R3D TUTORIAL Scanning Black Surfaces & Complex Shapes? Nail It with This 3D Scanning Technique

I took on the challenge of scanning a parked trailer using the Recon 3D app with an Apple LiDAR sensor. Unlike typical cars, this trailer presents different geometric challenges. My goal with this video is to provide valuable tips on how to ensure a complete and accurate 3D scan.
Key points covered:
-Choosing the right sensor: Understand the limitations of the Apple LiDAR sensor (5m range) and how to adjust for specific objects.
-Object considerations: Evaluate the surface of the object (black, shiny, dirty) and how it affects the scan.
-Environment factors: Learn how lighting and sun position can impact scan quality and what to do to minimize glare and other effects.
-Capture techniques: Discover methods like the loop method and how to scan objects in tight or hard-to-reach areas effectively.
By following these tips, you'll be able to achieve a more complete and detailed scan. I also processed the scan in Cloud Compare, shared insights on the results and where improvements can be made.
Watch the full video for step-by-step guidance and see how you can apply these techniques to your own scanning projects!
