I received the same scanner, but unfortunately, I see it being useful for terrain and bigger minis only, definitely not 28-32 mm scale or warhammer minis. I expected it to scan those with high precision, but was quickly disappointed with the result. Your video, however, gives me some cool ideas - scan everything in your room, shrink it down and make a small diorama of your room! And quirky stuff like that. Great vid guys
also since it works with bigger models pretty nicely, whitch just happen to be the more expensive ones. i imagine you can get pretty good knights, tanks, greater demons and the like with pretty good detail.
If I remember right, one tactic used for making some kingdom death miniatures is that they sculpted them large and scanned them, later reducing for production. So as a maker of miniatures it might have some potential. Edit: I think they did this with the “cockroach queen” miniature
@@firmak2 now you've got me thinking, titanicus or epic stuff ? Could be so cool! Love the idea of shrinking inquisitor minis down to 40k size also, but not sure if they're big enough to get enough detail scanned.
It would be cool to see how the bigger figures like the mcfarland or joytoy space marines because then you could do custom poses and shink them down to normal mini size. You can also use this for kit bashes, the joytoy space marines are about the same size as Gunpla kits and other Japanese figures so you can give them some of those types of accessories and scan them to mini sizes.
i don't think scaling them down would look good, they're meant for a larger scale and they wouldn't read correctly at a smaller scale. Details would be lost and it would look noisy overall
@@6132-k1n maybe in the initial days of 3d printing, but current printing capabilities would have no issue going smaller at all, especially resin printing
@@dierdred_the_gray i didn't mean the actual precision of the 3d printer, i meant more the design of the models. An example to explain this is imagine if you took a 1:1 scale car, and scaled it down to 2 inches. A lot of details would be way too small to make sense, and it would end up not reading well visually at that scale. That's why when designers make toy cars replicae, they simplify a lot of details that just wouldn't make sense at that scale. This is just something that I,ve noticed with experience designing stuff
EOB, I love your channel. For some reason, people lump you in with youtube drama, but they are completely mistaken. You're basically the Bob Ross of 40k. I don't think I've ever seen you make a video that was anything but positive and encouraging. One suggestion/submission I think would be cool (especially after your water color video) would be to try to paint a mini using only locally sourced pigments. For example, beets stain everything purple, tomatoes make everything red, some leafy greens are just loaded with green chlorophyll that stains your clothes green and so on. Could make for an interesting video where you get all of your painting supplies from a grocery store.
Definite really neat idea taking the big boy forgeworld marine and shrinking them down. I imagine you could do similar with a mcfarlane primaris, pose them how you wanna, and then scan them in posed how you want. As for what I'd wanna see scanned next - either taking inquisitor minis and shrinking them to normal 40k scale, or using it to give marines weird properly scaled object to have, like a video game controller, or a nerf gun, or an egg beater.
Have one space marine in your army on his phone and have another having a quick sandwich. Then hide them amongst the rest of your army and see if anyone notices.
@@andydogdad4349 Could fuck around with the smartphone apps that are already out there. Won't be as good as the expensive scanner, btu learn some 3d modeling skills and you can make up for the gap, probably
As an Epic 40K player.. Scan regular 40K figures and try to scale them down to Epic scale. I've been wanting for GW to attack the Epic scale with all their new techniques and materials, but as any fan of GW's stuff know.. it's a waiting and wishing game :)
Cool experiments! It could be funny to continue to scan, print, scan, print... until you end up with some amorphous blob and then paint the set as best you can? Would also be fun to see Giga-Gretchin used in a game!
@@keatscast7434 I mean it's kinda just what they do with 3d models anyway, but I just like the idea of doing it the old fashioned way and sculpting things by hand...let's be honest though we all know we'd just scan our faces and make little marines of ourselves.
Interesting. The some models are sculpted 3-up (three times normal size) and then shrunk down with a 3d Pantograph. This could be a less tedious way of achieving that same effect.
We use 3d scanners at work (definitely on a much larger scale) and it's mostly used to get the size and shape right, then model the rest to get the details correct. Camera matching is an incredibly time consuming and tedious thing to master so scans can cut down the time and headache used to make things exact. I was thinking of getting one of these to scan and model my own custom noise marine army and some other projects like creating figures that never made it to production for some reason but the fans still wanted them. We will see...
I find the choice for the miniature of Grand Moff Tarkin interesting as Peter Cushing was full on into miniature. There is even old videos of him painting them.
Get yourself a buddy who is in dental prosthetics. Labs these days tend to have very capable 3d scanners. This seems like a very good way to preserve some of those old rare metal minis.
>fortress of redemption This looks pretty simple - could learn some blender and bash it out in the amount of time it takes to earn $1000 to purchase this scanner and then have a skill to create more terrain whatever you like!
Love this! Give them a couple of years and it’ll be in a lot of hobby setups. I imagine making miniature prototypes in a higher scale, shrinking them down and you have your own hand sculpted miniature army 🤩 thanks for the detailed breakdown!
I think it would be really cool to take a blank miniature and scan it to get the 3D model. Then use said model in something like blender to texture it and apply lighting in order to inform how you paint the miniature. Kinda overkill but I bet with practice you could use it to create some hyper-realistic shading on models.
