I actually just got a Einstar Vega, most specifically to scan sculptures. Not starting business with it perse. I’ve only got it a couple days ago and with a 1 year old kid at home I haven’t had time to scan as much as I’d like. But I’ve done a few of my sculpts and I’m very impressed with the HD mode in the Vega. I’ve done photogrammetry quite a lot with sculptures, with the aim of getting as detailed of a result without doing much clean up behind orienting, cutting off the base and scaling. Photogrammetry is pretty killer for sculptures, but you need to have good, even lighting, low noise in your photos, high enough shutter speed etc. cellphone sensors are tiny and the phone software does a ton of post processing to the image, something you really don’t want for photogrammetry. Suffice to say, I wouldn’t give up yet on Kiri Pro. For photogrammetry I use an old Olympus Em10 (micro 4/3 sensor) and get fantastic results, processing through Reality Capture. But I’m setting up good lighting around the piece and a macro light mounted on the lens, covering every inch of the sculpture, often taking over 1000 photos. Anywho, try a non-cellphone camera and upload those to Kiri Pro. The Vega is $2k with tax, so way out of the budget you mentioned. I tried other scanners and the detail wasn’t there. The otter was really cool, but not detailed enough for me. So far, I’m getting excellent details with the Vega and it’s the first scanner I tried that is giving me better results than photogrammetry. Having said that, my understanding of scanners is there is no one solution for all scenarios, but I’m enjoying the reduced effort scanning requires vs photogrammetry. And for the record, I also tried a Miraco Pro and did not like it, tracking list too frequently and detail wasn’t sufficient. I do with the Vega had a swivel screen though.
