Is there a way to "scan" a 3d model assembly? (CLOSED)

1. My source is a fully assembled 3d model (.fbx), with 100,000+ internal parts, but a fairly simple exterior. 

2. My goal is to create a simple 3d mesh with a realistic texture. 

3. I don't want any of the internal parts. Just the exterior.

I figured there would be a tool out there that could "scan" the model and export just the exterior topography/surface as a mesh, along with baked-in texture(s).

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find an easy solution. I am self-taught, and I feel like I am missing something really basic here. I'll use whatever software can do this easily. Please help! 

Thanks,

- Tye
