@@SquidmarMiniatures Are you planning to do stl releases of your minis and busts in the future? It's a bit of a bummer that you do so many 3d printing videos, but don't release you own things for use to print.
The fact that an indie company comes up with a 3d scanner that works 100x better than the "pro" one shows that if you give people the chance to do what they love, they will make something amazing for the whole world to enjoy!
Someone made a Custodes HQ of Zelenskiy about to stomp on the head of a half-dead Putin trying to crawl away. Detail was really good and it's pretty hilarious.
Imagine painting the original one, the 8th, 16th, 24th and the Last one and making a RPG aventure where cultists are trying to bring this entity into our reality and each turn you change the miniature to a more detaileid version, as a representativo of the creture entering our realm. It would be a cool adventure.
Our pleasure! And fantastic machine. I must admit i had almost given up after testing the other scanners we mentioned in the beginning of the video and really happy this one worked as well as it did.
I work for a Scanning studio and it's fun to know that some of my colleagues have 3d printed their own heads to attach to chaos lord models, also to counter things like holes appearing in meshes, shine and specular light is your worst enemy, you can use things like baby powder to Matte the surface, this can be through either straight out the bottle or sprayed with a mixture of powder and water, just make sure to not add too much or you can create new data on the mesh which can create a bumpy texture if the powder gets captured. in your case maybe you can just spray it a nice matte grey and then maybe a nice light dusting of white paint that is spotty if that makes sense.
A pretty cool side effect of multiple scans: Scans 5 through 8 give a pretty cool "weathered" effect, like time and the elements wearing down a statue.
Fun experiment! Reminds me of Midwinter Minis' latest video. I guess what this can be used for is to check if your sculpture has a good silhouette and if it's easy to read at a glance.
Didn't know about open scan! This would be super useful for sculpting custom parts; often the hardest part is just getting the thing to fit right onto an existing model. If I could scan the model in and build the new part around it that would amazing.
Exactly. I wouldn't support this for carbon copying minis... But as a sculpter the potential for matching parts to the correct scale and joinery is very exciting for me
I wonder if using a dark wash on the mini before scanning would help? Help define the shadows and finer details better for the camera? I've seen some people use a spray designed for this purpose but they all have a tendency to fill in the details where as a wash is a lot thinner.
You should release a video on how to get over the fear of starting to paint your miniatures. Personally I’m staring at dozens of primed minis and I’m so indecisive about what colors to do and where to start
I know the feeling. If that helps: Just do it. Pick a color and run with it. Try it out. Paint is reversible. If you end up not liking it, you can always strip it off again, it's very easy to do.
I was wondering about the quality of this scanner and now I know, I'm sure the creators of the open scan will be happy. I believe there are also versions for use with phone cameras and DSLR's which will surely give better depth of field/quality than the Raspberry Pi camera.
This was really cool, what's cool is you could use some of the less detailed prints as an old statue in a diorama or in terrain left over from a civilization
I wonder if drybrushing the hidden areas that are out of focus a bit, like the toes, might help to pull them out and the printer would then add material there... no?
I've seen this video, and I bought one (in fact, I was so content, I bought another 2). It was soooooo great, I could scan my customized mini's and print them! Really awesome product, OpenScan Mini.....
Hey squid 🦑 new at painting miniatures, just finished my first one and I was wondering if you ever thought about doing videos where people send in pictures or even just their own miniatures they’ve painted to get some criticism from you on what they’ve done well and what they can improve on. Watching your videos has helped me immensely and are very entertaining.
It would be interesting to see how the process would be affected by a quick light zenithal highlight. Or a Matt varnish. I think the shiny resin won't be helping the process This uses photogrammetry. It has to identify the same point from multiple photos in different angles to build a mesh. So the flat looking, smooth shiny resin will really disrupt it's ability to do that.
You are absolutely right. Emil mentioned in another comment, that they used an airbrush to sprinkle the surface with tiny dots. Without those, the process would definitely not work..
@@openscan_eu oh hey! Love your work. I'm a embedded systems/computer vision engineering student and a miniatures hobbyist, so your scanners are extremely exciting for me 😁
All they need is a y axis for the scanner, the scanner can essentially only see what's in the center of the invisible sphere so if it has a y axis the sphere would be more like a pill shape and would fix the problem of it making higher things bigger and lower things smaller
pop one scanner should be for scanning people etc. it was never for scanning miniatures. but pop mini has had a lot of updates since they sent it to you. and please don't tell me you threw it out into the trash when you could have donated it to a school or something. i have used a lot of scanners over the years. and photogrammetry is one my favorite ways to scan. and i will be getting one of these. i have seen this scanner on some videos and will be getting one. but most times for miniatures you would need a jewelry scanner to capture details. the open scan comes very close. thanks for the videos. but again the pop range are good if your using it for what they are intended for. scanning larger objects and people. and faces. etc i use them to scan and make custom models for players :) using there own heads.
It's not literally been thrown out, we still have it ;) As for usage och the revpoint scanners, the brand reached out to us asking us to use it for our mini videos and they include a miniature in the box they send out for tests. So that's how we try it :)
@@SquidmarMiniatures i find the best way to scan with the mini for models. again depending on the size of the mode. is to drape a black bag over the side of the table and wear black nytril gloves as the scanner cant see them. then have the scanner sitting on your lap and rotate the part about in front of the scanner. i would also suggest downloading the latest software for it of there forums. and download the latest calibration software and calibrate the scanner if you want. but the main handy thing about the mini and pop range is they are portable and with a good phone it can do good scans. but mostly the revopoint scanners is a good all rounder :)
You should take one of the later prints and see how much detail you can add back with a well done paintjob. Maybe also do a speedpaint of the first print as comparison.
For a fun watch, movie called Multiplicity. Its about cloning, and then cloning a clone, then cloning the cloned clone. It's a great comedy. =) Based of same concept here, a photocopy of a photocopy loses its edge.
