Okay; all the parts for the scanner came yesterday. Had to jump through some hoops to get the necessary software but I was able to create a decent scan of myself this morning in absolutely terrible lighting, and in general terrible conditions for this technology. Even still, it worked well enough and I was able to import directly into Rhino as well!
Here is a rendered view:
and then rendered still in Rhino hahaha; obviously I should have aligned the mesh better.
I think this is definitely good enough to justify scanning the bike, likely several times and then its sub components, etc. It'll be a good training exercise and super useful in the future. I guess the real question will be how useful digital form finding will be or whether it should only be used as guide for more mechanical layout from a concept sketch.
