This project involved scanning a subjects head for use in 3D modeling and analysis. The key challenge was capturing a complete and accurate scan despite limitations imposed by hair coverage. A meticulous approach was employed to overcome this obstacle and deliver high-quality results to the client

Scanning Process

Multiple Takes & Angles
The head was scanned from various angles and in multiple takes to ensure comprehensive data capture, even in areas obscured by hair.

Real-time Alignment
Each take was aligned during the scanning session itself, guaranteeing seamless data coverage and minimising misalignments.

Processing Pipeline

Hair & Artifact Removal
Unwanted elements like hair and hand movements were removed from the scans to achieve a clean and accurate representation of the head geometry.

Mirroring for Symmetry
To compensate for the hair-covered portion, the captured scans were mirrored to create a complete head model.

Merged & Hairless Model
All scans were carefully merged to create a single, hairless version of the head, ensuring continuity and consistency.

Manual Refinement
Any noise or seams arising from the merging process were cleaned up by hand to ensure a flawless model

XYZ Alignment
The final scan data was aligned to the XYZ axis, facilitating future modeling and analysis tasks

Delivery

Dropbox Delivery
The processed scan data was delivered to the client via a secure Dropbox link for easy access and offline use

Sketchfab Viewer
An interactive online viewer of the scan was provided through Sketchfab, allowing for convenient 3D exploration and analysis directly within a web browser
