3D Scanning with XBox 360 Kinect and Skanect

[@rabidbobcat1621]

Still works 2023

[@fxsrider]

I have had everything needed to do this for years. Finally getting around to experimenting with it. Thanks for making the video. Everything else I found was 2012 or earlier.

[@duediligence791]

Same. Kinects now $10 wherever you find them lol

[@antonellimarco81]

Hi. I'm balancing buying a second hand kinect xbox360 to use as scanner. I basically need to scan rough geometry of wings for models so I do not need detailed scanning and I would go for the free version of the sw, but I have 3 doubts I hope you can help me with 1) object dimension won't be proportional one to each other... let's say 1500x400x50 mm...would it be a problem? 2) surface to be scanned is carbon fiber (any experience scanning this materials?) 3) I would get a spheric 360 scan. Is it possible to flip the object during the scanning process, either I have to do two scans to be marged with a cad sw? Thanks in advance for your support and congratulations for the tutorial.. very well done

[@rezaemami1]

Which one works better for scanning--xbox one or 360?

[@MrWindowsR]

Did you find the answer?

[@T_Faded]

Can I use this to scan myself?

[@EpIcHoBoGuY]

i recently stumbled across something called Nyko Zoom which is a lenses for the kinect that reduces the range by 40% so that people with small rooms could use the kinect im going to give it a go and hopefully it should allow me to get closer to smaller objects although not too small without it complaining

[@mattcg149]

So.. did it work?

[@EpIcHoBoGuY]

@@mattcg149 yes it did and i was right you still cant go all that small but it is better, i moved on from it after having great results with photogrammetry tho

[@memphetic]

@@EpIcHoBoGuY What software have you tried for photogrammetry?

[@levistrnad2965]

the page for the driver doesn't show it supports windows 10, is there one I can get for windows 10 or is it even required then?

[@pcphoenix123]

I thought the Kinect for Xbox One had significantly better resolution than the one for 360

[@BOOOMCHIPS]

After doing some scans with the Xbox one Kinect and being disappointed, I borrowed my brothers 360 Kinect and Skanect wont detect it. T^T

[@timberlock]

Tip: While you are trying to scan a small object, make the bounding box smaller and use a smaller table. When the table is much bigger than the object, SKANECT thinks that the table is the subject. And when you use a perfectly sized table, you can get closer to the object while staying at the sweet spot of SKANECT.

[@chantal.milani]

I have some problems installing: I installed Skanect I installed Sdk 1.8 Linked to USB Run Skanect Unfortunately ... "sensor unavailable" (the green link on the xbox360 is blinking) I have a Win 64bit i7 notebook with Geforce 920M. How to solve? Thanks in advance.

[@onoteczero783]

Do you have video for scanning human full body?

[@jimmysando99]

So what is the verdict? Should I buy an Xbox One or 360 Kinect? Cheers mate!

[@oswaldodegeminis]

I have the same question

[@WrathOfVaz]

Same!

[@JJ-vp3bd]

did any of yall get one

[@MrWindowsR]

Did you guys find answers?

[@russelltiley1091]

Hi how much light do you need for it to pick up the scan please

[@ScottSchwerman]

Helps if you use a 3D scanning spray, especially on reflective items.

[@charleshines5700]

129 is not too bad of a price. There are people who pay a lot more than that just for their scanners. I know that 3D scanning can be really expensive.

[@Itsjessep]

I have a old 360 Kinect and I’m wanting to try 3-D scanning, would you still recommend the software and method?

[@djericanthony]

I don’t know if it’s my lighting or shakey hands but I get crappy results and lost tracking. I want to be able to scan knives too and they can have reflective surfaces. Not sure what to do about that

[@EpIcHoBoGuY]

get some plasti dip spray and make sure you give it a good few coats to give it a thick coating and scan after you should be able to just peal off the plasti dip just make sure you have a good thick coating otherwise it wont peal easy and you will have to scrub it

[@garforce2]

so much helpful information, thank you

hi i install all software but I cant scan because Skanect show me sensor unavailable ? what should I do to fix it ? i have two drivers in my system device manager Kinect for Windows Camera Kinect for Windows Device please help me?

[@coopercowgill4979]

hello! can you please help me out? how would i get this to work on a mac laptop? is there a driver i need for the kinect to talk to the mac? or any third party software that would connect the kinect with mac? thank you!

[@garytoth8152]

Another great vid, I can appreciate the time it takes to purchase the equipment download software and learn to use it before you would even start filming. Great work

[@Crosslink3D]

Gary Toth, great comment! Thanks for being part of the community!

[@Crosslink3D]

Great to read you liked it! If you have ideas for other topics I should cover, just ask me to make a video about it.

[@gooddaycommander4657]

nice, what is the precision of this method? suppose we have scanned a well-polished 10 cm sphere, how different will be a surface 3D model? -/+ 0.1mm ? 0.5mm? 1cm ?

