I like how the kinect was specifically designed for games but absolutely failed in that category but when it came to other stuff like these,it does quite an excellent job.
Awesome! To delete unwanted parts you can also reveal all and alt select and then delete parts that appear in all scans. That saves a lot of work. When building also don't forget to set the alignment on mesh geometry like (not) shown in the video.
In case some don't know, you don't have to do the clean-up one by one necessarily. You can select all images (ctrl-a) and do the cleanup by rotating the scans to the best point of view and select desired points to delete all at once. :)
Thanks for showing this software! I just got a 3D Printer and a Kinect v2 WITH the windows hub. Windows own 3D scan misalignes the texture and Skanect does not recognize the depth sensor. This K Scan is working like a charm, like a very expensive piece of software! :)
Are kinect v2 and XBox One Kinect the same? I 've read a research about a different type of software working with kinect v2. Now, I am looking for the equipments and so confused . :)

Good tutorial. I would be even more helpful if you showed the final mesh without texture as well. Also, you exported the file but didn't state what file format you used. Question: Can you combine the point cloud data with photogrammetry to be used in Photoscan or Realtycapture?
I just got the Xbox 360 kinect an hour ago.. went to the link for kscan3d and it still works.. had to hard restart my computer a couple times but now I'm connected with the Kinect.. and just like you said, the kinect did not show an image until I clicked devices and Reconnect... and bam... it started scanning.. good video.. by the way.. connected on my PC windows 8 .. now just have to wait until my Ender 3 arrives.. ordered today...
Nice bro, 2 weeks ago I got Kinect V2, it works like a charm, now I'm waiting for a special background box for 3d scanning. And maybe I'll buy a 3d printer too.
I also notice the area that wasn't scanning before was down to light refraction with metallic you might want to spray it with chalk so the light doesn't reflect and causes issues
I wonder if this can be used to scan the interior of a car? Our company builds roll cages for competition cars and the CAD information for the bodyshell isn't always available. If I could use the Kinect to scan the interior, I can then export to CAD to build the model for the roll cage. This would be especially useful for older vehicles where interior CAD data does not exist.
Great video!! I was about to purchase a very expensive scanner!! Thank you very much!! I've subscribed and looking forward to watching the rest of your videos!! Thanks!! where can I purchase tri pod for kinect?
OK I have noticed that there are a few different model numbers of the Kinect under the V1. Are there better models than others? Thank you for your help.
So i installed the latest Microsoft 1.8 drivers. The Kinect is connected but it wont recognise it. I tried restarting the program as administrator but nothing...
I'm afraid due to work and my accident (mentioned in a recent video) I've not had much of a chance to experiment with kinect scanning for a few years now. However, I'm planning on refreshing myself with it soon and I'll upload a new modern video on how to do it. Keep watch!
Ah wow that's a great win! Even if it didn't work and there was no salvagable parts from within it, at that price, it's still a bargain paper weight! Just so you know, I've got an update to this video on the way in the coming weeks.
I wonder if there's a way to connect (no pun intended) to multiple Kinect cameras for better and cleaner results. For example, on the professional 3d scanners, you stand in a chamber with multiple cameras in it and they all take a shot at you all at once. That's the idea I was referring to.
Hi Robert, things have changed somewhat with k-scan unfortunately. However, that doesn't mean this world has been left dry. Keep watch as I have some very exciting videos on this coming fairly soon. Keep watch!
How do you align properly? When I move the camera to get the top and bottom, the images don't merge like yours do. Each of the 3 sets (from different angles) form their own images but never seem to merge. I'm using the Kinect v2. It works well if I only have one angle but then I get a hole on top of the head if I don't take the top angle.
Hi. Thanks a lot for the tutorial! I made an scan only one turn (360º, fixed Kinect angle), and I got an scanned model. But I made another one with two kinect angles (two turns with different angle, as I understand you suggest in the video), and result was a complete mess... Should I tell the program that there are 2 turns anywhere?
I fully acknowledge i don't know how the Kinect technology works and i assume someone else would have though of this if it were an option but...since the kinect uses infrared light as of its technology and that seems to be sensitive to temperature (right?) would figuring out a way to vary the temperature of the object have some kind of bearing on the result? I mean holding a cold compress over an area with a lot of textures and maybe evenly a applying some heat from a hair dryer to another area? Is that not how it works?
