Your scan result and car are both amazing, truly enviable 
! Is there any difference in experience between scanning with the car door open and with it closed?
That’s an amazing scan! What area do you start with and what is your general scan flow around the car?
My scan look nothing like that. Lol. Amazing!
Hi, frydrce
If you encounter any difficulties during scanning or have any questions about using the device, feel free to leave a message here, and we will provide assistance. The operation videos in the tutorials can also serve as a reference. We hope you have a great experience!

Hi! I’m really sorry I missed your message and didn’t reply earlier. I’d be more than happy to give my permission! I’ve actually scanned a few more cool cars since then and would be glad to share some additional images too

Thanks! really good scan, appreciate your sharing!
Hi,
Could you please share with us your scan setting, like: resolution, align mode, texture, etc.
We will share you achievement to more users on our social media channel!
Sure! I’ll elaborate a bit — feel free to pick and choose what works best for your post.
I’m a vehicle artist for games, but I also recently started producing smaller and larger automotive parts as a hobby. Not every car can be covered with markers or matte spray like AESUB. Since I use scans to accurately reproduce vehicles, I often scan multiple times, at different resolutions depending on what I need.
Scanning a car prepared with markers is relatively simple, but sometimes very time-consuming. I’ve scanned with HX blue laser scanners and structured light (like ProHD) using marker meshes — it’s a slow and patience-demanding process. Vega, thanks to its wide field of view, really speeds it up.
Let me share a case where I had to scan a vehicle without any surface preparation, because the owner didn’t allow markers or spray — a common situation when scanning restored classic or unique cars. In such cases, blue laser scanners aren’t usable, and tracked systems like FreeScan Track Pro are far too expensive for hobbyists.
Here’s my basic know-how:
I do the main body scan without any prep, in the worst-case scenario, using low resolution and feature alignment. That gives about 2.5 mm point spacing, and depending on the car’s size, a scan range of 1250–1500 mm.
The key trick is how I move the scanner: I try to build the scan as if I’m dropping a blanket over the car — starting from the center and working outward. This helps minimize tracking error, which can increase with distance on any scanner.
Tracking on flat surfaces is still difficult, so I rely on catching details — creases, vents, or small curves — that help maintain alignment. I also strategically place microfiber cloths, backpacks, or nearby objects for tracking support. Sounds unprofessional, but a stable, non-flat reference point works wonders, especially on large smooth areas like doors.
Since modern game-ready cars need high detail, I also scan certain parts (like bumpers or dashboards) in high quality mode, usually at 0.5 mm accuracy, which is more than enough. That’s also what I use for interior scans. Vega’s Fast/HD toggle is excellent inside a cockpit — it handles buttons, switches, gauge clusters, etc., really well and delivers super detailed reference geometry.
I could go on for pages, but I have a feeling this already got a bit long 
P.S. I’m very curious about the capabilities of the new RIGIL scanner. Are there any early access programs, special offers, or upgrade discounts for existing Vega users? I’d love to test it in a real-world workflow!

Thanks for such detailed reply! It is our honor that you choose Vega and are curious about Rigil.
“Scan a vehicle without any surface preparation” is a big task that 3D scanning technology needs to overcome with, and of course with good quality, it is good to know that Vega can meet your requirement!
Currently we don’t have early access program on Rigil new product, we will message you later if there is any possibility to test it early.

Another solid scan! Looks great. I have overcome some of my issues of scanning the windows with taping cardboard paper inside the glass. It helps some. I’m definitely going to try your blanket method. Thanks for posting.
I was thinking of a very lightweight material, something like a bedsheet, to cover the windows without significantly distorting the shape.
I was talking about your scanning technique!
No the paper taped to the inside on the glass worked well. If someone doesn’t mind that. I just save it up from my received packages.
Are you thinking of draping a sheet from the outside?
