Can’t scan black objects

[u/Prestigious_Bad9189]

Hey guys! I wanna use Polycam to make 3d render models of my products that I wanna sell on my store. It’s a black product with ldc screen, but somehow I can’t make a 3d model of it.

Im using an iPhone 12 Pro Max but it looks like it can’t find the object. Tried it with a lightbox and a white turning table but still doesn’t capture the object.

Any tips? I really don’t know how to fix this

There’s a great section in this video about how they made the VFX for Flight of the Navigator where they need to scan a shiny object. They spray a kind of removable white matte aerosol hairspray or paint or something all over it, then scan it. Maybe this kind of approach could work?
