Be aware that this app does not handle shiny or
transparent object well.
Nothing that a can of flat grey spray paint can't fix. :)
This app is very good, but I have been looking for a decent
image based modeling
program for quite some time. They all seem to be more aimed
at Architectural modeling.
This is because it uses a series of silhouettes, of the
object, to create the mesh.
calibrating your camera. I find it is good to make general
shapes as reference, but any detailed
modeling is too labor intensive.
I still find that 3 or 4 locked down camera views with
rotoscoped images, where
the Softimage camera matches the photo camera is the best
method for product modeling.
Maybe it is because I am so used to the modeling tools in
Softimage.
I use a printed grid scale, on the floor, to help with the
scale references.
I am always looking for new methods to help speed up the
process, though.

At SIGGRAPH 2011 there was a
panel where one of the larger houses(Weta, Sony?)
showed some very nice image based modeling
solutions off. They had an array of cameras that
took around 300 stills of an object and then they
were able to generate very dense meshes with
albedo maps. Does anyone remember the name of that
or is it even a commercial product? I looked back
over my notes and couldn't find a name anywhere.
Thanks,
