Re: Real Space 3D Drawing

[Chris Sellars]

Hello Neil,   We use Photomodeler from EOS Systems Inc. http://www.photomodeler.com/ Its a software solution, rather than a hardware one. But It works out cheaper and it uses Photometry to create a 3D model from Photos taken of an object from various angles. It is still very time consuming for input, and models are easier to input if you draw a grid on them first. The big advantage of this system is that you can input an object of almost any size (as big as a church or as small as a flea), as long as you can get enough photos from various angles. The other advantage is that the Textures can be captured at the same time and nailed to the model.   Hope this helps,   Chris Sellars Morsel Animation ----- Original Message ----- From: Neil Cooke To: user-list@light.realsoft3d.com Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2006 8:23 PM Subject: Real Space 3D Drawing Hi List,   Does anyone know of a 3D drawing system that can happen in real space.   On a plotter you move the pen from A to B and a virtual 2D line happens, some plotters and mouse type inputs allow pressure to set up a virtual line that lifts up or runs lower than the plotter surface ... what I am interested in is a pen that simply runs in real space, no plotter. It could trace surface lines of a face for example.   Neil Cooke Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
