MORE 3D Scanning For Free!
A few months ago I posted a video on how to 3D scan objects with just your camera and some free software. The downside was that that software can be a little complicated and requires a powerful computer to get the job done in a reasonable amount of time.

Judges pick the top 10 videos and out of those 10 a winner is chosen at random. The prize is a trip to Japan including the flight, hotel for one week, and $500 spending money. The rules didn't specify that it had to be video and he said Animation was fine so I worked my butt off to make sure I was in that top ...
