That settles it, I'm buying this in college.

But you know what this is going to lead to...

I've seen a number of these sorts of things with some very interesting price ranges. This is acceptable, but I'd rather spend the many hours it takes to custom-build my own (with cameras, lasers, a turnable, and a whole lot of image processing...)

David Laserscanner does the same thing and its free, you just need to do the motions with a flatline laser by hand, and turn the object 15 degrees every so often. My laser broke and I need to buy another one, otherwise I would've shown a quick example.

I saw this a while ago at my sister's college. People were making sculptures and scanning them to add more detail in zbrush. But I heard there was a new method when you put an object into some sort of gell and the computer can instantly make a realtime 3d image of what ever the object Displaces, Calculates mass, density, etc.

My high school has one of these. The computer animation teachers is always fucking around with it.

Great, so only thing left is for me to learn how the hell do sculpt great pieces.
