I love all of it :) - this is almost like a tutorial

Keep us posted with any stuff related to this, cause I for one am pretty enthusiastic about all this tech, and 3d printing ..

so - which software gave best results, and which one would you recommend learning - Im also getting into zbrush a bit ...

I have found that around 10-15 degrees offset from each picture is the best, depending on the geometric complexity of the object.

Here some example shots from the set, I took a total of 26 shots.

Any prime lens will work, actually any lens will work. The tree stump was taken with a Canon D80 with the kit lens, don't remember the ISO or other data, I'll have to look at the exif data in my project files.

I have also used my cell phone camera to take pictures, HTC Nexus One. I'll dig up some ...

Straight out of meshlab, regular diffuse materials in octane with a sun sequence from Octane, nothing fancy.

check out insight3d, free open source very similar to how photoscan works, got some bugs but does work.

I've done it with PhotoFly, now 123D Catch and it is pretty easy.

This makes me feel much more confident about my decision to license Octane and the Max plugin. Previously, not so much.

Keep up the good work.

Came here from his blog which I have been following for a while now, this is good news for Octane in my opinion.

Brigade II is amazing, I hope that it will continue to be developed.

It looks like an implementation of SVO (Sparse Voxel Octrees), nothing new. I'll be interested when they show animation, rather than static instanced geometry.

Ok, so the CUDA/SSE2 win32 build is out...



Talk about a significant speed improvement, but a little more unstable than the non cuda build.

I'm not generally a blender user, but the commentary has piqued my interest so I downloaded the Win32 build of blender from graphicall to do a quick test.

I would have to say it is impressive, needs some tweaking, but I couldn't kill it with my limited blender knowledge.

That being said, I really ...