Great timing. I was just checking in again to where miniature scanning is at. This is looking like a solid option and affordable! I really hope to use it for projects and building armies for a dead game, Rackham's Rag'Narok. That printed dude's looking a bit like an equanimous warrior.
Okay, I honestly like how 31 turned out. I know it is not the exact model anymore after all the scans/prints but it would make a great Changeling or weather-worn statue.
This is pretty interesting. I've been using a scanning setup at the university with various bits of broken toys etc. to create kitbash/scratchbuild parts for my sculpting. My observation is that I've been able to get some decent quality, but there is always some degree of fidelity or detail loss. Now where we will be in a couple of years with better hardware and software, now that will be fun to see. Looking at some of the mid to later scans in the video, this also reminded me of seeing various vintage bootleg toys, where it was clear that the factory had used a less than optimal casting of the original toy! 😄
Can't remember who, but someone is slapping 100 coats of the same paint on a minie. And now you are scanning a copy of a minie, of a minie of a minie 100 times.... Interesting.
I am very new to this hobby. If I had a 3D scanner, I would use it quite differently: I would take the 3D digitized model into a program like Blender or Daz3D Studio, and use the program to visualize different colors in different simulated lighting conditions. This would not only allow experimentation with the color palette, but would give an idea of what realistic highlighting and shading would be for the model. Of course, adding scenery and other 3D figures would allow the model to be used in a hopefully artistic render as well. In any case, this video was a useful peek at the current state of the art for the scanning.
Those trends are getting weirder every video. 1st Midwinter Minis with 100 layers of paint then Squidmar with 100 (not really) scans. Both videos took serious hours to put together. I would rather watch making 100 different bases or painting 100 zombies using some different techniques. Point is this seems to be pretty much useless for an average viewer. I'd love to see something that I would be inspired by and use in my hobby projects. (But I realise that youtube is a hungry beast and you have to be creative to get views)
I understand your thought process, but we just make the videos we're excited about. I thought it was a really fun experiment to do and it shows how far the technology have come. And a fun coincidence we've planned the same type of experiment with different mediums on two different sides of the continent completely un aware of each other. There's no devious plan or urge to feed the algoritm, sometimes its easy to read that type of thing in to the videos we do :)
@@SquidmarMiniatures as someone who was looking into 3d scanning for printing i found the video quite useful, i was still under the impression that even open scan wasnt worth the time of day but im pleasantly surprised.... just because one person doesnt find it useful doesnt mean it isnt a useful video
Now paint it! Or better yet, give it to me and I'll gladly do it and send it back to you, I just want to see it painted. Also, for those that are sorta complaining about it being all pointless, Squidmar and co just released the best beginner painting tutorial just recently, let the man do a video for the lols.
My guess on growing prints is that the scanner picks up the surface at the outer pane and the printer adds percent of the nozzle width to the surface with each scan. The scanner picks up only differences in light and shadow and with growing numbers of thickness added these light informations reduce more and more. Has the first print the exact dimensions of the original? Are they getting taller with each print?
You should scan Lucas and your face. Send the file without seeing the results. Send the file to printers and forward them to different painters. Have them paint them. Send the file to sculptures and have them model and change your face with additional features. Then send the resculpted faces to painters. Then do a combined grand review of the work done
It will be interesting to see how the improve technology of scanning and 3-D printing industry compares to what happened in the music industry when Napster and the other share programs came around. another Very good video. 👏
Yes, it says quite a bit about the scanner to create such results and apparently in a relatively easy manner. The last print was more of an abstract sculpture than a copy of the original, a piece of art in its own right.
This is like editing a jpg to low rez & upscaling it again... ( it's pretty weird to use the same jpg as the source again. ) xD I think even with a great scan you'd do well with some quality ctrl & clean up pass.
Openscan is an amazing project- running the mini myself. Are you using the scan cloud or different software to get the STL? I’d be curious to see the difference in platforms
Something to consider about those first two scanners you trashed: I feel like they were probably better suited to scanning larger-scale items (1:4 models up to actual lifesize items) and then using the resulting scans to create small-scale models. You pushed them past their limits and, without surprise, their performance didn't meet your expectations.
the hole in the head probably appeared because of a specular highlight at this spot. 3d scanning is really sensitive to specular highlights in general. Did you varnish the minis with some ultra matte paint before scanning? I'm sure it would help a lot, especially if its some dark paint. Bright and specular materials are most dificult to scan. The original seems to have been quite glossy and bright, you lost a lot at that first step right there i'd guess
The original was primed matte black after we filmed the original view of it and we're using a white speckle paint on top as recommended by the creator of the scanner :)
I work for a scanning company and we sigh in unison when we see shiny or even worse transparent objects come for scanning. Lots of baby powder is required to deal with that monster.
@@cosmorunner23 i agree that this true for all other scanning methods, but photogrammetry can easily overcome the issue of specular highlights using aforementioned cross polarization. I wonder whether this might work with structured light too?!
@@openscan_eu Very good point, we do still struggle with certain objects especially when they are purely chrome or a translucent glass for example as to use the software the system needs to have tie in points it can recognise throughout multiple shots to stitch the images together as repeating texture or no texture won't build well, so introducing dust or markers that can be identified or manually used for aligning on certain software is the usual strategy. I do use a faro arm regularly and again a very fine level of dust and markers are usually applied in areas lacking detail to help it build but of course that's using software to manually help it allign.
Can't wait for another year to pass and 3d scanning and printing is the norm, would like one myself but can't think of a use case, cause I don't paint or play Warhammer
I demand to see the 100th scan! Maybe it will show some ancient demons face if you scan it enough times. Like peeling of the layers of lies with each scan

