focus on good lighting and clean your camera lens so it's nice and sharp. I hope you get the same results I did!

[@cekuhnen]

What did you not like with the Feret? I got the Mole and Lynx and feel both are junk honestly very limited in usability and I get significantly better scans with 3D photogrammetry. But the feret is appealing to me

[@3DSage]

@@cekuhnen I'm glad you get good results with photogrammetry. Overall, I like the feret. I am still using it. I think there is a technique and learning curve with lighting, stabilization, speed, and it seems like not everything can be scanned. The surface material matters. I am pretty impressed a small attachment and phone app allows me to capture 3D objects with textures so quickly.

[@cekuhnen]

@@3DSage That it is phone based is what makes this more user-friendly to me than the Mole or Lynx scanner. I will get the Feret pretty soon. It seems very good for scanning larger objects like a chair, couch, or car part.

[@laftq]

Looks Cool!

[@honzaled]

It's great to see someone use the Voodoo 3D tracking software. It's old, but it can track almost anything very well. I discovered it a while back and I use whenever I need to 3D track a scene

[@nagacharan11]

Awesome! Can you show some human body parts scanned with Ferret? Like closer look of hands and foot?. Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks

[@NeUrOmAnCeRAI]

Have you tried using polarized film on the camera to prevent reflections?

[@chrisholt3412]

Thanks dude, that was a great video. Keep up the good work

[@Logicatube]

I didn't know this was possible! 😮 this is very cool!)

[@nsvaluto48328]

Yes I be curious on instructions on the visual animation

[@mottie85]

Very cool. And Photophysical.

[@christianblinde]

A Tutorial about the shoe vfx would bei fantastic!!

[@3DSage]

I might do that! :)

[@bioman1hazard607]

Nice vid, you should scan an environment to make a level in unreal or godot

[@anhthy127]

So appealing to watch!

[@artur_ku]

awsome device. I'm using Artec Eva that so expensive and need power 220v. Now I will buy this tiny monster

[@aaronpiper5150]

Great vid! How did you get Reality Scan software to export the scan with color? For some reason I can only get it to export STL, OBJ or PLUY and none of them have color textures

[@destronia123]

Great advice! Do you have a link to the 3d model of that pedestal stand you used?

[@3DSage]

I can share the file on thingiverse but you would need the same tripod so it fits. I can also design a universal stand.

[@destronia123]

@@3DSage Thanks, that would be great when you have the time. :)

[@JUMPLUFFFDS-bt3hn]

@@3DSage Hello please release new update Minecraft gba

[@akaiphone]

have you tried printing a face or head? the pop2 allows you to change the position of the object and continue scanning to get the under parts, does this one do the same? great review.

[@3DSage]

I scanned my friend so he could print it like his hands, leg, and head for 3D printing costume parts. If the object has great clear distinctive features, you can pause, rotate the item and the scanner software figures out the new angle. But this is tricky and hard to do. Best to start the object on thin stand from the beginning.

[@joeking433]

Is this the Ferret Pro or the regular Ferret? And what is the difference?

[@georgeaura]

Very cool

[@3DSage]

😎👍

[@veesoho93]

Amazing video ! Thank you !

[@kleberbombeiro1]

Using Ferret to scan a person, when it reaches 2001 frames it shows a screen to confirm the term. It is not possible to pass this point. A doubt, to scan a person is it better to use texture than geometry? It seems to me that on my cell phone the high resolution does not activate.

[@trenthm]

I love your videos!

[@monacocross4241]

mate you recomented this scanner or need some buy beter ? thanks

how can you scan inside of your shoe?

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

Maybe fishing line instead of string?

[@3DSage]

Good idea! :)

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

@@3DSage im looking at getting one of these scanners. I do restorations of older 2 stroke Sea-Doo skis and I got my Ender KE printer to dip my toes into 3D printing some parts for them. But theres this Nylint toy plastic Sea-Doo ski that i want to scan and make some 3d printed models of to sell to enthusiasts. Im hoping i can do that with this scanner. I have some questions if you dont mind. 1. Whered you get the lazy susan turntable and the green screen material? 2. When scanning something with other stuff around, like on the lazy susan, how do you avoid scanning that stuff. Like if I'm outside scanning something large, how do you avoid scanning other stuff in? 3. Do you have to clean up the stl meshes? What program do you use? I have a small part i actually scanned using my paper scanner to get the basic shape then turned it into a vector svg and made it into a 3d image but its a messy mesh. Im trying to chamfer the outer corner edge and i cant because of the messy mesh. Thanks for all your help. Im subscribing

[@profutzer]

photogrammetry is probably still the superior choice these days..I have tried many of these scanners and have yet to see any of them produce results much better than photogrammetry.

[@sourinbhandrary6456]

This Scanner have any dextop software.

