JESUS CHRIST ... 2022 and this video is pure gold. THANK YOU!
I like how the kinect was specifically designed for games but absolutely failed in that category but when it came to other stuff like these,it does quite an excellent job.
To be fair, I still use it for games. With driver4vr I use it for body tracking since my hmd has no base stations or tracking itself.
@@TheGamersDen You use it for VR?
@@DKDK-xg1wq same i just got it working for driver4vr, full body tracking baby

WOW this has blown my mind, it's just brilliant what you done there.
Awesome! To delete unwanted parts you can also reveal all and alt select and then delete parts that appear in all scans. That saves a lot of work. When building also don't forget to set the alignment on mesh geometry like (not) shown in the video.
just tried it and it works well with no issues. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the concise video. It was very educational and it will assist me greatly in building my 3d scanning rig.
Dude this is awesome. Im surprised you dont have alot of subscribers because you make awesome high quality stuff.
Thanks so much Foerunner, glad you enjoy them!
This is very helpful! Thanks for the tutorial.
This video made me a fan, just subscribed. Thank you for giving us knowledge for free
My pleasure! Hoping to get the chance to produce some new videos soon!
Wow This was really amazing
Very informative,Easy to follow Thank-you for your time and effort i have subscribed
Great video. Works realy fine for me. Thanks!
thanks for this, worked great. Had a little trouble with Kinect V1 with Windows 10 but installed older version of the SDK and then it worked.
Hey Don, so glad it's working for you. Have fun 3D scanning :)
Works great thanks, I can scan myself within 32 pics and the final model looks great and smooth
In case some don't know, you don't have to do the clean-up one by one necessarily. You can select all images (ctrl-a) and do the cleanup by rotating the scans to the best point of view and select desired points to delete all at once. :)
FYI, I took a picture and saved your comment for future referencing. Thank you good sir! 👍
Great Video! Thanks a lot for the info!
Great Tutorial, Thanks buddy, Keep up the amazing content !
You got yourself a new Sub !
Hi there, so glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the sub.
Excellent! I have an engine/trans that I need a model of and I have a Kinect sensor already. Looks like this will save me a bunch of time modeling
Glad to help
Awesome tutorial mate.
Thanks buddy! :)
Thank you!! I will try !!! 😁
Your videos was very cool. Thanks for video.
WOW amazing!
Thank you and have a great day.
Thank you! I hope you had a lovely day yourself and sorry for the late reply!
Good tutorial. I would be even more helpful if you showed the final mesh without texture as well. Also, you exported the file but didn't state what file format you used.
Question: Can you combine the point cloud data with photogrammetry to be used in Photoscan or Realtycapture?
Thanks you, i follow your tutorial, it is work.
Glad it helped! :)
Thank you, I just stumbled across an old one of these Xbox relics and have actually been accustomed to using very expensive handhelds like Artec and Creoform with their native corresponding software. Of course these opportunities were not dependent on self funding or I would be in financial debt to the amount of what would buy me a nice 5 bed home in a desirable neighborhood! I’ve been quite impressed lately with the IPhone apps for the “true-depth” scanning options which are very impressive in quality and ease of use, not to mention price, free at best! LiDAR phone functionality is also very fast and accurate for mapping larger spaces and I can’t help but feel maybe a bit sorry for the specialized companies that might miss out on $30k+ and a software package with that lovely annual maintenance built in, for a meager IPhone 13 pro max with all of the laser tracking goodies and billions in research spent to get you a pocket scanner for about $1200, or monthly payments! I like the Xbox unit because it is purpose built to some degree and I am very happy to see there is a free supporting software out there that seems pretty straightforward and effective. Have to give it a go and see how she does with my old Sager metrology machine, so excited!
Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for commenting. Would love to hear how you get on!
I also notice the area that wasn't scanning before was down to light refraction with metallic you might want to spray it with chalk so the light doesn't reflect and causes issues
Many many thanks mate
You are most welcome!
