Pretty cool stuff, I see the day when my lost excuse for being tardy will not be accepted.

@remus said: How good are the meshes form the points? Pretty damn messy, the one time I used this. Anything out of "line of sight" of the laser emitter was ignored, so you had to rebuild the missing faces using the faces it did sample. I assume that more sophisticated versions of this (or more sophisticated users) would allow you to move the unit around, fixing its position with GPS, and assemble a more complete scan. And it was slow, too. Another student at my grad school scanned someone dancing, and then milled out a (very abstract) flowing relief sculpture...the mesh was composed of multiple periods in the dance, frozen into one giant mesh about eight feet long.

TEN years? Nuts.

Never mind the poor girl with the bloodshot eyes as she needs a rest to get back to normal. Instead check out the dog! He smiles when the mouse is on his nose

Yes in deed a good find, looks like this is the way things are going!

Anssi is a Finnish version of Anselm @unknownuser said: ANSELM Gender: Masculine Usage: German, English (Rare) Pronounced: AN-selm (English) [key] Derived from the Germanic elements ans "god" and helm "helmet, protection". This name was brought to England in the late 11th century by Saint Anselm, who was born in northern Italy. He was archbishop of Canterbury and a Doctor of the Church. My surname Wainio (most often spelt with a V) means "Field" or "Meadow" Anssi

I think the realization of this plugin would need combined forces of all our ruby scripters. it is very difficult to achieve, uniting mesh deformation skills (bevel) and automatic texturing...

welcome mate!!!

If its Freelance and Digital, does the applicant need to be in Jersey????

@plot paris - that was great! I can see that being on a segway saves your tired feet from walking all day - this makes sense... if you're a postman or policeman... just in dangerous situations... feet would be preferred IMHO.

Very nice. Thanks guys.

I'm STARVING!!!

Whats wrong with these: [image: sandbag-wh-200x200.jpg] On a more serious note, those look like a pretty good idea. I cant help but wonder how stormproof theyd be though, they look pretty floodable, although i suppose it depends a lot on the scale of the things.

Ahhhh, 'Little Francis', I'd need a stool (to stand on) to look into your eyes BUT Coen would have no problem even today at your 6' 2.8"

Very cute... I'm sure you'll be a nice couple... Ahhh No Kim ..... I was in the back seat of the Cruiser with Csaba

.....on this matter, I just noticed last night that one of the UK TV channels is doing a program on what happened to Building Number Seven! Should be interesting to hear about the reasons for is collapse

I think a web based viewer application makes sense. but for content creation on a large scale or high poly models only an on board application will work.

Latest Plucky Adventures... The wood half-rounds and balls I ordered from these folks (http://www.craftparts.com/) arrived, as did some 17" heavy-duty cable ties. I put together two hubs and an edge section last night and it looks/feels pretty good. I hope to do some additional work with the pieces this weekend. As I've been working with this stuff I keep thinking that a similar structural system could be implemented using bamboo in place of the PVC, and hemp rope in place of the plastic wire ties. This would give you a completely organic structural system, using materials that would require only simple and low-energy processing and that are locally available (growable) in most of the world. Interesting. [image: UYQP_IMG_4689.jpg] [image: VOlU_IMG_4691.jpg]

Lately I am starting to use http://www.vimeo.com as video uploader. They have a better (almost 1 on 1) conversion of input to output, resulting in sharper video. At Vimeo, the viewer will see a better quality by default...
