one of my favorite projects so far. i hope you all enjoy the video as much as i did making it.

my response to some FAQs:

Q: 3D print some of these scans?
A: maybe...

Q: Why not mirror the iPhone's screen to another display (iPad, TV, another iPhone, etc)
A: Maybe it's because my phone is older but when I tried this the app crashed very frequently and got extremely hot due to, i'm guessing, how much ram is used for 3D scanning. if you have a more recent / better iPhone, definitely give this a try and let me know!

Q: How is the back camera's LiDAR system any different from the FaceID sensors?
A: I THINK they have very different resolutions. since the back LiDAR sensor is only used for focusing photos in low-light situations it doesn’t have nearly as high of a resolution compared to the faceID sensors which require a much higher resolution for facial recognition. i noticed this too when i was filming the liDAR scene at 0:32. the back LiDAR sensors did not cast nearly as many dots as the faceID sensors.

As someone coming from an Industrial Design Background but studying at an arts university this was just breathtaking to watch. Especially the process. Love it.

I'm literally so impressed that the "mistake" of printing that document fits the style of the image so well, woah

[DamianMathew]

First time here - the editing quality is insane wtf. The video on its own was a piece of art.

[mikalaybourn]

The fact that you actually 3D-printed a tool in order to scan, is out of the box. Well done, sir! The result was worth it, I would say

[jomivo]

I am seriously absolutely stunned by your design skills. I mean, the design of that handle .... Holy. The slots integrated in the handle, the piece cut in two halves. You even designed this with the full length of the HDMI cable stored perfectly away. I tip my hat to you, sir.

Underrated edit at 3:47: the time lapse of the print is combined with the shot of grabbing the print, so he starts reaching for the print while it's still printing, and grabs it just as the last layer goes on. So creative!

[A.Mere.Creator]

Yes the project is awesome, but can we appreciate how hard those transitions went? It felt like watching a magician preform slight of hand

[NexusAcademy]

Dude.

Every aspect of this video is so elegant: the concept, the implementation, the editing.

This was the first video of yours that I saw but I immediately subscribed. I'm looking forward to watching more of your content ❤️✌🏼

[augusto.ulisse]

I love how professional and simultaneously friendly your videos are

[Seasal]

3:48 That shot with the piece still printing while you are grabbing it is amazing, also these posters look incredible, really an incredible use of a mundane item.

[Playfool]

Never thought something like FaceID could be repurposed into a creative tool! Incredible!

[AlsoAStranger]

Started watching for the thumbnail, stayed for the filmmaking and editing

I know this video is one year old, but holy shit
Not only did you design the rig beautifully and built it amazingly, but you also pulled off lovely camera angles and shots together with an editing that glides smoothly across the whole process with clever tricks to keep it engaging and satisfying.

A masterpiece of a short-film, I'm not even exaggerating
Damn that final poster looks beautiful

You're a one man band with a quality that's rare on this platform.
Absolute fantastic work

3:48 I love how it continues printing while you remove it. Such a nice detail 😃

[miigon]

6:38 Hooray! An OVERSIZED Oversize Proof Approval Form!

[KillAtron]

The way you approached the design process and was able to spend the time solving a problem like this is incredible. I love that you like to use things you already have and applied creative ways to remix them into genius level products. Looking like a real future scanner from a video game and has the abilities to grow with different applications.

[speeder]

3:22 By "detailed drawing" I honestly did not expect that. I would honestly cut my lifetime by half just to have such skill

[patricttai]

Its funny that no one realised that both two framed prints has been already showing up in the past uploaded videos since two years ago

[hegesapp]

Thank you for making this video :)! I'm in awe at what you've done — from the ingenious design of the 3D-printed holder with hidden HDMI cable, through the art (I still cannot fathom how you could turn the scans into someting so beautiful!), to the high-quality video itself — genuinely, hats off! I had grin on my face during the whole video (and long after it ended, too!). As a tip for others like me, who are not as skilled as you are, I'd like to add that there's also the *Screen Sharing* feature in Heges: if you have a secondary iPhone/iPad, then you can use it for screen mirroring. Just double-tap anywhere in the live camera preview and follow the instructions.

[luke.tyhurst]

I appreciate all of the time you put into the video edits! (E.g. 3D printing Timelapse shifting into you picking up the print, you centering all of the I’ll Do It Myself hats)