Tks ! im code kinect openCV openpose with c++, your code will help i lean
Great video!! I was about to purchase a very expensive scanner!! Thank you very much!! I've subscribed and looking forward to watching the rest of your videos!! Thanks!! where can I purchase tri pod for kinect?
Thanks Mickey, glad it helped. Unfortunately I don't know of any mass produced adapters to fit a kinect to a tripod. I 3D printed an adapter for mine.
Awesome video!
Thanks Sasha! Glad you liked it
what is the extension of the final file to save? I mean what options does the program provide for saving the file? Thank you for the great video !
Thanks for showing this software!
I just got a 3D Printer and a Kinect v2 WITH the windows hub.
Windows own 3D scan misalignes the texture and Skanect does not recognize the depth sensor. This K Scan is working like a charm, like a very expensive piece of software! :)
Are kinect v2 and XBox One Kinect the same? I 've read a research about a different type of software working with kinect v2. Now, I am looking for the equipments and so confused . :)
Jep I think so but there is a Kinect for Windows and a regular Kinect V2 (xbox one). There is no real difference, maybe just some drivers.
thank you so much!
how did you download the software ? can you send me the software if possible please.
I just got the Xbox 360 kinect an hour ago.. went to the link for kscan3d and it still works.. had to hard restart my computer a couple times but now I'm connected with the Kinect.. and just like you said, the kinect did not show an image until I clicked devices and Reconnect... and bam... it started scanning.. good video.. by the way.. connected on my PC windows 8 .. now just have to wait until my Ender 3 arrives.. ordered today...
Nice bro, 2 weeks ago I got Kinect V2, it works like a charm, now I'm waiting for a special background box for 3d scanning. And maybe I'll buy a 3d printer too.
very nice tuto! You tried that with the kinect2 or the azure kinect?
Hi there, thanx for the upload. Do you know if Reconstructme works with the Xbox One?
I wonder if this can be used to scan the interior of a car? Our company builds roll cages for competition cars and the CAD information for the bodyshell isn't always available. If I could use the Kinect to scan the interior, I can then export to CAD to build the model for the roll cage. This would be especially useful for older vehicles where interior CAD data does not exist.
Hi, Looks great What formats does it support for exporting?
This is pretty cool. Do you have a video on how to export this sort of thing to unity to build avatars?
pretty cool i will use it in my project, what format comes out ?
Hi! very usefull video. what kind of support did you use for the kinect? and where t obuy? is a telescopic stick? thanks
Thanks my Bro!
Any time!
OK I have noticed that there are a few different model numbers of the Kinect under the V1. Are there better models than others? Thank you for your help.
would the v2 kinect for the xbox one yield better results? I can modify it or get the AC plug adapter to power it that's not problem but wondering 3d render quality wise?
this thing is masterpiece
You are a masterpiece!
I need scan food. Witch scanner do you recomend? What about sony xpirea xz phone? I need a low cost and good quality
Nice one!
Are you using windows 10 64bits? If yes. Can you guide us setting it up?
Thanks
Hi. Thanks a lot for the tutorial! I made an scan only one turn (360º, fixed Kinect angle), and I got an scanned model.
But I made another one with two kinect angles (two turns with different angle, as I understand you suggest in the video), and result was a complete mess... Should I tell the program that there are 2 turns anywhere?
well produced.. I want to scan a van interior to fit as camper any advise apprciated
how do you not have more subs great video
Thanks Jerry. The channel is fairly new but growing steadily. Thanks for the vote of encouragement :)
Amazing ....behold my beer world it about to get real around the shop😅💚💚💚💚love the content extremely enlightening
Hope you enjoy it!
When you export, can you turn it into a step file or ipt, so you can modify it??.
i also wanted to know if you can export an stl file for the point cloud to be used for cnc machining
Thanks, man
No worries, glad you enjoyed!
