Today we’ll be checking out a free 3D scanning app for your Smart Phone called Display.land! You can scan objects with your phone and output them straight from your phone to your 3D software of choice – including Cinema 4D.

👉You can download the free app for android or OS here: https://displayland.app.link/a27HTIjNs3

UPDATE: you could also try this method for re-texturing your 3D scans: t.ly/w8Xge

Author:Dave Bergin

Hey it’s Dave from CG Shortcuts! I’m a freelance 3D and Motion Graphics Artist based in London where I’ve been working and teaching in the industry for over 10 years. I hope to share some of the tips and tricks I’ve picked up over the years while working with some pretty big clients in Europe, Australia and the USA . Hopefully I can help you through all the boring technical stuff so you can concentrate on what really matters… lens flares!…(kidding)… the creative stuff! I’d love to see what you guys create with the skills you learn in the classes! So please feel free to share on the project page or join our Facebook community. You can also find a load of free tutorials on our YouTube Channel! or check out our Website! Let’s make better digital art! -Dave Bergin Shortcuts to better digital art from a freelance digital artist

    The Results are pretty crappy compared to other photogrammetry software. I would suggest just recording a video and converting it to a image sequence and plugging that into Meshroom (Freeware). The Results are way better and it’s not that complicated. Also you don’t have to upload your Data to a Cloud somewhere… a little more privacy 🙂

    Would the 3D image be used for 3d printing?

    you can use bake the texture to low polygon
    but first you need to re uvmap the low topology polygon
    then use blender to bake the texture to uv map texture
    i suggest the topology create by your hand with simple object, grater than auto quad mesh(for difficult object)

    I have a Mi Max 3, and apparently it’s not enough for this software. What the hell?
