1. Prepare the object and make sure it has enough geometry and texture details. Objects that are difficult to scan include objects with very dark surfaces, highly reflective or shiny objects, transparent objects like glass, some plastics, etc., objects with very thin edges e.g crumpled paper.
2. Provide even lighting without using direct sunlight.
3. Open Artec Studio 14, if you have connected the Artec Eva Scanner, the software will automatically select it.
4. Create a new project before getting started: use the + button in the Workspace panel, select File – New Project from the menu, or use the shortcut Ctrl +N. Once you have saved the project, you will be able to load or unload scans as necessary and thereby limit RAM usage.
5. Decide how many session you need in order to capture the entire object. By using a special third-party rotating table, you may be able to avoid interrupting the session and eliminate the need to turn the object by hand. Depending on your choice, you may
   • Turn the object
   • Position yourself to gain access to the other area.
   • Use a rotating table.
6. Click Preview or press play on the handle of the scanner. Direct your scanner at the object and practice your movements around the object, taking into account the proper Scanning Techniques.
   
   
   
   
7. Identify the base plane for the mode by directing the scanner at the surface that supports the object and click Record to start capturing.
8. Gradually move the scanner while monitoring the process in the 3D View Window.
9. Capture what you can and pause or cease recording by clicking the Pause or Stop button, respectively. Choose Stop if you must make adjustments to the object’s positioning.
10. Turn the object or otherwise adjust it as necessary, then capture any remaining unscanned regions.

11. Once you have successfully captured the object from all sides, click the Stop button on either the scanner handle or in Artec Studio.

• Pay closer attention to the object on the screen rather than looking at the actual object.
• Ensure that Artec Studio can accurately register frames from the scanner. To this end, do the following:
  • Don’t move the scanner too fast
  • Keep the object as close to the center of the field of view as possible
  • Maintain the scanner orientation in such a way that the field of view is sufficiently filled with surfaces
  • Try to position the scanner in the way the most surfaces in the field of view are colored in green which corresponds to the center of the range meter.

• If you’re capturing an object over several scans, remember to capture a common area in each one to ensure successful alignment.
• If you’re capturing an object in one scan, do so all the around the object – regardless of direction – plus a little more (360+ degrees)
• Avoid capturing any objects that may change shape during the scanning process. When the geometry of the scene is changing, the system may fail to find the correct position of new frames relative to previously aligned ones. If you have captured unwanted objects, you must remove them later during the editing stage.
• Don’t record too many frames: ensure that you have sufficiently scanned all regions, but avoid scanning them twice, except when providing overlapping areas for subsequent alignment.
