• A couple of smaller features that would be super nice to have!

  Hi Karine-Johanne, The two scanners are somewhat similar. As CEO of M&F, I am of course biased towards THREE, but I've not seen a direct comparison between the two anywhere. I think you can tr...

  I like to use Noise Reduction at 31 or 16, depending on the size of the object I'm scanning. For really detailed, small surfaces (like a coin) I go for 31. Otherwise I go for 16. Is that the offic...

  Hi Mark, thanks for your question! First off, we've not tested the scanner in the cold depths of space, I suspect if it is frozen it's not going to work. But leaving that aside... The scanner can ...

  Hi Boris, So I actually had that backwards - it seems games actually use triangles, not quads. It's animation that is more likely to use quads. GPU rendering is optimized for triangles.  You...
