How To Photo Scan Head For 3D Printing FREE | Complete Workflow & Guideline

---
How to photo scan head is the most asked question in the KIRI Engine community, so I'm making this thorough workflow video covering both 3D scanning and cleaning procedures.

Keep in mind that 3D scanning was originally designed to scan static objects. So when scanning people, they will always have some level of movement regardless of how steady they can stay. Even with today's technology, it is still not quite there to expect a perfect human scan just with your smartphone. You will always end up with some clean-ups on the scan to make it perfect.

Great video and tips! I was just needing this for scanning my head, to use it in a cosplay helmet. Greetings from Amsterdam!

Great insights! This video makes photo scanning for 3D printing simple and easy to follow. Super helpful workflow guide! 💥

Thanks so much for your new video, Jack!

You are so awesome, I love your energy!

I don't plan to do this for anything human, but a massive help nevertheless!

Great suggestion! Personally, to achieve an even better level, I use the scan as a base mesh to retopolize in Blender and transfer the textures with image bake. In addition to having a clean mesh true to the scan it is optimized for both scans and renderings and animations. Definitely a lot more work than 10 minutes but the result is amazing.
I would like to see in the app preview the clay version of the mesh and not just the textured one, it would help a lot to see if the scan actually came out well.

Hi there, i love this app and its working fine withe really good results i see on scanned busts. I am wondering that the scan results in combination with a turn table are disapointing, mostly trash. I used a slow speed and a fixed position of my cell phone /camera to scan the rotating object. Is there a limitation is this use case?

I would like to see a mesh view of our scan directly in the app if possible :) it would be great.
Indeed, I worked on some scans during the holidays and i had to ask a friend to open my file on his computer to see the wireframe & full mesh.

Thx for the work

I really love the app and I hope I can get it working again. But for some reason, it logged me out and no matter what I do I can’t get back in. I’m on the right iOS account for sure because it shows my subscription active in my subscriptions. But when I login with my Apple ID it logs into an account with no unlocked sub features. Pretty frustrating.

But to be honest, I’m not certain I can even use your app for what I needed it for. The location which I wanted to scan is quite remote. I don’t have any phone service there. Is there a workaround for scanning without any service?

Here's the only question I have: Once you have your scan perfect, how do you scale it correctly to be your actual head dimensions? I'm assuming just use calipers and measure your x/y/z and then scale to those measurements, yeah?

If take a photo using the 0.5 mode wont will be better?

Polycount rocks. Kiri is way way behind

[dazrelixs]

i know you said Photo Scan is the best for 3D scanning method for Head Scan. But what about other method from the pro version like Featureless Object San or 3DGS scan?

[ignitoracing]

this beats polycam hands down, and its free?? wtf, is there any payments required for any exports, or 100% free? What about the future?

4:56 didn't see that there was a switch... strange design choice to make the switch invisible in the off state...

this tutorial is not for me, I am ugly
