Hi all,

I've just been given this link and feel the need to share. I've not seen this technology before, but it solves all the data-survey problems for my next shoot. Lets hope they release it fast.

...with an .obj exporter ;)

This is merely an extension of Photosyth and like smrgol I'm waiting for them to mesh it with geometry.

"Need a new race track for that game? Just duck tape a video camera to your cars hood and drive baby drive!" :cool:

"Need a new level for your DOOM 3? Grab that video camera and walk through the local Federal building, School, Hospital, or Park!" :twisted:

It's cool and all .....
