  1. Hippolyte, 3d Coat is already extremely good/fast at using textures from photosculpt. If you wouldn't mind some well-intentioned feedback, it's that certain UI elements make Photosculpt maddening to use if you're trying to process a large batch of photos you've taken. Photosculpt is an excellent resource, and one we're planning on incorporating into our pipeline, but some minor tweaks could dramatically improve usability. 1. Having to click each tab (depth, spec, diffuse) one at a time, and export each texture individually (including naming it) is annoying, particularly since it takes a bit of processing time even on my 4Ghz i7 to switch to each texture. Having an "export" button where you can flag which textures you want exported, give a root name, a target directory, and a customizable suffix per pass as a save-able option would be wonderful. Edit: Just realized you already had this, I just hadn't noticed it before... 2. Each time you finish a texture, you need to manually clear the model, then manually clear each texture. Having a "clear" button would be really nice to do this in one step. 3. Caching results when you've looked at a tab would help. The wait each time you click a tab, even if you've already been to that tab is frustrating. 4. Allow the tiling radius to be tune-able. Sometimes I find a texture I really like, but because the tiling range is preset, with large textures you get a really abrupt transition from one tile to the next. I'd like to be able to tune the rate at which the wrap blends from one tile to the next. 5. Please put material samples on your website into zip files or somesuch, having to download each texture one at a time is tedious. We're still learning how to use your demo, and our results have certainly been hit-or-miss. We believe a lot of this is that the range of successful shots is a reasonable but relatively narrow band (i.e. angle of shot, fov of shot, distance you take the shot, ambient lighting, etc). This would be a lot less problematic if we could take a lot more images, and process them more quickly as we could take a more shotgun approach, and then as our skills improve, refine our shot selection at the time we take the photos better. Congratulations on your well deserved success so far.
