Sketchfab 3D Scanning Challenge: Point Cloud Garden

Hi and welcome to this month’s 3D scan challenge! This month we wanted to try something slightly different – the theme is flowers and plants BUT we want you to upload point clouds instead of full meshes. The subject of your scan could be a bouquet for a loves one, a weed growing out of the sidewalk and shrub in full bloom or a leafy sapling – anything green, flowery and alive!

TL;DR: scan a plant or flower, upload it to Sketchfab as a point cloud and add the #plantpointschallenge tag to it

Update: the winner is… Fishhook Barrel Cactus by GSXNet

Example scan:
