Tesla styled screen setup

Alright here's the final pic for a bit. The scan is done and now its time for me to get it back to the house and start tearing apart this model. Keep an eye out for the updates on the design!

Also, I am still pretty new to the forums here I would like to upload the point cloud that I bought from Direct Dimensions. So that if you guys from the community can use it will be available. But the file is way too large, if you guys have any workarounds hit me up. And happy modding everyone!

Nice work. Definitely interested in the results

If you have a Dropbox account with enough space to store the file, you can share a public link to the file.

I did a practice scan on a lower intake manifold yesterday with the system I have here at Rolls-Royce. Here are a few screen shots.

Those scans are amazing man! To bad I wasn't able to get out there with you. I was still able to get some decent scans. I just can't wait to get off work to get home and start back on my models. Super stoked for what comes next!!

Thanks. I am going to scan the upper intake manifold next week. That may be a little more difficult. The system I use, uses reference points to create the model, unlike the one you went to that uses a CMM to create the model. The downside to mine is I have to paint my parts usually (washable paint) then I have to stick these little dots all over it (which is annoying) but it can scan with amazing detail. I am going to see about converting the files I have into some modeling software to play with the images.

Let me know I have access to some programs that help with that if you run into some problems.

Thanks. I am going to go with a wider lens set on monday and get a slightly less detailed scan of the upper and lower intake manifolds just to get the file size down. The ATOS file for that lower intake manifold is 19GB!!! But with the small lens i used it took me around 300 scans to get the detail that I did. The point Cloud .stl file is 3.9GB. I have it hosted in my drop box in a zip file which got it down to 1.9GB haha.

I wasnt able to get solidworks to open any of the files yet. I have a few more "save as" options on the files I am going to try.

I've been playing around in 3d this weekend making some components and sizing down my model. So I figured I would show you all what I have been up to..

Oh and check out my Tesla screen album for other pictures not shown here!

So I spent a lot of time over the weekend and last night finding specifics on the core components of the computer and put them into 3d. Including a simplified dash model. I managed to get the file down from 3 million polygons down to around 50,000. Now that I have a workable model I will be reshaping it to fit the large screen!

I will post some more pictures when I get home tonight!

I finally had a chance to take a couple pictures of some a the components I have been working on. This is a slim DVD burner to play your physical media. I have also modeled the RAM sticks and Solid State Drive. But they just weren't as cool looking as these lol.

I spent 3 hours last night working on the dash model, and had just started putting in some detail. All of a sudden the program freezes up and gives me a fatal error! So it turns out I hadn't saved at all and lost every bit of my work.... Back to the drawing board...
