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.
