BTW Pilou,
What method do you use to bring the models into SU (if you do at all) and with what settings?
-
Hi ALL
First class software. To import the result into Sketchup, we may use OBJ-Import.

Hi Guys,
I have a question. I should explain beforehand that I would like to try this software out when I manage to get it running under Bootcamp on my Mac but to my question.
Does anyone think it would be possible to take some pictures of an abject from the front and create a PhotoSculpt and then do likewise from the rear and then put the two PhotoSculpts together in SketchUp to form a model?
I would have something like the attached in mind.
Any thoughts?
Mike

Just take 2 photos from the front face of your object, and 2 photos from the backface
And past the result -
Thanks Pilou,
I'll get the camera out and do that and PM them to you.

Little test with Chaoscope
A crazzy prog who has not 3D file export only 2D images but can rotate in "3D view" the current view of parameters
So you can make 2 images with any rotations like a camera
Then use Photosculpt

@Mike Lucey
Of course you will not have top and bottom (here 20° between photos)

And past the resultYes that will work, I expect some manual rework as the sides will look like stretched UV but nothing impossible.
I have a similar example here, one side only.

Had fun playing with the Demo version on screen. Disappointed that there are no export capabilities in the Demo version. I'd never buy this program without knowing how it will integrate into my workflow or what I can do with the mesh beyond the PS interface. I'd say you'd do better with a 30 day fully functional trial period.

Do you really think so? That's an interesting point of view
. Who shares the same opinion? Is this 30 day trial without save option too strict? 
You'll understand that i'm trying to protect my software (... against illegal use like the people that change their computer's clock every months or so. I've done that myself, I know what I'm talking about (one month and only once) 
). If PhotoSculpt is loosing sales because of this overprotection, then this is not a good thing to do right at release 
! Please advise? -
i totally agree with earthmover. a software is useless unless it works with your other software, and if you can't test it you will soon forget about it.
as far as clock changing if someone will go through this they aren't the software buying kind anyway. and its like the big boys say if people are stealimg software we'ed rather they steal ours than the competitions. (the more people that use it, the more people will buy it...) -
Hi hipe-O,
I can somewhat understand Adam's concerns. There are often problems and needed workarounds to correctly export/import certain models fro one application to the other. Now if someone works professionally (i.e. for a living, not neccessarily a "power user") in certain apps, he would like to see how he can integrate a new product into his current, existing workflow.
I also understand your concerns about piracy and changing the computer clock to cheat. But how about a solution where you can allow a certain number of saving/exporting the produced model? I have seen such solutions with other software, too, so it should be doable. Say you allow 10 different models to be saved (and after saving them, you allow tweaking, resaving and different ways of exporting) just to make sure that trial users get the full potentials of the software.
If they are satisfied, they would then buy it I am sure - and if somebody is very desperate, they will probably crack the software anyway so you can never totally exclude piracy but this way you may be losing potential legit customers who would otherwise never go for pirated software.
PhotoSculpt - for those who would really exploit its cool features and potentials - is a great tool and priced pretty well so letting trial but potentially legit users to try it out fully would probably lead to more sales even though you may open a window for piracy a little bit more.
-
Thanks for posting guys that's really cool. I also think that photosculpt makes beautiful normal maps. But that quality cannot be seen unless rendered in ones's software.
Concerning the 10 saves, well thank you for proposing, but I don't like it. I want simple. And simple may just be recompile the demo with full save options turned on as you proposed. It will be a big present for pirats
they will thank me!
I need to think about it. thanks for your time! -
another thought. i think someone may be more likely to pirate software (download pirated software) that's doesn't have a full featured demo. sometimes its the only way to fully try it out without buying it first
. also someone may have a pirated copy of a software they only use once or twice, but if the need to use it increases they are likely to get a legit license at that point because that's the software they're comfortable with. (provided its not ridiculously priced)
in short it doesn't seem to me that you will lose legitimate customers to pirates.
-
I can see the dilemma, to open it up or not. I wonder if it would make any sense using the Google SketchUp model? How about a free version with limited resolution and a pro version with unlimited resolution.

I made my mind and followed your advice.
My 30 day trial is now FULL FEATURED since yesterday evening.
Just download it (now here on first page http://www.photosculpt.net) and install it again and your trial will continue with save options now)

Hey, that's an idea!
what should the limited resolution be in your mind (256x256) ?
I actually first thought of just doing a ".sculpt" file viewer at first. (Of course unlimited in texture size)
