Beer Cellar Statue - Creality Sermoon P1 IR mode
This statue is part of a beer cellar entry. Only noticed it by chance when going for a walk.
Scanning
Scanning was done with the Sermoon P1 in large IR mode with geometry tracking. I moved around the statue in circles and in a second pass after checking for coverage I filled in gaps for the overhangs. With initial firmware versions the P1 only could do 5-7fps in IR mode standalone, with the latest version it reaches a stable 19-20FPS. With the increased speed the scan only took roughly 5min without any tracking problems.
Post-Processing
For post processing I first transferred the scan data from the P1 to my workstation. You can either do it by cable where a nice import menu opens or over WiFi where you select the project on the scanner, join the hotspot of the scanner with your PC and send it to the PC (option I chose, simply less cables and quite fast with up to 120MB/s from testing). I then fused the scan at 1mm with 25% noise removal to retain detail (default noise removal tends to be a bit high) and meshed it with default settings. Quicksurface was used to align the scan and reduce triangle count.
Result
Best have a look at Sketchfab, quite content with the result. Finally IR mode is a joy to use standalone, hope they will bring hybrid geometry and texture tracking at some point.
Sketchfab
Sketchfab is like printables for 3d scans with a nice integrated viewer in browser and you can also download the scan, just look at the scan yourself.
Reddit sadly blocks the short links to Sketchfab, you have to search for the title instead: "Beer Cellar Statue - Creality Sermoon P1"
