Amazing review.. But there's only reason that I'm looking for to this scanner is to see the texture quality.. Till now I haven't found a review showing it XD
Nice. In addition i would like to know how long it took to scan the last big dino? And how about human face/body scan with color. Can you make that video as well?
Hi. It's not taking very long. If you use far mode mode and continuous shot, i guess it can probably be done in a few minutes. It will take longer with near mode though.
Hello, The Mirano seems very versatile, but is it as good as the mini 3D scanner (from Revopoint): for scanning the details of jewelry or medals (silver, bronze or gold)?
Jul, any advice on settings or something to scan miniatures like action figures? In already try wit the miraco several times and dosnt really capture a good detail
how good would it scan toy / action figure armor no figure just the toy armor, the old school 80s he man two peice body armor as 2 individual peice. small but thin very thin objects
I pre-ordered the 16GB RAM version because it is the most affordable option. I plan to use it for scanning automotive exterior components. I would like to know if, during scanning, the memory becomes full halfway, will it automatically save the progress? Is it possible to resume scanning from the point of interruption by accessing the recently saved file? Thank you.
Revo Pop 2 is a toy... I returned it quickly after testing despite of all the good reviews on RU-vid (which are surely sponsored). I had a EinScan SE after it, it's a whole new world ! But it's a desktop scanner, not portable. So I have the same question as you: what about this one ?
@blm7929 Technology progresses quickly. I m very happy with the geometry i get from that scanner. But i received a demo unit and got some textures issues. If there is one area where the miraco could get improvements, it's on the textures side. I scanned my kids while they were sleeping 2 days ago, in near mode single shot you get a very very nice and sharp result.
23:40 as a texan with a midwestern accent myself (not southern), i can understand you just fine. i enjoyed watching this review. around the timestamp, you talked about polarized textures. can you upload a video on that? you could include why you would need them for your job or what 3d scanners use them. i am not too familiar with scanners but i think this is one i would possibly buy in the future. most of the cheaper scanners cant seem to scan properly, like they fail halfway or mess up the model too much to use. i would mainly be copying random small objects or sculptures to 3d print for fun. 🙂
Hi, I use polariser when i do photogrammetry. Polarised picture is used to create the albeado texture, reflections comes from spec and roughness maps. During a scan for film we often use polarised pictures to get the shape from the scan and the albedo in one step.
I did not test that. The technology use light and infrared. Polariser cut reflections, i m not sure it would work. Let me know if you ever make a test and manage to make it work.
Looks very impressive, great video.. I pre ordered the 16gb model. Sorry if I missed it but which one are you using? Is the 32gb worth the extra price? Also, when you process the model via the scanner, does it also save the raw data in case you want to edit it on the pc too?
Hello Julien, Thanks for the video, very good information. I want to buy the scanner (I have already reserved it), to scan sneakers. For me, the textures and details of the fabric are very important. After watching quite a few videos, I can't see any that show the quality of the textures obtained. Can you advise me? Thank you so much
They are preparing a video showing the texture quality from what I heard. I did not used textures too much, since it's 8 bits .jpg and that under 16 bits tiff or 32 bits exr it's hard to get back the details in shadows and highlight. I have a beta version which has limited hardware and software power so did not focused too much on the texture aspect.
Thank you very much for your response Julien. That's what I thought, I hope someone can upload a sample of these textures but as you say, 8 bits .jpg seems not enough to me. All the best
Yes you can do that. I did it on my sleeping kids. Scanning the body and bed frame in far mode, and the face in near mode. I do not shot a video of it though.
Can it be used for 10-15 cm figures? Dragon Ball characters like Vegeta...but I did see Vegeta's hair, he didn't capture them too well, can it improve with a more detailed scan? Thank you
Yes. If i had captured more frames it would have been better. I shot the video in a rush at 3am. Fedex had massive delay delivering the scanner. I rushed the scan, the video edit, everything 😅 hopefully it's not to much visible in the video. Precision is 0.02mm. Pretty accurate. 15cm models should be fine, some people scanned very small stuff with it.
Thank you for the video 👍 How would you say it compares to the other 3D scanners you have used & would you say it's priced well at £1,000 (€1,150) I am a backer & this will be my 1st 3D scanner.
It's close to my nextengine 3d laser desktop scanner in quality, better than photogrammetry for the geometry, in this price range it really is in a good position, in near mode I managed to get more details than expected. If you want something better it exist for sure but the price will be multiplied by 10 or 20.
Super portable, so I ordered a 32gb. Scanning gets done moreso when not having to carefully transfer a computer and cables and power supplies around to difference places. It has a very useable resolution for its price too.
From my understanding 16 or 32 gb is the Ram, the storage is 250 gb. You can probably scan all day without filling it, specially if you only capture the point cloud and process later on the computer. Going from 16 to 32 gb would allow you to capture 2 times more frame, which could be useful in continuous mode scanning large models.
me and my brother played this so many times when we were little. One day I decided to try and complete it with him. Took us a while and a lot of money haha well about 30 pounds but that was a lot to us back then. Good times
I remember spending about £25 between four of us years ago, clocking this at the arcade, that little car/booth thing that you sat in too with the curtains, good times. Now all the traditional 'arcades' of Whitley Bay next to where I live are gone, it's just gamblers. Understandable with gaming technology now, still a little sad to see them all go.
