How do I convert a 2d image into a 3d image that i can paint digitally?

3d scanner open image

Kevin Solt

I paint miniature models for a board game called Warhammer 40k, and I want to know if there is a program (or programs) that can allow me to upload a picture of the model, and paint it (even in a different program) so that I can try out new paint schemes without having to actually buy the paints first and put them on the model. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer
Well, this is a bit of a complicated task. Unless you have the money to be spending on a three-dimensional scanner, you're pretty much sunk.

If you simply want to test out colors, your best bet may be to take photos of your unpainted model (or have it painted white, if you want better results later), convert the photo to grayscale and open it in Photoshop.

Create a new layer, set it to multiply, and use the brush tool to color on top of the black and white photo of the model. This should give you a good enough indication of what the end result will look like.

How to get out of a commission on deviantart?

Lyra

I accidentally got into a commission with someone on deviant art.
Now I'll be truthful with you: i am not a artist. I don't even have a scanner. The only reason I'm on that website is to find covers.
You may ask: why not tell the guy it was a mistake, and I hadn't meant to take the commission?
Well... he's suicidal.
Plus, the comish. involves bondage and BDSM, something I'm not exactly comfortable with.
Any help?

Answer
It is a matter of business law that when an offer is made, and someone has accepted the offer, the offerer is required to perform the offer.

In spite his being suicidal you must tell him it is a mistake and you lack the skills to perform the commission. If you have been paid anything you must return it asap.

Both you will be better off if you do this now rather than have him find out later you are unable to do it.

If you have an interest in making your own imagery for your covers there is free open source software for this. Photo-realistic 3D avatars can be made with software from:
http://www.makehuman.org/
The avatars can be put in 3D scenery and clothing made with:
http://www.blender.org/
This CAD software can also make objects in a more precise way which can be imported into Blender:
http://www.freecadweb.org/

Blender will have a steep learning curve, but it is well rewarding to learn it.

Why can’t biometric identification be used to make purchases online?

3d scanner buy online image

Emma

Biometric identification is basically face recognition, eye scanner or fingerprints which could be used instead of passwords and user names etc
I don't know if the answer is that you can't buy the technology yet to actually do that from home or because your fingerprint etc hasn't been linked up to your bank details or whether it's something blatantly obvious that i have missed.
Thank you for your help

Answer
I have recently gone across this great time and attendance device called SmartXS which scans on multiple levels and is really fast. They provide software support through which it can be customized and used for various applications. Even several banks have been using fingerprint scanners for the identification instead of writing PIN codes in their ATM machines. Face recognition will definitely take it to another level as this device scans dual retina and 3d face in less than a second. The company is Solotech Corp and its design is good too. Hope it helps.

how do i make a legitimate manga or comic?

Captain Fu

i understand there is software or something, but overall, i have no idea how to make manga. i am buying an how to draw manga and how to draw comic book soon, but im just curious,scan my images online, or use some high end 3d model software? please also list the cost of such software and or scanner if there is such things

Answer
Look up some guides on how to create a webcomic. They have assorted tips ranging from drawing to technologies and presentation.

The most basic challenges are to develop drawing skills and have many ideas for the comic. If you're a great artist but only one short story then you might have nowhere to take your characters. If you have many stories but can't present them then you have to seek a market for low-quality work.

For example, "Girl Genius" has good visual presentation and many stories within its great story arc. On the other hand, "Hidamari Sketch" is visually simple but covers many simple everyday stories, much as "Peanuts" did.

Could you see this machine within the next 75 years?

3d scanner next image

Qelery

A "Home Diagnosis Machine" that looks like a mini MRI machine in your home that you will use daily. First the machine takes a drop of your blood and saliva as a sample. Then you lay on the machine as it brings into the tube, just like an MRI machine. It scans you body for about 5 minutes, taking 3D images of your body and examining the blood. It would be able to tell you everything from your blood pressure, to cancerous tumors, to what vitamins you lack. Your results will be dispalyed on a touch screen. Everything that needs your attention will be shown to you. It will diagnose you and display what medication, vitamins, or medical attention you need. You select the medication you need to buy and the machine will send it to your local pharmacy.

Answer
Sure, why not? Except that it will probably not look like a MRI machine at all and won't need 75 years to come to market. Like almost any product, this hypothetical device would have to be user friendly as well as have user appeal. That means no big, bulky machines in the house/apartment. I would envision it as more of a solid state scanner that could be placed on the wall, ceiling, shower, door frame or even in your bed frame (basically anything you walk past). Depending on how many points of origin the scanner(s) has (or perhaps it uses some kind of depth sensitive radiation) it can then scan you in three dimensions while you are stationary. There are already consumer available 3D scanners that place objects on turntables and produce a 3D image. So there's the technological component.
I can also see such a device coming to homes due to society's increasing paranoia and obsession with personal health and hygiene (I think this borders on mass psychosis). Basically anything that promises to be of some benefit to personal health will be easily accepted by consumers even if there are other potential drawbacks.
Factors against the invention of such a device would likely have to be economic or political in nature since social acceptance and technology are already in place. Also, a newer and better method might also be discovered in that time.

