Interesting technology used here, 98% automated tech that builds 3D cities and regions from images only with accuracy to 6 inches

Found this tonight. I don't have an iPhone but still looks pretty cool.
iPhone 4 3D ScannerUsing projected light from four different directions, an app called Trimensional, from Georgia Tech researcher Grant Schindler, will assemble a 3D scan using an iPhone 4′s built-in camera. Once you've captured a desirable visage you can optionally memorialize said countenance by outputting a watertight file and sending it to your favorite 3D printer. [viaRRW]

Mine just arrived too. Yay

No email for me yet either

Congrats Tinker, must be super happy event getting to completion.

What is the system used for these 'Groups'? What is contributor, how is it awarded?

Hi, myself and Jake_H are residents of Brisbane, Queensland. 75% of the State has been declared a disaster zone. The state covers an area larger than France & Germany combined.
I'm stranded near an area badly hit but no damage to home or family.
I can only hope Jake is fine. Communication is obviously difficult.
A tropical cyclone is developing far away in the East, so far posing no immediate threat.
If you can spare any amount of money please consider donating. The official site is Donate to the Queensland floods
Sadly we have just heard a flood in Brazil has claimed 170lives. Brazil floods
Nature is a powerful force that has a amazingly ability to remind us we are 'only' human.
Take care,
Robbie

This was inspired by Javis Jones 'Kitbashing' tutorial vids, a great way to learn the fun craft of kit bashing
The first image shows the rig rendered in Vue. I used a degraded version of the mesh as 3dc failed to complete my first attempted at merge for painting, so I cranked out a lower quality version instead. You can see a nicer resolution object in the last screenshots. I liked the grungy look that the 'quick & dirty' merge-> vertex produced so decided to take advantage of it.

Academy & Emmy award winning non-linear editor Lightworks to be released as open source November 29
Initially, Lightworks will run on Windows XP or newer (both 32 and 64-bit versions). The community hopes to have a Linux port ready to go by late 2011

Nice sculpt!!! I also like these clear forms here.
I even learned how to have a reference photo in 3dc. lol not a joke.
I also noticed that you use ~10M voxel model and fps at 18. Well, same fps on the 32 bit version on my mac pro <or=10M voxel. And I really can't work like this. Practically speaking.
Reference photo - Me too. *blushes*
Good work on Gollum, look forward to see him with his skin on

Hey. What's the filesize for d/l of "KitBashing the SciFi Ship - Set URL: http://javisjones.co...ning/video0006/" ?
-
Nice idea Phil. When you say you dug a trench for the zipper did you just eyeball it?
-
Awesome. Love the character design. Gloriously freakish
-
No ideas anyone?

Hey all, I want to expand my library of ready-made objects and was hoping someone may know a reputable source of low-mid quality/poly objects. I only require fairly average stuff as it's pretty much for 3d 'clipart' purposes destined for print assets.
I would normally download free stuff from Sharecg and other sites, but it hadn't occurred to me until now that there are probably a few DVD compilations out there. Looking for Wavefront .obj format.
Thanks in advance,
Robbie

Thanks for that. I didn't want to use Reader as it's had some security issues.

Hi, using Sumatra PDF & can hardly view any of the manual text as it's very dark on dark. Is this the same in Adobe Reader?

I'm sick and tired of this update thread getting all this arguing and completely non-on-topic noise. Does anyone care that the update thread should be, well - about updates? C'mon mods do your job, I'm visiting less and less now, surely this can't annoy just me?
Sorry this is a little harsh please forgive the heated nature, but the basic point still stands.

If you have bugs to report, please post them in their individual support forums where Andrew can see them and fix them more easily.
Not having a go at you Phil, but I don't visit much these days as this particular thread seems at times to be a free-for-all-comments at times and I just don't have the energy to sift through for update juice. Reading your response about the bug report, shouldn't this particular thread be update-related only?
Ok I feel better now... carry on - nothing to see here

I already posted the same problem using PPP.

Please Andrew, you have to share your samples here so to test them in our machines and builds.
This never worked for me and I don't intend to post all my models here. Everything I modeled has the same problem and I don't expect you or anybody else to tell me that I'm sculpting the wrong way!!!
The wrong answer is to always put the blame on us. Its Apples favorite style actually.
As Andrew said they are requested to identify the issue and allow a fix. I've not once seen them requested in a manner that suggests "Prove it"
There is no blame. Blame is not welcome.

Hail Coaters, greetings from tropical Queensland, Australia.
I'm Robbie, a 38 yr old living in a house my gal and I just built near Brisbane City. My day job is health insurance and my hobby is 3D graphics.
When I was close to 18 I had a motorbike accident which paralysed my arm and resulted in chronic and phantom pain that affects me most of the time. I use my love of 3d and art for 'art therapy' as when I'm busy with a sculpt I might be lucky and forget the pain that is an unwelcome companion. (The arm was amputated some 18 years later)
I like to run a few websites based on Wordpress and dabble in a bit of print-on-demand digital direct-to-garment printing also. I experimented early on with 3dCoat to create rapid-prototype real 3d sculptures via Shapeways.com.
My websites are: (No intent to spam here, please contact me if object)
OnearmedGraphics.com - this site is mostly a portfolio and link to products I've made at Zazzle
AllergyWarningLabels.com - offers some solutions for parents of food-allergy sufferers.
Painblaster.info - Chronicles my 20yr journey of life with chronic pain and phantom pain [HOST CURRENTLY DOWN. GRRR]
DummiesGuidetoAdvertising.com - A simple site intended to offer a starting platform for self-advertisers. Still very new. [HOST CURRENTLY DOWN. GRRR]
I also have a small PG Pinups with digital renders offered as DTG products but of respect for Andrew I won't link here.
Many years ago I used an Amiga 1200 & Genlock to create real-estate videos & logos, I got to use a Silicon Graphics Indigo machine to cleanup night-footage of New Zealand Parrots attacking sheep at night by pecking at their kidneys! as well as creating a local-TV advert mimicing Terry Gilliams famous Monty Python animations. I applied for work at Weta Digital when it was founded and received a very nice rejection letter from the founders who told me to keep up the good work
I still remember 3DCoat when it had just switched from the 3DBrush tag.
I also want to take the opportunity to again pay respect to my online friend Brian who recently passed away. Brian was the 2nd purchaser of a 3dBrush licence and was over 70 at the time! If we can all be as cool as Brian in our old age the world would be a better place.
Regards,
Robbie

Very nice update. Some great utility tools, bridge/handle looks useful. Some good stuff for edge loops too.
Sweet.
