When you scan with Intel RealSense at Wacom computer, the default scanning mode is Real-time Fusion. This means you build your 3D model as you scan. The software processes your data as you capture it and you will end up with a complete 3D model. However, if you need a more thorough 3D model, you may process scans either manually or by using Autopilot.
If you use scans from Real-time fusion session, don’t forget to clear the eye flag near the model called Scan1-Fusion before you start processing.
Using Autopilot
- Tap Autopilot in the left sidebar, then tap OK
- Autopilot prompts you to select scans. Tap Next.
- In the Model creation dialog, specify the following parameters (use the (?) buttons to open the detailed tips):
- Decide on the Object size by referring to the image samples.
- Leave out the default values for the remaining options in this window for most of the cases.
- Select the Texture resolution checkbox if you need a textured model.
- Next step will prompt you to edit your model. If you see any extraneous object or surfaces, tap Next. Otherwise, tap Skip this step.
- Select the desired erasure mode. Tap 2D selection if you’re unsure.
- Ensure that you configured the Pad Pen and ExpressKeys as it is suggested below.
- Hit this ExpressKey that is assigned to Ctrl .
- While still holding Ctrl, aim Pen’s nib at the screen and adjust the Eraser size by pressing Pen’s upper or lower switch side
- Then still holding Ctrl, touch with Pen’s nib the model’s region that you want to erase
- Tap Erase
- Tap Next. If the object was captured over several scans, Autopilot will align them and show you the result. You can approve it or align the scans manually.
- Tap Next and wait for a model to appear in the right panel.
- Mark it with the eye flag and clear the flag from the other scans.
- You’re done.
Obtaining Model Manually
You can also follow the post-processing steps manually, as the diagram prescribes. Consult the respective coverage in the User manual.
Using Model for Measurements
Open the Measures, then select one of the following:
- Linear for distance calculation (points are connected by lines)
- Geodesic for distance calculation (points are connected by curves that pass over the model surface)
- Sections for area and volume calculation. For more info, see this article.
Exporting Model
Other applications include exporting and publishing model. To export the model:
- Open File → Export mesh.
- Select the required format (OBJ is the most common one), specify the folder and file name, then tap OK.
Configure Wacom tablet (optional)
For a better user experience with Artec Studio on Wacom, assign keystrokes to the tablet keys and side switch of the Pro Pen as it is described here.
