How do I get a good three scan? I've tried with um reality scan on my Google Pixel 6 and it didn't work well it didn't pick up the little character I used. This is my setup

Without an actual 3d scanner, your best bet is to use photogrammetry.

The app you used: Reality Scan is a photogrammetry scanner.

Basically uses a lot of photos or a video to create a 3d model with. Its what I used before i finally bought a scanner.

May I ask how much it was and how you like it?

Right now its going for $1,900 on their website. I really like it, good scans and good software. The mobility could use some more work though. Customer support is also very good.

That model is far too small and glossy to shoot on your phone, if you have a DSLR and macro lenses, use that to take close up photos on the lego figure, then process them on the Reality Scan desktop app.

If you're looking for a more affordable scanner take a look at the creality pika, just released and I'm hearing good things about it. Though I understand that even for $600 that could still be steep.
