Scanning ~

After studying the instructions and tips on Cubify's site, I made several attempts to scan an object using my iPhone camera and uploading a series of photos to Cubify Capture (Beta).

For three of the uploads, Cubify sent a message that a file could not be produced.

I started with a laser-cut object, but there may not have been adequate contrast.

Cubify rendered the finial that I scanned and I opened the file in MeshLab to edit:

The third scan, a sea shell, was initially rejected by Cubify, likely due to the reflective surface of the table top.

I rescanned it, using a patterned scarf underneath and NetFabb rendered it in 3D (see photos, below).

 

 

I also scanned a a fourth object, but it could not be rendered by Cubify.

I also tried MeshLab, 123D Catch, 123D Render, OpenScad.
