That said, you still need a camera. We have Canon 600D, but you can get away with even cheaper cam. Even a smartphone cam will do the trick (sort of).

VisualSFM

VisualSFM is a free GUI application for photo scanning.

“This software (CMVS) takes the output of a structure-from-motion (SfM) software as input, then decomposes the input images into a set of image clusters of manageable size.” I couldn’t describe it better than that. Image clusters. Decompose. That’s so nerdy. It turns me on.

MeshLab
http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/

MeshLab is the open source software for editing of unstructured 3D meshes.

Blender
https://www.blender.org/

Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. Great for visualizing the 3D scans, you bet!
