Am I the only one who thinks this looks awesome?

Hey, that's a pretty easy way to create a 3D model! Reminds me of Rotoscoping.

It'd be great if this is made commercially available at a price cheaper than all the hi-end 3D apps out there. But what about those fantasy/sci-fi creatures and characters/landscapes -- using this app, you'll probably have to work from a clay/plastic model to get a 3D version, no?

EDIT: This reminded me of a software I had seen several years back. It could build models -- not from video, but from just a couple of photos. I see that it is still available, although from a different vendor. It is called Canoma, for those of you who are interested. And while you are there, check out the QuickTime gallery -- pretty impressive, no?

I give the some expmle for the video trace like VideoTrace is a system for interactively generating realistic 3D models of objects from video—models that might be inserted into a video game, a simulation environment, or another video sequence.

It's quite interesting how they can create these shapes using this software. They can sure make a game out of it. They can make a model, a prototype, 3D shape, etc.

Nice video

Thanks for the link

amazing video has been shared by you.
i have visited on youtube.com and found its very interested

I was eye opening because of your video.thanks iamandy .nice

Expmle can be shaped many of his video and video trace that the machine is acceptable in terms of the input form will go the way of things the film 3D models were introduced by a video game, a space simulation or even another movie.
