Scans from TC2 company















The TC2 company (http://www.tc2.com) does not advertize it, but they provide free anonymous scans of male and female subjects. To obtain them, download the software for the NX16 scanner (take the standalone version, you have a 30 days license).

In the 'Sample data' folder (where u installed the soft) you will find several .rbd files. Open one and test the software feature (e.g. data extraction). In order to get mesh out of the scans (.obj or .vrml) do "Batch process" in the menu, select all the files you want, and check "Save RBD as OBJ" ; wait a bit and here you are !

I will come back on this blog to inform you on my attemps to have MH automatically adjust a model to match body data from a NX16 scan.

  1. I installed the scanner software but couldn't get it to come up in order to open the RBD files. I would get error messages that the scanner was missing and it would shut down the software. Are there other ways to open or import the RBD files and change them to OBJ?

  2. I had this problem trying to execute it without administrator permissions...
