    Default 3D Scans or models available of FE?

    I know this is a long shot, but I am wondering if anyone has any 3D scans or other 3D models of the FE body. I am particularly looking for the top of the roll hoop cover and perhaps rear end of the engine cover.

    Checkout Polycam app for iPhone. You might be able to make your own and feed into 3d software. I just discovered the app so haven’t tried it yet.

    I tried it today. They give you free seven capture and renders, but pretty much charge immediately for any export aside from GLTF. I love when a free trial requires a credit card. I didn't sign up for the free trial.

    I tried capturing the roll hoop cover twice and unfortunately it appears that my first capture was better. I only really needed a 4x4" patch on the top of the roll hoop cover. There were large holes in the rendering near that area, but I probably just got that envelope covered (see photo). When I exported in GLTF and then converted to STL (the format I needed) the mesh was much bumpier than expected. Not sure what caused that. Ultimately I need the general shape up there to subtract from a squared bottom camera mount so the updated mount has that contour.

    I am glad I tried the app instead of buying a nice fancy 3D scanner, but I had about 3-4 things I wanted to scan and I don't think that's happening with this app.