What would be a good laptop?

Justin H

I am getting ready to purchase a new laptop. I want one with a decent size screen and a fingerprint scanner. It will be used for everyday computing and school work.

Answer
If you're a little into gaming like myself, you're @ the store and looking at the display laptops, the 1st thing you should look for on computer surface itself is a logo sticker for NVidia or ATI Mobility Radeon just below the keyboard. This shows that the laptop has a DEDICATED GRAPHICS CARD. Diablo III, the game I would love most to play is said to run on 3D graphics & is rumored to need at least 1GB of graphics memory (a lower graphics memory = cheaper laptop price), so always check the system requirement specs of the game's packaging (ex. SIMS 3; see if your laptop meets all these requirements).
Next important aspect is the RAM (memory). If you're in designing & you need to ran applications like AutoCAD 2007 or softwares used for editing photos and videos, you have to make sure that the laptop has at least 2GB DDR2 memory modules in it (the more, the better; DDR3 the fastest and newest type of memory modules that came out last October).
But what makes a computer really run fast? It is it's processor! So if you really want your processor to have computing prowess & for you to be able to run different applications simultaneously, make sure it's as efficient as an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (Centrino 2 is a Core 2 Duo that features power saving capabilities; Quad Core is for gaming fanatics). A Core 2 Duo, is like having 2 motors running your machine each independent of the other which means for a Quad Core, it's like 4 motors are running the machine (that means it will run faster & more efficient even if its frequency is lower to that of a Core 2 Duo). Intel: Core 2 Duo, Centrino 2, Quad Core & Core i-7 (Core i-5 for desktops only as of now) are all very much faster and better than an Intel: Atom, Celeron & Pentium (and their more affordable AMD counterparts). Just make sure that you have at least 2GHz of speed on your processor. For my computer, I chose an Intel® Core⢠i7-720QM Processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB; newest type just came out this Nov) w/c is just the right stuff for the applications I use & games I play.
The average laptop LCD screen size is 15.4". If you want something smaller than that with these 3 features I just shed some light on, expect the price to go higher (ex. for 13.3" & 14.1" LCD screens).
The HDD (Hard Disc Drive) should have at least 320GB {Although I would have loved my computer more if it came with two HDD bays... 1st one for a 128GB SSD (Solid State Drive) and a back-up 500GB (72000rpm) 2nd HDD}.
If you've thought of a small, portable and affordable laptop, the new Sony CW13FX/B Jet Black glossy notebook went on sale @ Fry's about 3 weeks ago (for only $699.99). I checked out the price they had in other stores, and Fry's was cheaper by about $200 {go to Fry's Electronics (www.Fry's.com) then type in this # 6029078 (or 6029138 for white & 6029108 for pink) in the search box under Notebooks/Tablets before you click on GO}. Now, after the sale, the price went up by $100, so we are waiting for it to go on sale again after Thanksgiving. Let's say you are on 9th grade.. when buying a computer, you have to consider if you will still be able to use the one you bought for college? For this particular Sony model, I would assure you, you can still use it for college as long as you take good care of it & not break it (for the technology installed on this computer will not be outdated & still be good in 10 years to come, but this is just an example). There are a lot of good brand of computers out there Toshiba, Dell, HP and ACER (w/c owns Asus & Gateway; has affordable computers with the newest technology installed), you just need to look for the ones on sale (try display computers on Clearance Sale inside stores like Micro Center, Best Buy and Office Depot). Try http://www.newegg.com/ look for HP Pavilion dv6-1362nr.
Microsoft Office is an office productivity software (so you would need to buy the retail version after the 60-day Free Trial Version that comes with all brand new computers expires, to be able to use the Word, Excel and Power Point applications). Retail version is about $159, but you can get a discounted price of $99 with a configured Dell laptop (www.dell.com).
MacBooks, that is on a totally different aspect for Apple has their own OS (Operating System) unlike the common Windows OS (XP, Vista and the newest Windows 7) that most computers come with.
Some places to start looking for the best prices, my advice, go to Fry's, CostCo, MicroCenter and BestBuy's web sites for updates & comparison. There are a lot of options and different combinations you can try in customizing your own laptop, just stick to the bare essentials first (www.HP.com). The 15.6" HP laptop I customized and had configured with the Intel® Core⢠i-7 came to a total amount of $1,455.80 ($136 tax + other sur-charges already included). I chose to pay more to have the newest technology installed, so that I don't have to worry about it getting outdated within the next 15 yrs.

What is the likeliness of getting a gau-19?

