Skanect VS meshmixer

I use Skanect with my high school students. Like others said, it's pretty blobby, but works for miniatures that I make the kids. I'm not sure if it still exists after the buyout, but the "try" version used to be free with the caveat of only being a 5000 poly export (I usually export at around a million for my models).

Skanect works the best, but you also need to install the OpenNI2 drivers. Skanect is also a paid program, in theory, although you can eternally use the trial version just fine if you know how to be creative with the options the trial version freely offers., last I knew. I liked it enough to purchase the most recent version after skimming by with the workarounds for a while. Source: almost 3 years ago

I got the pro version of Skanect 1.11 from: Https://skanect.occipital.com/. Source: almost 3 years ago

To add a bit to what others are saying. Mesh mixer is sometimes a great tool for some of this. Source: 8 months ago

Ah right. If you can't get the source file, you could try smoothing them out in meshmixer. Source: 10 months ago

The quickest fix I know is to use the free meshmixer. Source: about 1 year ago

There are programs such as Meshmixer specifically intended to do that, others such as Blender which can do a good job (but beware of missing surfaces or inside-out triangles) and some CAD programs such as Fusion 360 which have the ability to convert meshes. Even Tinkercad can make some changes. It's always better to get a CAD file in a common interchange format such as a STP (STEP) file if you can, though. Source: about 1 year ago

Meshmixer seems to be no longer in developement, with their integration of similar features with fusion360 according to their site https://meshmixer.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