Can you guys do a comparison of STL vs GW minis?

The fact that you could reasonably with 2nd or 3rd generation copies is REALLY impressive.
You should 3D scan your own face then put it on a miniature and paint it, I'm sure it'll make for an amazing video
Eons of Battle did something among these lines. Scanned their faces and added to 40k models.
Tabletop time too
Ay Thats a really cool idea
Good idea. I want my face on all ogres in my blood bowl team 😅

if you take pictures of them all together you could make a cool stopmotion of the mini basically melting
you successfully deepfried a physical object. 2016 would be proud
A few more rounds and you’d have credible Henry Moore sculpture!
I guess compensation for lens distortion is slightly slight off. So the error is magnified for each cycle.
He just evolved from a warrior type to a mage type as this went along, and ended up as a disable veteran of war holding a crutch. 😢
Looks like a wizards mini by the end
Model 31 would be a perfect fit for the 100 layers of contrast paints ;)
I wonder if using a dark wash on the mini before scanning would help? Help define the shadows and finer details better for the camera? I've seen some people use a spray designed for this purpose but they all have a tendency to fill in the details where as a wash is a lot thinner.
So funny this comes right after the 100 layers of Paint midwinters video
some of the later prints would be cool as an aged statue, as the drop in clarity is like the wearing of the stone

Okay, I honestly like how 31 turned out.
I know it is not the exact model anymore after all the scans/prints but it would make a great Changeling or weather-worn statue.

There is one important rule: "Scan responsibly" ;)

With better defined shape, it may pick up details easily.

@@openscan_eu Very good point, we do still struggle with certain objects especially when they are purely chrome or a translucent glass for example as to use the software the system needs to have tie in points it can recognise throughout multiple shots to stitch the images together as repeating texture or no texture won't build well, so introducing dust or markers that can be identified or manually used for aligning on certain software is the usual strategy. I do use a faro arm regularly and again a very fine level of dust and markers are usually applied in areas lacking detail to help it build but of course that's using software to manually help it allign.
Oh no, guy has restarted the trend
Yes we managed to do two months of work in two days lol ;)
@@SquidmarMiniatures lmao no I get it, dw. Love your content and always will
You could send the models out to painters, and then have a contest to see who did the best job!
Can't wait for another year to pass and 3d scanning and printing is the norm, would like one myself but can't think of a use case, cause I don't paint or play Warhammer
I demand to see the 100th scan! Maybe it will show some ancient demons face if you scan it enough times. Like peeling of the layers of lies with each scan
If you would have just watched the movie Multiplicity with Michael Keaton you would have already known the outcome of this. "I like pizza."