[@Wmoore1]

How am I supposed to pull the scan from my phone and why is it not intuitive...?

[@3DSage]

This app shows the saved scans with a 3 dot share icon to save to your google drive. Then you can login to drive with your google email and download the file to your computer.

[@Wmoore1]

@@3DSage scans are too big to be sent over email and my Google drive always says waiting for network. I guess I have phone problems and not app problems.... Lol. Thanks

[@Aka_Mao_]

incredible ! it's very cool ! (and a very very good video !)

[@mrjumaatsamian]

I love how when you remove the diode and the radio just Ah.....

[@lucidu4euh]

This looks great :) I’ve only done a few simple tests with photogrammetry (years ago, a lot has changed) but I’m wondering what advantage this offers over using a digital camera or my phones camera in conjunction with existing photogrammetry software?

[@identiticrisis]

The results look on par with the best I've achieved using my phone camera and free software. The capture process seems to be much more fluid and offer great feedback with the creality though. That should take a lot of the guesswork out of getting started, and progression should feel quite natural. There's no word here on how long the processing takes.

[@SK83RJOSH]

The main benefit of this is that it uses many infrared beams to measure distance. Which helps not only with tracking and scanning, but it also guarantees that your object is precisely scaled to the correct size. Moreover, it can take far fewer images of the object, only snapping one when it's moved enough to provide a reasonable increase in scan quality meaning there's much less work for your phone to do when calculating the final mesh.

[@SK83RJOSH]

​@@identiticrisis because it's pretty much instant. It uses infrared beams to measure distance, and not expensive tracking algorithms. There's a short processing step at the end of the scan to optimize the mesh and fix up errors; but it's really not very significant - you'll spend more time removing supports from the model in blender than you will waiting on that.

[@identiticrisis]

@@SK83RJOSH pretty much instant and short processing step implies _not_ instant, though. Can you be more precise about how long it takes?

[@TimothyCareyDV]

Is the rotating platform included

[@3DSage]

No I found that on Amazon. There are many options.

[@gracy68]

Very good, this looks great

[@toms2oo8]

Do you know how this holds up to something like the 'Qlone' app? From what I can tell that seems to appear better in some scenarios but not like I've tried either myself.

[@SK83RJOSH]

I don't know for certain, but I imagine Apple's sensors are likely a bit better than Creality's - and the resolution is likely very high if you use the front sensor vs. the back sensor. So it's likely that the edge is in Qlone's favor, especially if it can use the front face scanning sensor for scans, but even if not the better quality sensor and very mature software is likely to win out I'd think. With that said, I'd buy this purely because I don't want to spend 6x the price of this device for an iPhone. I like my Pixel too much, and I'd prefer a dedicated device for this personally! :)

[@joeking433]

Qlone app got awful reviews from what I've seen. Kiri and Widar got good reviews.

[@Joelmelanie]

I don’t reach the quality as in your video, doesn’t work with iPhone or you need a very expansive android.

[@joeking433]

He probably used a $10k scanner, LOL!

[@megadisc1982]

thanks for sharing

[@ianbowie8121]

How much does this cost ?

[@TheRealFrankWizza]

I hope the come out with a linux version of the software. Now I am using meshroom, this is different and looks better.

[@lulamix445]

m i only one that noticed mistake in slicer at 06:20

[@3DSage]

I think it printed fine. Could have been a viewport error in the slicer that would have gone away if I zoomed in more.

[@rovertext]

Hello phone model?

[@MakotoIchinose]

Shipping it overseas may double the price, but holy smokes, this is very tempting as someone who also dabble with (real time) 3D graphics and dreaming of photoscanning things around me for assets. And from what I read, it apparently works with Android phones as well, and it would be great because current mobile photogrammetry apps are iPhone exclusive (due to its cameras)

[@redone823]

Move over to the states to save on the doubled pricing. 😉

[@kleberbombeiro1]

Para funcionar no celular Android, precisa ter uma porta usb-c 3.0 ou superior. Com 2.0 não irá funcionar. O telefone com preço mais baixo que tenha porta 3.0 que encontrei aqui no Brasil foi o Moto Edge 30 Fusion, que esta na lista da Creality.

[@meischke]

i came to see what will be better than photogrammetry ... but unfortunately it is worst that anything I ever scanned, even as a beginer few years back

[@swiftdetecting]

interested

[@c.rutherford]

Having owned a Ferret, I've found its utterly useless and doesn't even remotely work unless you have a phone with a USB 3.0 port and 8 gig of memory. Even the new Motorolas don't have this, so double check this beforehand if you want to scan with your Android. And forget Linux if you want to use a desktop or laptop instead, its Bill Gates friendly only. I have managed to get a scan after finding a PC with Windows, and the picture looks great but the surface is all bumpy on the edges and there's no bottom?
