Dang that sucks, but I may be able to find another source for the 3d interior. I came across a file on Turbosquid that was supposed to have been 3d scanned. So it may be accurate enough to us for placement of my modified dash piece.

I picked up a Kinect to test how it is going to scan! I'll post some pictures later on the process!

Alright Guys,

Sorry I'm a little behind on the posts. I finally got to unbox my Kinect and hook it up and scan some stuff. Super exciting... then... nothing. After a lot of research and digging I found that my AMD motherboard is incompatible with kinect. So I had to rush an Intel motherboard replacement in for my computer from Newegg. Going to be rebuilding my desktop tonight so I may be able to scan tomorrow.

Alright everyone,

I have made some unsuccessful attempts to scan simple things with the Kinect. But they did not work out well. So I have made an appointment with Jeff at Direct Dimensions in Baltimore tomorrow for a professional scan and model.

I'm having to dish out some dough but hopefully it will be worthwhile. I'll be posting more pictures soon!

I have been talking with some vendors lately trying to get a feel for cost of a few items. Specifically the case I will be designing to fit all the PC parts. I found the screen that I will be using if it fits into the custom dash. It is a 15.6in wide screen monitor! Supporting 1080P graphics.

If it ends up fitting, the screen will lay portrait style with split screen. The upper will mainly control GPS and video, while the lower will control the radio, custom gauges, and climate controls (pending on abilities)!

Check out tomorrow for new pics of the scans and of Direct Dimensions site!

Alright everyone,

I'm about to do a photo dump on you guys. I just got finished with Jeff out at Direct Dimensions in north Baltimore. I strongly advise these guys in the Mid-Atlantic if you need some scanning done. Very awesome and professional guys out there!

I got the dash pulled apart with the cubby, vents, and switches removed.

We got a couple of shots as Jeff was using the Faro ScanArm to scan in all the heavy contours of the interior. Man there is so much more detail on these scans than a Kinect will ever get FTW!

I had to get the guy covered in foot powder to get a good scan. At least I know its going to be smelling fresh for a while lol!