3d scanner reverse engineering image

John

Like how much $$$ would one need to order the d*mn thing?
How hard it is to aquire one in the first place?
And what kind of federal license would you need to have to own it?
Lastly, what process would need to be carried out to aquire this license?

I'm guessing a kind of military license, $5,000, and a due process to order, ship, and receive as well as shipping payment. General Dynamics doesn't just hand out Gau-19s to just anyone, although that would be pretty convenient. And i'm guessing extensive training (military) and testing to aquire this particular license. I'm also guessing that from its little popularity and being widely unkown that it may be easier than i think, still difficult, but easier to aquire than that of an m134.

below, I get a little off here, so read if you please but you don't have to cause it's not part of my question, just some facts and links, i'd rather have my questions answered.

My reasons for wanting to aquire this weapon is for a last defense for when the tyranny of our government reaches to the point of an absolute dictatorship and we merge into the rest of the worlds
revolution in the act to rebuild nations, that this will help defend myself and my family, an ar-15 won't cut it. Also, because of its 3 barrels and ability to change the R.O.F. of the weapon, can help preserve ammo than its 6 barreled counterpart (m134), and speaking of ammo, it has a larger round than its counterpart making the gau-19 (50-BMG) better than the m134 (7.62 x 51). And although the .50 is more expensive than the other, because of the lower fire rate of the gau-19, in the long run, i save, cause its the m134's 5,000 rpm Vs. the gau-19's 1,000 rpm rate (or selectable 1,250 rpm, 1,300 rpm, and 2,000 rpm). So as you can see here, my reasons are very good reasons. My final reason is because, admit it, it's an awesome weapon, the machine in my favorite game series Halo for the XBox is modeled after the gau-19.

gau-19 is the 4th one down

Answer
It might be possible to purchase one from a foreign military entity. You can buy MIG-29 fighter jets from former soviet republic air forces. Some are for sale for around 5 million dollars. You might not be able to get a GAU-19 since they do not just sell them to anyone. If you are really that determined to get one you could use 3d scanners to help reverse engineer the GAU-19 in 50 caliber and produce one for yourself. If in the end with all of the legal paperwork ,and tax stamps you can have a fully automatic GAU-19. If you cannot get your hands on a GAU-19 you could make something similar that could do the same job ,but reverse engineering an GAU-19 is probably your best bet since you probably will not be able to get one imported or purchase one from general dynamics. Remember you will have to get the proper manufacturing licenses from the ATF.

Can you recommend a guide and software for making 3D objects?

3d systems 3d scanner image

Tomas

My idea is to take photos of bones (scapula, femur...) from different angles, run them through a software which will somehow combine them and make a 3D object in space, that i can rotate and add annotation (tags?, description for different parts of bone)

I am not a programmer and i need something easy.

Do you have any ideas? :)

Answer
photos are 2d. you can get depth, but not 3d. you need a 3d scanner like a next engine 3d scanner they run $3000. the web site is pretty cool, it will show you how to scan and print. the printer in the web site is is a year old and now they have much better printers with more options on materials available.
for software you will need a program like Solidworks. it is #1 right now for 3d. it is what Pixiar animation use and many large companies. there are other programs, but after my research for myself most will not talk to the scanner. down side is cost and you need a pretty big system to run it.
then if you want you can send it to a 3d printer for a few dollars you will get a actual 3d sculpture. there are several 3d printers, but after looking at many the 'shapesways gallery' they can print in plastics, metal, ceramics.
this stuff is super cool. this should lead you in the right direction. these printers have only been available for public about a year, but they have been around since the 80s.

What is a good camera for a beginning photographer?

mr.wanksal

I am a college student and am going to be moving to Australia for a while, and I am looking for a camera before I go. I have taken a few short photography lessons, so I know basically what I am doing. I am looking to spend between $100-$250

Answer
I started photography in 1964, have done my share of weddings and portraits, graduations, etc., including court evidence for landlord/tenant courts. Professional? I've lived off of photography, am semi-retired today.

When you buy a camera, consider that you're buying in to a lens system. Your camera's lens mount determines what lenses you can use, and that camera brand's lenses will be dependent on whether or not the camera brand changes its lens mount. Nikon has not changed its lens mount since 1959 and it is well known in the industry for great lenses with very good glass formulas. You won't have problems finding lenses in the future.

Best FILM camera for amateur, photography classes: Nikon N80 with the Nikkor 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6D lens (also a macro lens) or the Nikkor 35-105mm f/3.5-5.6D(macro) lens. This camera has many features that you will not outgrow anytime soon; it has spot meter, average/center-weighted metering and 3D matrix metering, can be used totally manually (you set the aperture, shutter speed) with auto-focus or without auto-focus, or aperture priority (you set the desired aperture, the camera sets the correct, corresponding shutter speed) or shutter priority (you set the desired shutter speed, the camera will set the correct, corresponding aperture) or totally automatic where the camera will set the aperture and shutter speed with auto-focus or if you wish, without the auto-focus. The camera is the best bang-for-your-dollar on this level, and it also has a built-in flash good up to about 5 feet. It is a sturdy, ergonomically built camera, will advance your film automatically and rewind the film as you take the last shot, and it sets the ISO automatically for you (although you can also override to "push" or "pull" film), it has on-command grid lines to help you maintain a level horizon when you do landscapes, seascapes and architectural photos. It is the poor man's "pro" camera. Get the instructions manual; there are many more features that I do not have the time or space to include here.

I still have two of these cameras even though I have my two trusty pro-level Nikon F5 cameras.

The lens is the most versatile lens around; you can use it as a wide angle lens (28-35mm), regular lens (45-55mm), as a portrait lens (80-90mm), as a short telephoto lens (90-105mm) and as a macro-lens (it converts to a macro lens by switching a small switch). The Nikkor 35-105mm f/3.5-5.6D (macro) lens is the older but equally good lens that is a few dollars cheaper. You might even want to include a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D for low light situations; this little lens is easy to carry and will help you out in low light situations where you might otherwise have great difficulties or you might not get at all.

Once you have the film processed, you can either scan the images at home (if you have a scanner at home) or you can have a CD made by the lab that processes your film. You'll the have the film for future use, and not have to worry about archival issues, still not unsettled in the digital technology.

Point and shoot camera: check into the Canon S3-iS. It does not have interchangeable lens but it has many good features considering its price range.

Best digital SLR for amateur or photography classes: Nikon D50 with the kit lens, which I would recommend over the Canon S3-iS since there's not much difference in prices and there is so much more camera in the Nikon D50; or, the Nikon D70S with the kit lens; this camera is still going strong and people are still raving over its many good qualities. With these Nikon cameras, you'll have a camera that will retain a higher resale price than any other when you decide to upgrade to another camera, and the lenses will surely fit any other Nikon digital camera!

Check with www.keh.com and see what they have; if you don't see what you want, go back in 2 or 3 days and be ready to buy at once since their merchandise doesn't stay very long on their shelves.

If you truly wish to stay in photography, whether to make this your profession or for the sake of having a lifelong hobby (that is also very therapeutic), get a camera that you can grow with, and develop skills and let your natural talents grow. But the best you can afford if you're sure that you're going to be in photography a long time, but buy wisely and save money in the process! For now, buy good but used cameras in good shape and buy only from reputable places where you'll have a certain degree of security.

You must have realistic expectations in buying your camera and lens; $250 is NOT realistic. Your best bet is to get a good but used N80 at about $170 and get the Nikkor 35-105mm f/3.5-5.6D(macro) lens for about $140 or so, or maybe about $530 for a Nikon D50 with the kit lens. Do NOT even think that you'll be saving any kind of real money by getting a generic lens; you will get what you pay for! Don't fall into this trap as so many others have; get into good habits from the start. If you choose to go with a Canon camera, get Canon lenses, and if you go with Nikon, get Nikkor lenses... don't put cheap tires on your Rolls-Royce! Cheap lenses are cheap lenses; stay away from generics!

Good luck and best wishes.

What diffrent with Windoes Vista???

3d scanner manufacturers image

=]

what the diffrence between windows Vista, and xp?

which ones better?

And is xp easier to use or something?

(its going to be used on a laptop)
im basically using my laptop for word, powerpoint, internet........school stuff basically.

Answer
Windows Vista has wonderful graphic features. I love a few things - you can actually see items in your folders. If you hover the cursor over an item in your taskbar it shows a mini version of what it is (useful if you've got two things open with similar names). There is a really cool tool that does screen capture (called the snipping tool). Another cool feature is the switch between windows button - this button shows you in 3D all of the stuff you have open at a 45 degree angle so it's easy to find things when you have lots open. The higher security features are also a definite benefit.

I found it really easy to set-up and easy to use. The help menu is very informative.

My laptop came with it already installed and I've had no problems whatsoever.

If you're thinking of upgrading - read this first. Run the upgrade advisor - it will tell you exactly what you need to run all the features smoothly. In order to use all of the 3D features you need a minimum of 1 GB RAM. Here's a link to the upgrade advisor (there's also hints and tips at the bottom of the page). http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/content.aspx?ctId=390

People who have problems are those who did not run the upgrade advisor and have a number of older peripherals (printers, scanners, etc.) and other software on their computer. Manufacturer's need time to create upgrades and drivers for Vista (most software/peripherals require different drivers than XP). If you have lots of games/software etc. on your laptop you may want to wait 3 - 6 months.

Hope this helps.

my Windows Experience Index Dropped?

Q. I have an Alienware m11x...I updated some drivers from the manufacturer's website and made sure they were the latest ones. My index score for Gaming Graphics (3D business and gaming graphics performance) just dropped from 6.5 to 4.4! What the hell happened??

Answer
drivers are communication packages that "speak" to the cpu and relevant hardware/software using it, in old drivers you are given specific settings for that one device, however new drivers dont have the same settings and run on new technology, you have downloaded the latest drivers, BUT now other drivers that matched your old drivers need to be updated so they can tie with each other again.

your old drivers had a better match with all your older drivers and settings, because you have updated them, the rest need updated aswel. new drivers dont like old drivers, especially in windows vista and windows 7. as these operating systems use a unique format to register drivers compared to xp.

download uniblue driver scanner (google it) and install and scan your system, takes 15 seconds, this will check ALL your drivers and download new drivers for you, but you choose what ones to install.

hope this helps.

Why dont airports use dogs instead of those 3d body scanners?

BillsGold

Dogs could detect everything those scanners do and more. Why not make them standard at every airport gate? My own theory is that you cant make a lot of money from dogs so there's no lobbyists advocating for dogs. You can make money off of those scanners ($150,000 a machine?). Is our security being subverted by washington lobbyists?

Answer
If each team had several dogs all trained in detecting different substances, the handlers could simply walk the dogs along the line of waiting passengers and remove anyone the dogs "hit" on. Forget technology, let nature expose them. I agree. Dogs not scanners.

how can i make my pc faster for free ?

3d scanner buy online image

soulman

one more thing how can i get rid of all the rubbish 2 make my pc faster
i use torrents download everything so i have alot of stuff on my pc

Answer
If your PC is slowing down, it can be the results of two things
( Software Problems AND / OR Hardware Capacity )

For the problems (software) part, here are a few suggestions:

As you use torrent software, malware may have invaded your computer, get this free scanner to check for it: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-amp-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html?tag=mncol&cdlPid=10861988

*Don't worry about the name, it destroys the malware not the computer*

Also get yourself this FREE Firewall/Antivirus combo called Comodo Internet Security: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

Take the one on the left (the free version) *This is the one I use and it is good*

Get the free Process Explorer v11.3 to see what is loading when your computer starts and help control them: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

Also get the free Startup Delayer that delays the start of some programs for faster booting:
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/startdelay.html

To nuke rubbish, read this article: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=547 ,
use this free program: http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/home
and a good powerful free cleaning program that I use: http://www.glaryutilities.com/gu.html

Between those 3 links, you should be able to clean and speed your computer.

( A word of caution, with programs this powerful, be sure to read all instructions twice so that you can fix it once ! )

The Java Runtime Environment can cause slowdowns if you made updates, you should use a free program I use myself called JavaRa to get the latest version of the JRE and remove the older versions.

Here is a short explanation on JavaRa and Java:

JavaRa is a simple tool that does a simple job: it checks if your computer has the latest version of the JRE. If the version you have installed has been superseded by a newer version the program will download and install this newer version for you, by running Java's update program. JavaRa then allows you to remove all possible older versions of this program. This will ensure that the security of your computer is enhanced and extra space on your hard disk is created.

Java software in general and the Java JRE in particular allow you to run applications called 'applets' that are written in the Java programming language. You probably have Java JRE installed on your computer because these applets allow you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, view images in 3D, as well as many others.

Find more information here: http://raproducts.org/javara.html
And the download link on this page: http://raproducts.org/


And now the suggestions for the capacity (hardware) part:

If you have the means to buy a second internal drive (if you don't have one already) and if your system has the space to put it in, I would advice to go that way.

If you cannot add an internal, go for an external !

After installing (if you decide to follow my suggestion), you should follow this guide to move the My Documents folder to the new drive:
http://www.techsupportalert.com/how_to_move_my_documents.htm

That should free quite a bit of space from the original drive.

If you made your own document folders (.doc, .xls, .ppt, jpg, .png, .gif OR any other type of document) outside of the normal structure, move these also to the new drive with a file manager.


So here we have it, I hope this will help guide you to a faster machine


Good luck

Cheers

Will 3D mmorpgs mess up my computer in this situation?

Star

Hello,
I have a Windows Vista 64-bit notebook with a huge memory, 4.00GB RAM, and a 2.53 GHz processor (I don't know what all that means, but i know it's very good).
The only problem is I have a sucky graphics card for games (from what I've heard): Mobile Intel(R) GMA 4500MHD... Since i have no idea what that means, it has a total available graphics memory of 1759MB, and a dedicated and system video memory of 64MB.
I haven't played any games on this laptop yet because my parents bought it for me for school and expect me to have it for at least 2 years. My dad is a worry freak and thinks if I play any games, it will mess up the computer...
I tried learning a little about graphic cards and it seems if I play 3D mmorpgs (like Tales Runner or Anarchy Online), mine will not be good enough...
I was wondering if
1. I can still play the game and
2. if it will mess up my computer in any way.

It seems I wrote way too much, but I wanted to be specific.. Sorry!
Thank you so much in advance for helping a computer idiot like me! ^^

Many of them are played in browser and thus not graphics heavy in order to reach a broad range of pc users with various types of gfx cards, memory, etc. Games will not mess up you computer. Since your graphics card is not that great and you have ton of memory [not really sure why?] you will be able to play a lot of games on you pc. They will most likely be laggy but you can turn down the settings in the video preferences of most pc games. Just check and see what the minimum system requirements are for the game you want to play and compare it with your PCs specs.

You probably want to get a good anti-virus and spyware scanner as well. If you get on the internet at all, I assume you do since you posted on Y!, then this is essential. Scan everything, and scan it often. This will help ease your fathers conscious.

Bah Humbug!

how to create a 3d model of a guitar?

3d scanner body image

Paul

i want to create a 3d model of a guitar. what ways are there to help me create it with the software i have, as in importing photo files or a scanning the guitar itself?

Answer
if you meant to design 3D guitar on computer, you could simple collect measurements and re draw image in 3D editor like Sketchup

http://www.strata.com/products/strata_3d_cx_suite/strata_foto_3d_cx/
could be use to take photos and place visually into rendered object of guitar body

if you meant to actually make model as life size copy,
that would require laser scanner and printer

Answer
Potential Charter issues ... One could argue that the body scanner represent an unreasonable search (section 8) or violate security of the person (section 7), but they would likely be saved by the reasonable limits clause (Section 1).

some art can be done with pen and markers as well, then uploaded to computer, for digital art, you can use various brands of tablets, and several drawing and painting programs,

also some art can be designed in 3d programs, then repainted in other paint programs, also possible to render 3d image with game engines, and incorporate into other editors,

What would be a good laptop?

3d scanner desktop image

Justin H

I am getting ready to purchase a new laptop. I want one with a decent size screen and a fingerprint scanner. It will be used for everyday computing and school work.

Answer
If you're a little into gaming like myself, you're @ the store and looking at the display laptops, the 1st thing you should look for on computer surface itself is a logo sticker for NVidia or ATI Mobility Radeon just below the keyboard. This shows that the laptop has a DEDICATED GRAPHICS CARD. Diablo III, the game I would love most to play is said to run on 3D graphics & is rumored to need at least 1GB of graphics memory (a lower graphics memory = cheaper laptop price), so always check the system requirement specs of the game's packaging (ex. SIMS 3; see if your laptop meets all these requirements).
Next important aspect is the RAM (memory). If you're in designing & you need to ran applications like AutoCAD 2007 or softwares used for editing photos and videos, you have to make sure that the laptop has at least 2GB DDR2 memory modules in it (the more, the better; DDR3 the fastest and newest type of memory modules that came out last October).
But what makes a computer really run fast? It is it's processor! So if you really want your processor to have computing prowess & for you to be able to run different applications simultaneously, make sure it's as efficient as an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (Centrino 2 is a Core 2 Duo that features power saving capabilities; Quad Core is for gaming fanatics). A Core 2 Duo, is like having 2 motors running your machine each independent of the other which means for a Quad Core, it's like 4 motors are running the machine (that means it will run faster & more efficient even if its frequency is lower to that of a Core 2 Duo). Intel: Core 2 Duo, Centrino 2, Quad Core & Core i-7 (Core i-5 for desktops only as of now) are all very much faster and better than an Intel: Atom, Celeron & Pentium (and their more affordable AMD counterparts). Just make sure that you have at least 2GHz of speed on your processor. For my computer, I chose an Intel® Core⢠i7-720QM Processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB; newest type just came out this Nov) w/c is just the right stuff for the applications I use & games I play.
The average laptop LCD screen size is 15.4". If you want something smaller than that with these 3 features I just shed some light on, expect the price to go higher (ex. for 13.3" & 14.1" LCD screens).
The HDD (Hard Disc Drive) should have at least 320GB {Although I would have loved my computer more if it came with two HDD bays... 1st one for a 128GB SSD (Solid State Drive) and a back-up 500GB (72000rpm) 2nd HDD}.
If you've thought of a small, portable and affordable laptop, the new Sony CW13FX/B Jet Black glossy notebook went on sale @ Fry's about 3 weeks ago (for only $699.99). I checked out the price they had in other stores, and Fry's was cheaper by about $200 {go to Fry's Electronics (www.Fry's.com) then type in this # 6029078 (or 6029138 for white & 6029108 for pink) in the search box under Notebooks/Tablets before you click on GO}. Now, after the sale, the price went up by $100, so we are waiting for it to go on sale again after Thanksgiving. Let's say you are on 9th grade.. when buying a computer, you have to consider if you will still be able to use the one you bought for college? For this particular Sony model, I would assure you, you can still use it for college as long as you take good care of it & not break it (for the technology installed on this computer will not be outdated & still be good in 10 years to come, but this is just an example). There are a lot of good brand of computers out there Toshiba, Dell, HP and ACER (w/c owns Asus & Gateway; has affordable computers with the newest technology installed), you just need to look for the ones on sale (try display computers on Clearance Sale inside stores like Micro Center, Best Buy and Office Depot). Try http://www.newegg.com/ look for HP Pavilion dv6-1362nr.
Microsoft Office is an office productivity software (so you would need to buy the retail version after the 60-day Free Trial Version that comes with all brand new computers expires, to be able to use the Word, Excel and Power Point applications). Retail version is about $159, but you can get a discounted price of $99 with a configured Dell laptop (www.dell.com).
MacBooks, that is on a totally different aspect for Apple has their own OS (Operating System) unlike the common Windows OS (XP, Vista and the newest Windows 7) that most computers come with.
Some places to start looking for the best prices, my advice, go to Fry's, CostCo, MicroCenter and BestBuy's web sites for updates & comparison. There are a lot of options and different combinations you can try in customizing your own laptop, just stick to the bare essentials first (www.HP.com). The 15.6" HP laptop I customized and had configured with the Intel® Core⢠i-7 came to a total amount of $1,455.80 ($136 tax + other sur-charges already included). I chose to pay more to have the newest technology installed, so that I don't have to worry about it getting outdated within the next 15 yrs.

Can this computer run Windows Vista Business?

Can this computer run Vista Business smoothly? And can it run smoothly when playing games like Imperial Glory?

Would help a lot if you mentioned the computer brand and model number.

My opinion: Don't waste your money upgrading your computer to Vista.

Imperial Glory does not run with Vista.
=================

Upgrade paths
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/buyorupgrade/upgradepaths.mspx

Do not waste your money changing to Vista Business. It will run noticably slower and the money you will spend to upgrade is not far from the cost of a new computer.

For Vista 2 GB RAM is best.
Your graphics adapter is no longer supported.

$200 Vista Business
$80-$170 2GB RAM

How do I convert a 2d image into a 3d image that i can paint digitally?

3d scanner games image

Kevin Solt

I paint miniature models for a board game called Warhammer 40k, and I want to know if there is a program (or programs) that can allow me to upload a picture of the model, and paint it (even in a different program) so that I can try out new paint schemes without having to actually buy the paints first and put them on the model. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer
Well, this is a bit of a complicated task. Unless you have the money to be spending on a three-dimensional scanner, you're pretty much sunk.

If you simply want to test out colors, your best bet may be to take photos of your unpainted model (or have it painted white, if you want better results later), convert the photo to grayscale and open it in Photoshop.

Create a new layer, set it to multiply, and use the brush tool to color on top of the black and white photo of the model. This should give you a good enough indication of what the end result will look like.

can I use a flat bed scanner to photograph a 3D object?

ben

Im not looking to photograph anything large, just 2"-3" tall. When I scan an object, anything touching the glass comes out clear, but anything 1/2" or more off the glass comes out blurred and dark. Is there a particular scanner out there that is known to scan objects well? Or is there some special techniques I can try to enhance my images quality? Thank you

Answer
Nope, sorry. Flatbed scanners are only focused on the glass with that .5 you discovered. You can make some cool images by rolling the thing along the motion of the scanning sensor that may look pretty groovy, but you cannot take a photo.
I'd walk into the closest camera shop and ask to see a camera and bring a card in with you to take the image home.

Statue maker?

3d scanner affordable image

A(V)iTi$ F

i wanna know where could i buy a automatic head statue maker that can build statues with photos that it takes
i seen this device in public places before
but i wanna know more

Answer
not quite sure what you are talking about. If you are talking about a 3D laser scanner and a 3D printer then look either up. Or it's a CNC milling machine. Z-corp is a well known company for 3D printers.
Neither 3d laser scanner not 3D printer are yet household items. So the price is correspondingly. I'd be able to pay the rent for more than a year for what it could set you back.
If you are talking about something affordable for any average person, please post, I'd be interested as well.

Information on television history?

3d scanner reviews image

LUCY

I'm doing a school project on the history of the television and i was wondering if anyone could give me any info like when it was first invented, when colour,3d and hd came in, how many channels it had at first, what they were made out of, when remote controls were invented and stuff like that? it's monday and my project is due wednesday so please help. thanks

Answer
I have to warn you, this is a very small paste from a huge article in Wikipedia.

I went to Google and wrote : advent of television invention and found many article and just selected a small section from Wikipedia.

paste:
The beginnings of mechanical television can be traced back to the discovery of the photoconductivity of the element selenium by Willoughby Smith in 1873, the invention of a scanning disk by Paul Gottlieb Nipkow in 1884 and John Logie Baird's demonstration of televised moving images in 1926.

