Very reliable scans in questionable lighting, iPad 12.9” 6th gen and Occipital Structure scanner.

We used this to scan a client’s head to then graft onto a dancing body using Adobe Mixamo, 3DSMax, and AfterEffects. The scan was perfect for what we were using it for. I’ve also scanned car parts and other objects to mess around with. The price for models isn’t bad, people can’t expect this product and processing for free. ItSeez3D created an app that Occipital should have included with the Structure sensor, so kudos to them. I hope to see updates with even higher res textures and models to really push the Structure sensor.

This app takes great 3D scans, and is much easier to use than Skanect, but the per-model charge for exports is absurd, and the subscription packages are ridiculously overpriced. It makes experimenting with prototypes cost-prohibitive, and while one could pass along the scanning cost of a final product to the customer, that doesn’t really sweeten the deal for anyone on the consumer’s side. Something like charging a buck an export might be feasible; but for someone running a small, experimental startup, these guys are pricing themselves right out of a potentially loyal customer.
