      dunno., i'm still a skeptic
      from the video, it's not seeming all it's cracked up to be as far as 3D scanner goes..
      you need at least 15 photos etc.. even textured non-shiny objects..then you have to patch the whole thing together which looks like quite a bit of work for that shape in the video.. not to mention the inaccuracies that are bound to occur + missing camera angles (bird's eye)etc..

      it's hobbyist work, not professional, yet it carries a pro price tag..

      i can't try it out for myself but someone please wow me with a 3D scanning experience

        It's a free tool -- take it and be grateful just like you would any other plugin... if you feel that you need/want the more advanced features then you can pay for them. They have the right to charge whatever they think the market will bear -- if they are wrong then the market will speak and they will change their policy.

        Griping about their pricing policy is pretty pointless.

        Best,

            how is it a free tool? there's a training version but does it allow you to save it? and use the model? I don't think it's pointless.... in fact I bet their reading it... and I also bet they had these same arguments.

              Yes and yes... maybe you should use it before you comment.

                  it had a really kool installer though... found all my installations on all my drives and installed to each simultaneously. and if you look at their website these guys love to code... lots of nooks and crannies, very tight.

                    Not sure if this is the issue, but when you install the set of Free training tools, you will at first get a menu of grayed out icons. You have to click on the last one and enter your name to register the toolbar, then restart Sketchup. After that the tools work fine, although they are limited by the number of verticies they will process. For example the Upsample tool (right click menu) won't work on anything complicated, but will work only on small areas with only a few dozen verts. For me, the Select and Cross Section tools alone make the plugin worth checking out. I just wish they would allow you select loops as well as manipulate them. It seems if you can find loops to be manipulated, it would easy enough to also add a feature to select edge loops as well.

                      I get an error when I open that says "No such file to load -- tgi3d/imain" the file is there.

                      there is an extension in the list and it is check marked... but there is no menu options or plugins in the list nor are there any toolbars.

                        Hi Kristoff,

                        Do you have all the TGI-Folders and Files in your plugin folder? And did you activate the TGi3D toolbar?

                          Installer is not working for SU 7. I installed on 7 & 8 and got the same error on 7, but not on 8. Probably a file mix up on their part.

                                          there is a plugin conflict somewhere - remove all and leave only tgi3d - that way it will work and you can try it
