FlexScan3D modified Version (perfect support for Directshow and WebCam)
Posted: 14 Nov 2021, 22:40
hi friends
I have some thing new and very interesting
We know FlexScan3D is one of the best and most professional software in 3d Scanning filed. As it is a high end professional software, it is not designed to work with low and moderately priced equipment (like webcam or common industrial cameras). Actually this is the decision of its company to keep it limited to work only with expensive equipment.
As you may know, in original version of FlexScan3D, its manufacturer start to add some very limited support for directshow, how ever it doesn't have a good support for Directshow and webcams, and only supports some expensive industrial cameras (like PointGray camera).
Actually I tested it with some moderate Basler cameras too (Dart series), and I had same problem. the software can recognize my camera, but I couldn't change its settings.So in fact it was unusable.
But good news is that I've modified FlexScan to support any kind of Directshow cameras and WebCams perfectly
Actually I've added some corrections to it to solve this major problem.
You can see the following video to understand how my new modified version work.

....
in the original version, user can't access to all settings of webcam (like resolution and encoding and ...). This means we can't adjust our camera settings for a 3d scanner.
but in my modified version, as you can see in the above video, all settings are accessible and working perfectly. So we can use any kind of Directshow camera and webcam with this new modified version
You can download modified Files From here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/z69wc8e7 ... 9.zip/file.
The zip file contain four .dll files which must be replaced with original ones in installation folder (get a backup of original files before replacing). It is free for all.
Also the modified files work only with FlexScan3D version 3.3.22.12 (Released Date 21-07-2021). Not with any other versions or release date (version 3.3.22.12 has several releases too. Release Date is some thing different from version number).
For Flex users, you can ask the manufacturer to give you this exact version setup. (I have setup by myself, but due to forum rules and copyright laws, I can't share it here).
Any version mismatching can cause errors as following photos:
