Today, Isabelle returned the favor and 3D scanned me! Quite a relaxing experience. She tought me a few tricks as well! Scanning is like painting, she said…

“Screw it let’s do it!” has been the philosophy that has driven Sir Richard Branson to establish, in forty years, hundreds of diverse and successful companies, bringing the same business acumen to his countless charitable endeavours.

Starting many of his Virgin companies in the face of entrenched competition. In markets where customers had traditionally received poor service and poor value for money, markets that experts advised “don’t touch”, Sir Richard identified golden opportunities.

In these economically-challenging times Sir Richard offers us an alternative business model: the dynamic, hardworking, successful entrepreneur who seizes opportunities and lives life to the full.

Realtime 3D Scanning

Realtime 3D scanning with Microsoft’s Kinect is made possible by Reconstruct Me. Super fast results.

The kinect scanners comes in handy for scanning people and environment scenes. For higher definition and resolution however, solutions like Agisoft Photoscan and laserscanners are required. The kinect Approach uses a laser that projects beams for surface calculation. A 3D mesh is gradually constructed from different frames captured by the 3D camera. Reconstruct me works with Kinect cameras and Asus Xtion Pro

Here is a test scan of an office 3D scan. Click the image for an interactive preview (14 MB):

Hopefully Texture building alongside mesh generation will be supported in futured editions…

Terragen 2.4: Little planet tutorial

Mark Florquin — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:14:57 +0000

Terragen 2 is a procedural landscape generator. With the “Lean to terrain normal” function added in version 2.4, little planets can be created with ease.

The Lean to terrain normal function can be found at the “Objects tab” under “object rotation:

To build a little planet scene, first reduce the planet’s radius to around 10.000 units:

Finally, add a population and enable the “lean to terrain normal”. Set lean effect to “1″, don’t lean if slope below to “0″ and reduce lean if slope below to “0″ and render away:

I hope you enjoyed this little planet tutorial. See you next time!
