There's a number of options and I was a bit overwhelmed, is there a comprehensive write up, copypasta, or something of the like?

Just an option to throw on the table: https://openscan.eu/

What are you overwhelmed with? Which option to go with? What to expect as far as post processing? Accuracy? Something else?

What's up with the abuse of the word open lately. I had a look at that project to see how they were doing the conversion, but I couldn't find it. But I found this:

Short answer, yes! OpenScanCloud (OSC) is and will stay closed source...

Your data will be transferred through Dropbox and stored/processed on my local servers. I will use those image sets and resulting 3d models for further research, but none of your data will be published without your explicit consent!

I feel like I'd rather use Autodesk at that point. At least I know what I'm dealing with right out of the gate.

Don’t worry, it’s as open as OpenAI!
