I've just used jim's obj_export_1.1 on a small building and the obj imported perfectly into blender...except of course for the scale and orientation. this is with su7 and blender 2.48. strange that it didn't work for you...i know that if your whole model is a group, the export will fail

I'll second stinkie's recommendation. downloaded 'intro to modeling in modo' and started watching. very thorough...much more so that the stuff from Ablan.

Yes, that's it. Thanks Frederik.

Hi BTM,
thank you very much for your clarification and...sorry for my late reply.
Actually, generally enhancing the contrast of the marker symbol can also enhance application's stability. On the other hand, in this case this is really a minor issue. Stability issues are greatly dependent on the quality of the webcam in use.
Thank you again

ahh, you're talkin like a nurbs solid like solidworks produces, got ya. have you tried moi3d?

what about procedural texture generators (Genetica, TextureMaker, FilterForge, MapZone).

anyone knows how to use any of them?

Sepo, I revised table at top of page. Deleted item from table because all support this feature.

wow, that looks really awesome. I'm hooked now! I like projects like this. I also did one on making a whiteboard screen using a wii remote and that was also fun! 👍
just wondering what kinds of things you can scan with this.

I would love it if sketchup joined with videotrace! because that is so similar to scanning and yet you can have so much more control over the final model

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I was only referring to the Su2Pov3 system.

It was there after I uploaded it. Guess I will have to redo it on Monday.

Did you use the Image-based lighting to get the shading like that?

Yes, both videos have HDR backgrounds, but the Great Wall video uses the SketchUp sun, too.

I have a multitouch laptop coming in 2 weeks. Any chance this has come to fruition?

Though I gotto say, I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the VRayDoubleSided and VRaySkpDoubleSided materials are. They don't seem to offer much from regular material. Except one of them which has the colour filter which makes the backside texture transparent so you see the frontside texture. ...can't say I see the immediate use of it...

Thanks Thomas. This is the kind of thing I like to find out, like whether or not I need to invest time in learning how to use it or not or.

For exploded vue you can use the animated section plan
See this video 😉

For the rest (Mover.rb) use Snaping Screen motion prog capture like Camstudio..

ahhh, sorry about that! I'm from the states - studied industrial design at a place called Art Center College of Design. I was looking at your blog and just realized you're in uni in rajasthan! anyway..sent you a pm.

Here is what it says on the site:

With Indigo, softening the edges seems to be the solution (just until the edge disappears, that is [edge angle + 1] deg)