Brilliant
Nice Tutorial, Thank You, I just bought the Xbox scanner on ebay for $29.. Now I gotta wait for the Snail Mail... What software do they make for Linux ?
How do you align properly? When I move the camera to get the top and bottom, the images don't merge like yours do. Each of the 3 sets (from different angles) form their own images but never seem to merge. I'm using the Kinect v2. It works well if I only have one angle but then I get a hole on top of the head if I don't take the top angle.
Could you 3D megalith rocks and piece them together
does it produce a model that is correct scale to the real world or do you have to rescale it after?
Did you get around to making the photogramatry tutorial?
hi there, i have seen this video and i find it amazing. im at the beginning on trying to learn about 3d scan and 3d printing this is a great platform to start but i have a small doubt, you scanned the external part of the helmet but how about if i wanted to scan also the interior? what should be the steps within this tutorial? thanks!
Hi Antonio, I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for the comment.
Unfortunately the interior gets a lot more complicated. You may have limited luck scanning that with photogrammetry, but really, unless you're able to take it apart and scan it in pieces, you'd be better off just taking measurements and modeling from scratch.
Would i be able to use a kinect to scan the engine bay of a car?
I fully acknowledge i don't know how the Kinect technology works and i assume someone else would have though of this if it were an option but...since the kinect uses infrared light as of its technology and that seems to be sensitive to temperature (right?) would figuring out a way to vary the temperature of the object have some kind of bearing on the result? I mean holding a cold compress over an area with a lot of textures and maybe evenly a applying some heat from a hair dryer to another area? Is that not how it works?
Are you able to show how you get it to import with colour into Bambu studio
are there softwares for the one kinect in the meantime? that are good?
how small an item can it scan? Im working on making custom parts for a toy line to make them backwards compatible with its prior generations,
How to you 3d scan an item on the inside and outside in one (lets say the outside of a cup) but I am scanning a cup) and you put it upside down to scan the whole of the outside and the detail (lets say it has lots of detail, but you want to scan the inside that has lots of detail as well. I appreciate you will need to do more than one scan but can the two scans be merged to make one image to print on a 3d printer. The inside has details that are as important as the outside, the item will not be solid like a cup. I just wanted to know as a newby if this can be done and how using a kinect......Thanks
Are you able to get quality scans of a hunan with this technic? could you demonstrate that workflow please??????????????
I would want to actually try doing this.
Do it, I got a kinect and it's awesome, with a kinect you can scan in 3D and even make mocap animations!
tried the software you and not install my Kinect just wondering is it due to using windows 10 tried all the versions and still will not scan to find the Kinect looks like I will have to spend a lot of money to buy a 3D scanner but what to go for....great video by the way...
can i use nyko zoom instead of offical kinect?
I've followed your video and all appears as if it has worked however all I see in the right hand window is a black screen. Any ideas?
will this work with the newer kinects?
Do you know where I can download now the K-Scan software? it is not possible anymore from their website.... :(
How do you do a 3D video capture with the Kinect?
Hello and thanks for your Video. Im tryin to find kinect 1414 to buy, but i found another models: LPF-00057 and/or 1473. Would this Models do this work too? Thank you.
Hey Christo, my pleasure. the 1473 is absolutely suitable! It is actually the slightly newer version of the 1414 which Microsoft released when they realised people were starting to use with computers. So whilst 1414 works absolutely fine, technically, 1473 should be an even simpler setup.
Would it be possible to do something like this for video?
What about scanning small objects, like 28mm scale miniatures?
Would it require additional (macro-like?) lens ?
cthulpiss no, it’s too small for the camera. This camera can only scan objects that are at least several cm
So what 3d printer do you use
im forced to use rubbish windows 10 and i have a 1414 model and i can not get it to work. is there anything else that i can do apart from buying an xbox 1 kinect
. thanks
what if you used a record player instead of a lazy susan? could you have it take like 30-60 scans a second? I know it would take more processing time, but I'm wondering if the higher density of scans would deliver better results.
