1. A method comprising: scanning a physical object with a 3D digitizer and attached light source from a plurality of viewpoints to obtain a 3D model and a plurality of images of the object; adjusting an intensity of at least one of the plurality of images using an intensity function that compensates for effects of the attached light source to create at least one intensity adjusted texture; and mapping textures from the plurality of images to corresponding points in the 3D model to generate a textured 3D model of the object, wherein each point in the 3D model corresponds to a texture from one of the plurality of images and at least one point corresponds to the at least one intensity adjusted texture.