would the v2 kinect for the xbox one yield better results? I can modify it or get the AC plug adapter to power it that's not problem but wondering 3d render quality wise?
How to you 3d scan an item on the inside and outside in one (lets say the outside of a cup) but I am scanning a cup) and you put it upside down to scan the whole of the outside and the detail (lets say it has lots of detail, but you want to scan the inside that has lots of detail as well. I appreciate you will need to do more than one scan but can the two scans be merged to make one image to print on a 3d printer. The inside has details that are as important as the outside, the item will not be solid like a cup. I just wanted to know as a newby if this can be done and how using a kinect......Thanks
tried the software you and not install my Kinect just wondering is it due to using windows 10 tried all the versions and still will not scan to find the Kinect looks like I will have to spend a lot of money to buy a 3D scanner but what to go for....great video by the way...
I haven't personally ye tried this with the V2 (By which I presume you mean the XBox One Kinect?). However it should be compatible with this software, though some other software packages it isn't. If you do have that model however, you can also use MIcrosoft's offical one if you're running windows 8 or later: www.microsoft.com/en-gb/store/p/3d-scan/9nblggh68pmc
Felice Caccamo the Kinect V2 uses time-of-flight and Kinect V1 uses structured light. Time-of-flight has a few advantages, one being improved spatial resolution, which is good for body tracking and gestures, but means more noise, and sensitivity to the colour and material of objects for the use of 3d scanning. Some softwares will probably counter for that so it might be down to what software you use to get the most out of the V2
I have a problem, if I am going to scan, k scan doesn't build the scan well. one side is closed but the other side not at all. Can anybody help me pls?
hi there, i have seen this video and i find it amazing. im at the beginning on trying to learn about 3d scan and 3d printing this is a great platform to start but i have a small doubt, you scanned the external part of the helmet but how about if i wanted to scan also the interior? what should be the steps within this tutorial? thanks!
Hi Antonio, I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for the comment. Unfortunately the interior gets a lot more complicated. You may have limited luck scanning that with photogrammetry, but really, unless you're able to take it apart and scan it in pieces, you'd be better off just taking measurements and modeling from scratch.
Technically yes. However, two main things to be aware of. Firstly, the kinect needs to be wired both for power and to a functioning computer. You could rig this up to a compatible laptop and some sort of powerable mains power supply in a backpack, but otherwise, you'll need some big trailing cables to get the Kinect everywhere you need it for the scan. The other thing to bare in mind is that the mirrors and windows will likely cause some issues with the scan so you'll probably have a fair bit of cleanup to do after the scan is complete.
im forced to use rubbish windows 10 and i have a 1414 model and i can not get it to work. is there anything else that i can do apart from buying an xbox 1 kinect . thanks
Hi mate , hey when im scanning sometimes it freezes, my question is how do you reset and start again , at the moment i go back to body , object screen and try again but it still has my frozen scan from before , i close scanect and try to open it and says already open and scanning so everytime ive gotta restart my pc to reset it ..... HELP PLEASE
Hey, I'm very sorry for the late reply. I've been recovering from a serious accident since July last year and whilst I've been reposting for the last couple of months I'm now getting round to catching up on my comments. Have you checked when you close it that all functions are closed in your Task Manager? It sounds like when you close it, it's still staying open somewhere in the background. Try opening your task manager (Ctrl+Shift+ESC) and see if anything is listed there that's associated with it, right click it and hit 'End Task', then reload it and it should be cleared
@@unpelagato hey! So it's been a while since I looked but from what I recall only certain formats exported the texture map along with the object. I didn't get into checking anything regarding editing the models though, just previewing them in 3D viewing software
i'm sure there's a reason this is different from just using a regular camera to gather the scans? but youve taken so many scans that i cant imagine not getting the same model from using as many smartphone images in K-Skan
The Kinect has a depth sensor and infrared projector that is required for more accurate 3D scans. While it is possible to do with a regular camera, it becomes much more complex and you may not get as good of results as using a real sensor that has depth detection.
I like how the kinect was specifically designed for games but absolutely failed in that category but when it came to other stuff like these,it does quite an excellent job.
To be fair, I still use it for games. With driver4vr I use it for body tracking since my hmd has no base stations or tracking itself.

