Comment on Ask HN: How to produce a 3D scan of a car from a mobile phone?

Comments

3D scanning is not some niche cottage industry. There's loads of different solutions by companies ranging from Epic Games to Autodesk, DIY solutions using Xbox Kinect, to dedicated devices. Just depends on what you are trying to do and tolerance for dodgy BS.

And oh, you aren't likely to get a clean 3D model from the get go, more likely is that you are going to generate a point cloud that has to be edited to get a usable 3D model.