Absolutely, this would work. Probably wouldn't be able to run 60 frames a second but 30 may be doable. It's definitely something worth experimenting with if you have one available. Set the deck to the lowest speed you can to start with and increase it until you find a good equilibrium between speed and quality. More scans definitely improves quality.
Great video, is kscan really free?, i dont see a price, whats the catch?
Thanks. Kscan is indeed completely free and absolutely no catch (unless you count the fact that all support for it is community based). Basically, it was an experimental side project that they ended up pushing out for free to aid in development in the area.
Yikes, that's a lot of work. Cool helmet. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed. it!
In my program Mesh editor "build" button is freeze, I can´t push it. Do youknow why? thank you
Does anyone have a code project about this software? I want to understand how it works clearly. Please help me. Thanks
Is this better then using photos?
I wonder if there's a way to connect (no pun intended) to multiple Kinect cameras for better and cleaner results. For example, on the professional 3d scanners, you stand in a chamber with multiple cameras in it and they all take a shot at you all at once. That's the idea I was referring to.
Yes you can connect multiple Kinects at a time to scan a greater area faster.
there is a zoom attachment for the Kinect sensor, is that something that I should get to scan small objects, or should I ignore that?
I've not tried it but I don't believe it'll magnify the projector component so may cause issues with the scanning function rather than improving them.
Hello and Good day sir. can i ask a question? which windows are you using for this kinect 360?
Hi there El Enix, I believe it was Windows 10 I was running at the time. It could have been Windows 7 but I'm pretty sure I was running 10 by the time I produced this video.
When you scanned the helmet, did the data become generated into the computer so that it could track a persons head while in a game or app?
It can be tracked with other softwares but not with this software.
idk what I did wrong when scanning and editing my coffee mug, but the build button didn't really work out too well
I have a problem, if I am going to scan, k scan doesn't build the scan well. one side is closed but the other side not at all. Can anybody help me pls?
How can I get K-Scan hun? Ive looked for it but can't seem to find it anywhere :-(
Could you export the model to solid works etc and then build off it? Thinking being to scan an engine bay and model a tube frame from it
jonathanfp123 this is exactly what I was wondering as well
Same here ! I wonder how precise is it to be able to take measurements too for engine mount , custom oil pan etc
You could start modelling of course but it wont be precise at all (at least not when it comes to mechanically precision), should still be a good starting point if you know your CAD software.
Sound like informer iL the kinect and the kinect and if the kinect but nothing on how until a while
Have you tried with the Kinetic v2? i got one last week at gamestop for 15 bucks! trouble is i have to buy the blasted adapter.
I haven't personally ye tried this with the V2 (By which I presume you mean the XBox One Kinect?). However it should be compatible with this software, though some other software packages it isn't. If you do have that model however, you can also use MIcrosoft's offical one if you're running windows 8 or later: www.microsoft.com/en-gb/store/p/3d-scan/9nblggh68pmc
You can easily modify the Kinect V2 to use an off the shelf ac adapter and a standard USB 3.0 cable.
Hi, do you know if the scanning quality with v2 is better then the v1 ?
Felice Caccamo I guess it probably is
Felice Caccamo the Kinect V2 uses time-of-flight and Kinect V1 uses structured light. Time-of-flight has a few advantages, one being improved spatial resolution, which is good for body tracking and gestures, but means more noise, and sensitivity to the colour and material of objects for the use of 3d scanning. Some softwares will probably counter for that so it might be down to what software you use to get the most out of the V2
Hey, at 7:15 how you select all, i am unable to do so
Can you use the ps4 camera?
What do you recommend as a replacement for K-Scan since it's no longer available?
I'm experimenting at the moment so planning on releasing some videos to report on my findings .
Hi :-) Today 7jan2020! Is it still possible to download K-Scan? I don't find :-(