Jep I think so but there is a Kinect for Windows and a regular Kinect V2 (xbox one). There is no real difference, maybe just some drivers.
thank you so much!

Thank you, I just stumbled across an old one of these Xbox relics and have actually been accustomed to using very expensive handhelds like Artec and Creoform with their native corresponding software.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for commenting. Would love to hear how you get on!
Thank you for the concise video. It was very educational and it will assist me greatly in building my 3d scanning rig.
Works great thanks, I can scan myself within 32 pics and the final model looks great and smooth
Wow This was really amazing
Good tutorial. I would be even more helpful if you showed the final mesh without texture as well. Also, you exported the file but didn't state what file format you used.
Question: Can you combine the point cloud data with photogrammetry to be used in Photoscan or Realtycapture?
Thank you and have a great day.
Thank you! I hope you had a lovely day yourself and sorry for the late reply!

Hey Don, so glad it's working for you. Have fun 3D scanning :)
this thing is masterpiece
You are a masterpiece!
I also notice the area that wasn't scanning before was down to light refraction with metallic you might want to spray it with chalk so the light doesn't reflect and causes issues

Just so you know, I've got an update to this video on the way in the coming weeks.
Still relevant today in 2024? Are there any newer softwares that work with the kinect? Since the one in your video is not supported anymore? Thanks
I am planning an updated coverage of this topic in the next month or two, stay tuned.
I would want to actually try doing this.
Do it, I got a kinect and it's awesome, with a kinect you can scan in 3D and even make mocap animations!
Brilliant
I wonder if there's a way to connect (no pun intended) to multiple Kinect cameras for better and cleaner results. For example, on the professional 3d scanners, you stand in a chamber with multiple cameras in it and they all take a shot at you all at once. That's the idea I was referring to.
Yes you can connect multiple Kinects at a time to scan a greater area faster.
Thanks, man
No worries, glad you enjoyed!
Sound like informer iL the kinect and the kinect and if the kinect but nothing on how until a while
When you export, can you turn it into a step file or ipt, so you can modify it??.
are there softwares for the one kinect in the meantime? that are good?
You can select all of scans at once and delete unusefull points in all of them in same time ;)
Haha thanks for the heads up :)

Hi, Looks great What formats does it support for exporting?
Have you tried with the Kinetic v2? i got one last week at gamestop for 15 bucks! trouble is i have to buy the blasted adapter.
I haven't personally ye tried this with the V2 (By which I presume you mean the XBox One Kinect?). However it should be compatible with this software, though some other software packages it isn't. If you do have that model however, you can also use MIcrosoft's offical one if you're running windows 8 or later: www.microsoft.com/en-gb/store/p/3d-scan/9nblggh68pmc
You can easily modify the Kinect V2 to use an off the shelf ac adapter and a standard USB 3.0 cable.
Hi, do you know if the scanning quality with v2 is better then the v1 ?
Felice Caccamo I guess it probably is
Felice Caccamo the Kinect V2 uses time-of-flight and Kinect V1 uses structured light. Time-of-flight has a few advantages, one being improved spatial resolution, which is good for body tracking and gestures, but means more noise, and sensitivity to the colour and material of objects for the use of 3d scanning. Some softwares will probably counter for that so it might be down to what software you use to get the most out of the V2
