Hi to all,
Please find below update regarding to my new project;
Waiting for your comments
Regards
Ozgur


application of reference points


white dots with black borders for reference


zebra lines during scanning prosses


atos 3d scanning device


it's better to change elevation for better scanning of bottom areas


application running, i know it's dell but at least os is suse gnu/linux


raw stl data on rhino3d


revised stl data on rhino3d


it's not so bad when i've had a comparison between my initial wings3d model (green) and scanned math data (red)

I sent email to these guys a couple of times and never got a response. Guess like a lot of places, no one wants to take a chance with guys who order from overseas with fears of money laundering or credit card rejects after the goods are sent. Would have been a great way to ship a body overseas, sure cut the cost.

Ozgur, thats pretty neat. Are you going to verify the scanned data by measuring a real car? Like verify interior dimensions, headlight/tailight spacing, etc to make sure they are correct? I'm just curious about the procedures used with this method.

Really cool technology you got there Ozgur.

Hi,
i've created 3d model of 289fia couple years ago, before gmp released particular car.
FYI, scanned data format is STL which is basically polygon data, i need class A surfaces for next step
i'm checking now, real car dimensions vs. my 3d model vs. scanned math data.
I do not have any plan to sell bodies, this is my pet project
10 years passed after my 427 built, but now i would like to built 289.
Regards,
Ozgur

I thought it was Miles' car but 2431 has cut-back doors. It looks like the model does not and that's what threw me.
I know... I'm picking nits! It IS really cool!

I have this model sitting here on my desk at work. It has the correct cut-back doors:

I see now Russ, thanks!
The door should go a little farther back on the model, to the edge of the fender. On the one photo taken from above, there is a little bit of body between the fender and door.
Don't get me wrong though, it's not a big deal.
Larry

Dang-it! You're absolutely right. Now that I look at it more closely, the rear fender flares aren't big enough either, and the front edge of the hood scoop doesn't have the proper curvature. In addition, the gumball placement on the nose is incorrect.

That's it, I'm putting an M80 in this thing.

Hi Simon,
I'm using now meshlab (http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/) for cleaning of STL data and development version of rhino3d osx (http://www.irhino3d.com) for orientation of math data.
As soon as i've done with all corrections, i'll use CATIA for class A surface work and 5 axis CNC milling of model.
Regards,
Ozgur

Great project, please keep us informed! I'd love to see some pictures of the milling process.
