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:

I’m totally in on this. I’ve got a test point cloud already and just got done with the same plant only this time it’s in bloom. 🙂
Good choice on subject!