[@luisg2035]

hello do you know if the scales can be done 1 to1?

[@maistodesign545]

But which is better 360 or the Other newer Version

[@timberlock]

I think 360's kinect is better at shape but one's sensor is better at colors.

[@BigMatway]

I dont know why but suddenly it stoped recognizing mi kinect and now i cant scan :( anybody has any suggestions?

[@BigMatway]

fixed it by removing the 1.8SKD and using the 1.6v of the SKD drivers (will actually work in windows 10)

[@mattbush315]

Is it just me or does skanect only support the "structure" scanner now? For those of you that purchased the pro version, did you lose kinect v1 support?

[@mattbush315]

False alarm, more googling got me the answer, Skanect only recogized the kinect in a USB 2.0 port?! Sounded crazy, but it worked even though Skanect does not list the kinect as supported anymore.

[@the_realJP_]

Would setting the object on a turntable or lazy susan work?

[@krayfox]

You say the downloads are in the description, but I cannot find them

[@H3D_CALI]

i have a problem is:: not gpu aceleration not available error ?? help me

[@timberlock]

Too much lighting is not good for Kinect. It sees projected IR dots better at dark. (I mean, you don't want to put 4 lights around the model. 2 would be enough.)

[@supriatnaaseps]

Hi Daniel how to connect 360 Kinect to Mac so it can be read by the skanect

[@tommyb6611]

Hey, i have a question if you know. I bought a kinect instaled everything but when i want to scan something the product is doubled, like double vision. I have my hand raised and sees it double, like 2 hands displaced from one another. Could the sensor be defective or is there some setting i don't know to use?

Thanks kckhunter1!

[@Evilslayer73]

Nice one Daniel !!

[@Crosslink3D]

Thanks Steeve Rioux!

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

In other words, it's not ideal for small or transparent objects since it uses infrared to scan everything.

[@Crosslink3D]

That’s right!

[@JJ-vp3bd]

@@Crosslink3D whats good for small objects then?

[@RockSleeper]

you can dip the wine glass in something like wax, paint, or anything that can be melted into liquid and cooled into a solid.

@Crosslink what processor and graphic card do you use for scanect? I consider buying kinect but i only have a old nvidia gpu. (GT640)

[@Crosslink3D]

I think by today you shouldn’t buy a Kinect anymore. Think of other solutions that are better and cheaper like photogrammetry.

[@cabocloxish507]

@@Crosslink3D Can you recommend any alternatives? I love the idea of portable 3D scanning.

[@Crosslink3D]

Well, Kinect was never really „portable“. You could look into Display.land app.

[@mrjtwill]

Love this video. Question: using the 360 sensor. Do you know if the sensor can be stationary and rotate object for scanning?

[@Crosslink3D]

I am going to show this soon. It requires some preparation of the objects background to be equally colored as far as I can say for now.

[@ScottSchwerman]

That’s a preferred way to do it, especially with people with unstable hands.

[@raymondjayjohnson693]

Thank you. In general it's best for your viewers if you're actually using software that shows capture at its best, not worst. I also appreciate that not all youtubers are well sponsored enough to have affordable access to tools. Some reviewers make a point of being self/crowd funded so they can avoid sponsor entanglements. I appreciate the video, I have subscribed.

[@helmutbreckner4781]

i mean it didnt works with Windows 10

[@timberlock]

So use a Windows 7 virtual machine I guess?

[@brunolopes9900]

Hi really like your videos, but sometimes they are too superficial, buy this I mean, which version of windows are you using, because it's well known that kinect 360 normally it's not easy to setup on windows 10, if possible!

I have windows 10 and I followed the steps and had no issue connecting.

@@jaygmanz Ditto.

[@Warbandit100]

bad video, explanation lacking on kinect part, too much time on skanect when it costs an eye.

[@brianhauk5965]

Skanect's Github repo hasn't been updated in years, and I'm wondering if someone can recommend a similar software product supporting the XBox 360 Kinect or another quality, affordable 3D scanner. Also, Skanect's website states that only OpenNI 2.2.0.33 Beta is supported, and I prefer using production-ready software as Beta may not be good enough.

[@timberlock]

Trust me, It is working good and stable. But you can always use Artec Studio instead.

[@JJ-vp3bd]

@@timberlock is it still working? as is kinect good resolution or is there anything similar

[@timberlock]

@@JJ-vp3bd Skanect is good. But as I said, you can use Artec Studio or RecontructMe.

[@JJ-vp3bd]

@@timberlock is there any modern webcams i could use with RecontructMe? Just looking to save cost and I heard Kinect V2 cant get close enough for miniature detail

[@timberlock]

But it is pretty expensive. If you don't want to spend money, stick with photogrammetry. Photogrammetry has endless opportunities. You just need to be patient.