Technology like that is way beyond my ken, but that’s pretty fascinating what you were able to capture. That scanner looks like a perfect fit for terrain-replication.
still waiting on my scanner i got one on the kickstarter. i would recommend the mini for the price and what it can do is worth the money. i paid about 2 grand for my original scanner and that is 0.1 accuracy this is 0.02. if you want to scan large items ie people or buildings or large objects then i would suggest the pop 1 if your low on cash but if you have spare i would go for the pop 2 for larger items. check out the videos on youtube. also nick if you place the item on its side you can scan again then turn onto its front rescan etc repeat. also. hang the black bag over the side of the table and hold the scanner between your legs or place on a small table. wear the black latex gloves as the scanner cant see the black and rotate the part about in your hands in front of the scanner. i have had a lot of good scans with the pop1 like this. also they are always updating the software. the last 3 updates have improved the quality of the scans no end. anyways you know where i am if you need any advice matey. and i cant wait to get hold of mine and see what i can do with it. :)
I wonder if it might be easier to scan sub-assemblies of a miniature and then join the pieces together in the software of your choosing to get your final STL file. Legs, body, head, torso, arms....attach pins so the parts are "free floating". It would be interesting to test that and see if it helps the process.
I played around with meshroom some years ago and got decent results just using my phone camera and tons of photos. It is an art in itself getting good scans of stuff
This kind of reminds me of the early days of 3d printing, back then I said "I'll see where it is in 5 years" and bought one 3 years later. I'm feeling the same way with this, but I'll need to have a good reason to shell out 1K. EDIT: Holy shit the terrain piece looks great. Citadel terrain is super expensive so if you make a lot of gaming boards or do a lot of terrain, this scanner could pay for itself within a couple years.
We use big versions of those scanners at work to scan the interiors of buildings. They are laser based and scan even small things like keys people leave on tables. Point clouds with billions or trillions of points. Impressive technology!
What you want for such small pieces like miniatures is a jewelry scanner. Those are able to scan from all angles with specific near field came in a very high resolution and pixel count. Good ones start at several thousand Euros. The best ones are scanning in a sealed case and can hold the piece in mid air by basically creating an air cushion with several small air jets, they are even able to rotate the piece. So you can get a perfect 3D scan of the piece. However those costs several tenthousand Euros and are actually not easy to use.
Instead of their spray use Tenactin spray (athlete's foot spray). I do some freelance scanning and this will dull down a reflective surface and lighten up dark colours. Also the scanner needs an HDR mode to use multiple exposures to get the light and dark areas (including in the shadows of the crevasse of the models). This would make the entire output much better.
GW knocking on your door in...3...2... aside from copyrights, 3d scanning is awesome but still has a lot to improve on. will never be able to compare to an artist working in a 3d app or a sculptor.
I think that combined with someone who has basic 3d modeling skills, something like this would help alot. Especially as the tech gets better in time its just gonna be another tool in the toolbox. Also worth remembering that software will get better to. There's already phone apps out there that do this with mixed results, eventually this will bridge the gap and make the tech accessible to most people.
There’s a genie that’s going to be impossible to put back in the bottle.This is truly exiting stuff, and they will only get cheaper and better as time goes on. STL files are the new mp3s. Companies like GW need to get behind this, but I have a horrible feeling that at some point, we’ll be looking at a format that includes DRM, and possibly even legislation to protect intellectual copyright.

De-mattefying your models will help sharpen the scans. but sharpness is generally hard with none laser based scanners have. AESUB just released there Transparent De-matting vanishing spray if you want to scan color
That's cool somehow. You should have used ot an an Mc Farlane Toy in different positions and then scale it down into mini size. I think this would be interesting.
If you where going to build every "Loyalist" and "Chaos " knight plus vehicles ( all factions) and terrain ( assuming buying all new : 3d printer , wash and cure , resin and supplies , and scanner ) You would be actually be saving money . Specially if you have access to "Titans"
Buy big posable action figures GW is selling of SM Primaris, pose them with all the weapons you want, scan them. Congrats, you have an entire army of unique Marines you can print whenever you want. I already have a 3d pri ter, in a few years i will buy a scanner for sure
Why did I know what Nick was going to scan next before he started to say it? Anyway- neato vid dudes! For the cheaper folks out there, there is a way to do something similar (with less stellar results) by using an Xbox 360 Kinect sensor- my wife's uncle did it and its... neat?

How did you do the skeleton banner for the sgt? Looks amazing!
That's cool somehow. You should have used ot an an Mc Farlane Toy in different positions and then scale it down into mini size. I think this would be interesting.
I love how Nick used the gloomspite gitz box
I think the Einscan-SP would be actually capable of scanning 28-32mm scale mini's but it's also double the price .
we're almost at the point where we can clone our own 28mm minis, GW need to be worried
Try a McFarlane Marine with different poses and scale it down for custom "Action Moves"...try and get it to do a combat roll.
Probably have to spray the models with a green screen color for best scanning results.
Wow you guys are so skilled and great together. I wish I could let you do something for me
Love the ending!
That ending just killed me xD
looking forward to this
If you where going to build every "Loyalist" and "Chaos " knight plus vehicles ( all factions) and terrain ( assuming buying all new : 3d printer , wash and cure , resin and supplies , and scanner ) You would be actually be saving money . Specially if you have access to "Titans"
for small stuff there is jewelry scanner that works great
The best set is still a jewelers scanner (Thunk3D).
What about photogrammetry with good Canon DSLR and fine lenses, full CRI light and ND filters?
Buy big posable action figures GW is selling of SM Primaris, pose them with all the weapons you want, scan them.
Congrats, you have an entire army of unique Marines you can print whenever you want.
I already have a 3d pri ter, in a few years i will buy a scanner for sure
Why did I know what Nick was going to scan next before he started to say it? Anyway- neato vid dudes! For the cheaper folks out there, there is a way to do something similar (with less stellar results) by using an Xbox 360 Kinect sensor- my wife's uncle did it and its... neat? Something to try if you get bored.
That finish though 🤣
