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

Comments

“ client is interested in 3D scanning cars, outdoors and in varying conditions.”

The implications of these requirements (ie car _in specific location_) is not obvious to me. What are they planning to do with the model?

Have they customized the frame and / or paintjob or is it a typical production model?

In the latter case it would likely be easier to source a 3d model rather than scan it.

If it’s some “playing around” Luma is pretty good nerf based scanner.

Without nerf you might have a hell of a problem with the specular surfaces.

If it’s production use with a budget I would recommend subcontracting the scanning - there are parties professionally doing this.
