Hi Neil,

The manual spends a short notice on this issue. I never tried it though. As soon as I've got some spare time I'll check the feature. I did use such 3D points before, to be able to place 3D objects in a 2D video, but not for modeling. Arjo.

I'm guessing how it works of course. Not exactly mo-cap but for one-off object modelling reference it might be useful. I doubt if video is necessary ... a sequence of digital camera snaps should do it ... and if they didnt then just make a vid of the snaps. The YouTube take was posted August 2007. The university would probably be closed for holidays right now. I've posted them a request to keep me in the loop for notices of developments ... at present a beta. I'll post anything that looks useful to the list.
