The other thing is you'll need markers. At least in my experience. I think if you don't need precision photogrammetry and AI will get you the results way faster

(To be clear I love my Vega. Game changer. Just a bit heavy handed if you're not making car body parts)

100%. Lots of things work as markers, too! I ended up substituting markers for taped-on construction paper when scanning stainless steel surfaces with curves, the tape serving as feature for the scanner to pickup...worked well enough :)
