Thread: Scanning probe

  1. #1

    Default Scanning probe

    If you're curious about how the scanning probe works, here are some photos from a scan that I just did for my Ford Bronco "woody" golf cart project.

    This is a Ford Bronco emblem mounted in one of my sleds, ready for scanning.

    This is the raw scan. The scan area is about 3" x 4.5" x .5" thick. The scan with best quality took about an hour.

    The Pattern Editor De-Noise Filter applied at max setting cleaned quite a bit up.

    The pattern was lowered in Pattern Editor to eliminate the background. A bit of Smooth Filter applied, a bit of Trim Edges Filter, and finally Round Edges Filter to complete the pattern.

    Finally, the pattern applied to a steering wheel center cap.

    Same here! Haven't used mine either. But after seeing these results and the explanation of the process, I will have to give it a try!
    Being housebound it will be a good activity!

    And I will be making a pair of emblems for the front fenders, along with the Bronco script.
