Create 3d models from video frames and 2d traces

They haven't released a source yet, seems like it shouldn't be to terribly difficult to replicate this procedure in Blitz3D.

Any Takers. ?

I think blitz3d is too slow to do this. Reading pixels from the screen is painfully slow in blitz. Besides, this looks pretty advanced :o) I wouldn't say it wouldn't be difficult. For me anyway :S

Look at the paper, it doesn't seem that simple.

Nice tool. I had one project some time ago, "imagemodeller". It took two images, frontview and sideview. BUt it was very primitive compared to "videotrace".
This may still float around at http://krokant.tripod.com/cyberskunkpictures/id5.html

One further thing was a 3D scanner. It was capable of creating a mesh automaticly, but required a line laser (or any other line-shaped light projection), and a rotating platform.

I mind using that jfk :o) I was amazed at it when i first got blitz :o) Novel idea and pretty simple to do!
