00:00:06,266 --> 00:00:10,266
This video will show you the
basics of 3D scanning

2
00:00:10,266 --> 00:00:16,200
on the NSU Florida Libraries
Einscan SE 3D scanner.

3
00:00:16,833 --> 00:00:19,800
This includes scanning using the
automatic turntable,

4
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:22,000
scanning using a fixed scan,

5
00:00:22,366 --> 00:00:24,000
and editing scans.

6
00:00:24,666 --> 00:00:30,400
Please refer to the first video
of this series for information 
on how to set up a new project.

7
00:00:31,833 --> 00:00:36,366
After you have set up your 
project, you have two
scanning options:

8
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,866
the automatic turntable
or a fixed scan.

9
00:00:40,366 --> 00:00:43,700
You may toggle between one or
the other by clicking

10
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:48,066
the “with turntable” box on the 
top left.

11
00:00:51,733 --> 00:00:56,400
We are going to select the
automatic turntable for 8 steps.

12
00:00:57,066 --> 00:01:03,666
Click the Start Scan button on
the top right of the screen-
this looks like a play button.

13
00:01:04,033 --> 00:01:09,500
It will take a few seconds for
the scanner to begin projecting
the scan onto the screen.

14
00:01:11,833 --> 00:01:17,300
The automatic turntable cycles
between 8 and 180 steps.

15
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,633
8 is the default, taking
45 degree angle scans
of the object.

16
00:01:23,166 --> 00:01:27,800
180 provides 2 degree angle
scans of the object. 

17
00:01:28,633 --> 00:01:33,366
Setting it at higher steps will provide
a more accurate picture of
your object

18
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:40,100
but it will greatly increase the
scan time and file size of your
3d model.

19
00:01:41,133 --> 00:01:44,500
This is even more pronounced
with texture scans.

20
00:01:45,633 --> 00:01:51,533
Be cautious and realistic about
how many steps you need for
your object.

21
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:04,133
At the bottom left of the
screen you can see the points
and triangles of your object.

22
00:02:04,433 --> 00:02:09,766
The higher the number the more
complex your scan and the
greater your final file size.

23
00:02:10,866 --> 00:02:16,833
You can click and drag to
examine the scan from
different angles.

24
00:02:17,166 --> 00:02:20,533
The blue portions of the scan
are complete data

25
00:02:20,966 --> 00:02:26,733
while the yellow portions of
the scan are incomplete and
extrapolated data.

26
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,900
Note that the automatic
turntable will not pick up the
top or the bottom of the object.


27
00:02:34,666 --> 00:02:39,733
This is not desirable for a
finished scan and
requires refinement.

28
00:02:40,533 --> 00:02:43,266
Once the turntable is complete,

29
00:02:43,266 --> 00:02:47,733
click the green check mark on
the bottom right to
accept the scan.

30
00:02:48,033 --> 00:02:52,133
The Einscan-SE scanner is
capable of combining

31
00:02:52,133 --> 00:02:56,900
multiple scans to provide a
unified 3D object.

32
00:02:57,366 --> 00:03:01,966
It is a good idea to reorient
the object on the scanner

33
00:03:01,966 --> 00:03:05,366
to provide different scanning
angles for the camera.

34
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:11,166
Please watch the top-left
camera for an example.

35
00:03:11,833 --> 00:03:18,333
Use caution when making
additional scans; more scans
leads to a larger file size.

36
00:03:18,666 --> 00:03:24,500
If an object is only missing
one or two sides, try a fixed
scan instead.

37
00:03:24,966 --> 00:03:30,666
Deselect the turntable on the
upper left to enter
fixed scan mode.

38
00:03:31,333 --> 00:03:34,766
This takes a scan from only
one angle.

39
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:39,333
This is useful if your object
is too large for the turntable

40
00:03:39,333 --> 00:03:45,533
or you only need one specific
angle to fill in gaps with
your scan.

41
00:03:45,533 --> 00:03:49,466
Click the scan button on the
top right of the screen.

42
00:03:52,466 --> 00:03:57,733
The new scan is only taking a
small section of our object.

43
00:03:57,733 --> 00:04:03,066
If we do not need a portion of
our object we can erase it from
the data.

44
00:04:03,633 --> 00:04:06,466
Note these small items here.

45
00:04:06,466 --> 00:04:11,900
Hold down the shift key and
select the unneeded portion

46
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:15,366
by drawing a circle around
it with your mouse.

47
00:04:15,366 --> 00:04:19,933
Release the shift key to select
within the circle.

48
00:04:19,933 --> 00:04:24,400
The selected portion will be
highlighted in red.

49
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:32,633
Take caution:  everything within
the circle is selected, which
may include desired data.

50
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,566
Example here.

51
00:04:38,566 --> 00:04:45,600
Try to isolate the unneeded
portion from the rest of the
scan by orienting the scan.

52
00:04:50,233 --> 00:04:56,333
Press the delete button on the
bottom to delete any
unneeded portions.

53
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:02,566
Press the green checkmark to
accept the changes.

54
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:09,766
The 3D software will
automatically merge
the two scans.

55
00:05:10,833 --> 00:05:16,666
You may wish to repeat this
process until your scan has a
minimum of yellow data.

56
00:05:17,033 --> 00:05:23,366
Once you're satisfied with your
scanning you are now ready to
mesh and save your scan.