As a 23-year-old German university student, Paul Nipkow proposed and patented the first electromechanical television system in 1884. Although he never built a working model of the system, variations of Nipkow's spinning-disk "image rasterizer" for television became exceedingly common, and remained in use until 1939. Constantin Perskyi had coined the word television in a paper read to the International Electricity Congress at the International World Fair in Paris on August 25, 1900. Perskyi's paper reviewed the existing electromechanical technologies, mentioning the work of Nipkow and others.

However, it was not until 1907 that developments in amplification tube technology, by Lee DeForest and Arthur Korn among others, made the design practical. The first demonstration of the instantaneous transmission of still silhouette images was by Georges Rignoux and A. Fournier in Paris in 1909, using a rotating mirror-drum as the scanner and a matrix of 64 selenium cells as the receiver.

In 1911, Boris Rosing and his student Vladimir Zworykin created a television system that used a mechanical mirror-drum scanner to transmit, in Zworykin's words, "very crude images" over wires to the "Braun tube" (cathode ray tube or "CRT") in the receiver. Moving images were not possible because, in the scanner, "the sensitivity was not enough and the selenium cell was very laggy".
On March 25, 1925, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird gave the first public demonstration of televised silhouette images in motion, at Selfridge's Department Store in London. AT&T's Bell Telephone Laboratories transmitted halftone still images of transparencies in May 1925. On June 13 of that year, Charles Francis Jenkins transmitted the silhouette image of a toy windmill in motion, over a distance of five miles from a naval radio station in Maryland to his laboratory in Washington, using a lensed disk scanner with a 48-line resolution.

However, if television is defined as the live transmission of moving images with continuous tonal variation, Baird first achieved this privately on October 2, 1925. But strictly speaking, Baird had not yet achieved moving images on October 2. His scanner worked at only five images per second, below the threshold required to give the illusion of motion, usually defined as at least 12 images per second. By January, he had improved the scan rate to 12.5 images per second.

Then on January 26, 1926 at his laboratory in London, Baird gave what is widely recognized as being the world's first demonstration of a working television system to members of the Royal Institution and a newspaper reporter.

How do I animate 2D images that I've sketched out?

*Pirate*

I really want to do animated films at home, I can draw, have a scanner at my disposal and a computer. I know that I would need a software program to put all the frames together, I just don't know where to go to find one. Cost is not an issue, I just want the best and easiest to use software. Also, how would I go about adding sound/voices to the mix? I can find someone with recording equipment I can use. Any and all serious answers are very appreciated :)

Answer
If money is no problem then find a software program of your choosing...there's too many out there for me to plug. I "studied" with 3D Studio from AutoDesk wayyy back in 1993 and have since not kept up with the trade...read reviews of what's out there and perhaps do the "30 day trail" option if any have it.
Good luck!

Do almost all laptops have cameras now?

3d scanner camera software image

Q. I was just thinking about getting a laptop and it looks to me like almost all of then have cameras now. Also could you recommend some good brands?

Answer
Just about all of the latest laptops and netbooks I've seen today have decent web cams built into them.

There are many excellent laptops and netbooks out there today. Going with a brand name computer with a good warranty and support program is important.

Do a search for "top laptop reviews" and you will find many websites with customer reviews on the latest and best laptops along with their prices.

Something to consider while shopping for a good laptop or netbook is how much can you spend? What size screen do you want? (15" to 17" are nice sizes, more efficient). Try out the keyboard if you can and make sure it's a full-sized keyboard that feels good.

Make sure you have at least 2 gigabytes of memory if your laptop has Vista running on it. Also, make sure your hard drive is at least 150 gigabytes, preferably larger. And be clear what software comes with your unit, not just trialware programs. Also, make sure your new laptop or netbook comes with a good graphics card on it.

And do make sure you like the look of your laptop or netbook. Make sure it has a nice outer-shell coating and it's something you really like. Check for things like how long your battery cell will last (hopefully between 3-6 hours) and what type of built-in security it might have. HP has some nice units with fingerprint scanners built in.

And while I think about it, jump over to QVC.com and HSN.com as each of them represent HP and ACER laptop and netbook manufacturers and sometimes you can find some great deals there, including flex payments.

Here is CNET's reviews of the Top 5 laptops: http://reviews.cnet.com/best-laptops/

How do I scan qr codes with my 3DS?

Pearl

I updated the system, and I have connection but when I go onto the camera, it doesn't have the option to scan a QR code.. Is there something i'm doing wrong?
Thanks for the help :)

Answer
Nintendo 3DS now features a full QR Code Scanner, which can be accessed via the camera. While the scanning is not availible in the actualy camera application, you can find the scanner by going to the home menu and pressing either the L or R buttons to activate the âmulti-task cameraâ (which doesnât allow you to record, only capture still 3D/2D photos).

Here, a new button has been included â when pressed, the QR guidelines will appear on the top screen, allowing users to line it up to a real-world QR Code. Once scanned, the information â such as URL, etc, will be displayed, and you will be asked if you wish to launch the relevant software. In the case of a URL, the internet browser will launch.
