#Imagine Objects
Some of these Gadget's use a light pen like thingy to grab points for
the outline of the object. Then there's the one for $80 or so from
the Animatrix folks, I believe the way it works is first you shoot 2
views of the Model to be digitized with a 35mm camera, devolop the
film. Then place each of the 2 pictures on a Drawing Tablet and Use
the Stylus to mark points on the outline of each of the View then the
Software interpolates the 2 sets of points into a 3D model. It may be
3 views tho.
They usually advertise in the back of AW and VTU, If I had a Drawing
Tablet handy I'd probably have gotten it by now.
