3d scanned Han in Carbonite
- Thread starter zenix
- Start date
I'd love to get a scaled down HIC to go with my 12 inch Figures,
if you plan to do something like that!

Yes, I think there would be a real demand for miniature versions of this HIC. Just the fact that the face and body have been accurately scanned is worth it in my opinion although it's a shame you weren't able to scan an entire front panel to capture all the details of the carbonite "flash" that surrounds Han's body. There's some tricky shapes / detailing to add there before your 3D model of it could be completed.
Still - great to see someone actually do this though!

Do you know about Zbrush, or Moddler.com?
HIC is a basic rectangle form. It would only take me a day or two to knock out a proper face, hand/finger, torso, leg and foot topology layout on a rectangular basemesh. The scan could be morphed into this new basemesh with very little trouble in zbrush using projection morphs.
I can bump the new basemesh up to 16million polygons before transferring all the details into it.
Moddler.com can take the 16 million ".ZTL" file and print it without decimating the polycount or sacrificing the details. That dudes machine can handle 22 million polygons.
Places like Shapeways suck because they limit the models polygon resolution to 500,000 polys. I wish they would increase the poly count. Maybe one day they will. Moddler.com and Ownage are by far much better options for printing than Shapeways.
I wish they would start using the Zcorp DLP printer. They mentioned it at one point, but I haven't seen it as a print option yet.
If you get zbrush you should be able maintain all the details you got from that scan. I'm seeing a lot of cad stuff for organic models. Cad and poly based object programs are suited for hard surface shapes, not organic forms.

OKay, so who's gonna make the world's first pep HiC?

If somebody was able to do that I would probably bow down, worship them, and throw rose petals in front of them as they walked. I'm having a hard enough time just pepping a helmet!!!!!!!:lol
i have zbrush. i assure you the model will be perfect. it's funny you mentioned that mayeb one day shapeways will increase their polygon count because the same day you posted that, they doubled their max to 1million. there are other sites to print things from and I was considering using zoomrp or quickparts instead of shapeways since the file is so large. we'll see soon...

Re: 3d scanned HiC
I'm trying to help Too More Garlic finish up his 1/6th Vader project. It's been a very arduous journey for both of us. He's been fighting with the scan work, and I've been fighting with the retopology issues.
I know what you are up against. I'm rooting for ya. These are very exciting times.

Charles... I don't think Zenix will be having the same issues that we are having with our Vader project. That project is limited by the scanning that was used. It was not professional grade and not as sharp as I would have liked if I had been able to build that stepper motor to get the laser line movement smoother and slower. Would have been able to go up to high res capture at 1600x1200 rather than the 800x600 resolution I had to work with.
I used David Laserscanner to make my scans. And I'm sure that the new dome scan will be easier to work with than my older, crappy facemask scan.

Hopefully the DLP systems are better than their powder systems. While yes they were cheap, they were such a pain to deal with...love that CA contact high!
Pretty slick scan. Can't wait to see where you take this from here. (my vote is mini HIC's)

Yes, definitely accurate sixth scale... nice! :thumbsup
