Matadem,

I used to do a fair amount of converting scans into usable files. I was given the scan and photos of the object plus the plans of they had them. Mostly different types of containers (juice containers, milk jugs, condiment containers, that kind of thing) I would first bring the scans into Blender and shrink wrap them to build them as a simplified quad meshes and use subdivision surfacing to monitor it. I wouldn't do anything that needed precision like threads or the caps (those were usually garbage from the scan anyways). I would then import those OBJ models into Moi using the SubD and do the fine precise work there. It was relatively fast and worked well. Best of both worlds.
