3d scanning video games image

shinigami8

i have a P4 (i think), processor 2.4 ghz, ram 512 mhz, hard disk space 10 GB ( for games), video or 3D card 96 MB, some sort of sound card (built in).
i like games like call of duty/modern warfare,dragon origins,war craft, gta's. and no horror games they give me nightmares .
thank you any thing will help.

Answer
go here to make 100%.your pc can run the game
select a game from dropdown list and scan
http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/srtest/
it scans your pc to see if it can run the game.
always do this before buying a game

why are the games on my cyberpower laptop so slow? How can u make them faster?

baglez

Everytime i play a game it is realy laggy and even some times i get the blue screen of death and it even shuts down on me! The Cyberpower laptops are suppose to be the best gaming laptops around! I am Mad and don't know what to do!

Answer
You have a long road ahead of you to figure this out. Here are some pointers. Worst case scenario your hard drive is broken or a ram chip is loose.

First visit this site and select the games you are running. It will analyze your system and tell you what your system is lacking.

Sometimes you can use this program to over ride the video card and run it on the CPU. Check out there official site its called 3d analyzer.
http://www.drnoob.abitterpill.org/3danalyzer-v236.zip

How old is your laptop? are you a smoker? you may have dust filled fans. Go buy some compressed air and try and clean the vents.Also getting a laptop cooler may help performance.

Install latest drivers and updates for your hardware and operating system.

Do the following scans and checks:
1. Disk Cleanup
2. Defrag
3. Spyware scan
4. virus scan

After all of this your system has just gotten a tune up.
I personally would clean the dust and just reformat and start anew.

I want to expieriment with animation?

3d scanner 3ds max image

Q. Can anyone reccomen me a computer program I can use to make cartoons.

Answer
For 3D Maya or 3Ds Max

For 2D Macromedia Flash (try getting a trial)

Any good aniamtion program (not just sequencing crappy gifs) is going to have a VERY steep learning curve and will be VERY expensive! For 2D invest in a tablet, a good one, a good scanner, and DVDs or CDs for backup. For traditional get a light table (cheap tracing boxes $20) normal light tables (100 if you're lucky). Paper is expensive at 30 for a small pack, but you can but it unpunched if you want to invest in a $1000 hole punch. If you want good equipment, it's way beyond an amateurs price tag. Then you typically scan it in and use Flash, Photoshop or Illustrator even to clean it up.

You can draw with sand or paint to experiment. For claymation you need a special camera (200+) and film and the like. Then a cheap or free editing program.

Flash and 3Ds Max are the biggies so you will need $500 and a $20 manual and a lot of time seearching EBAY for used equipment.

Cutouts are a simple way to start off. So flash might be the best way to start. Also, it's almsot impossible to learn basic techniques like timing by starting out with 3D, so 2D is the way to start off. Traditional first, the rest follows.

Has anyone had a level 2 ultrasound? Can you explain?

3d scanner baby image

Lis

NOT A 3D. Just a normal scan that is more detailed and they go through thoroughly looking for defects etc. and give you a better picture of what is going on with your child...I am just a bit nervous about an appt I have on Wednesday.

Answer
I'm assuming you mean the 20 week one? Here in UK we call that anomaly scan. The scan is a routine one offered to all pregnant women about 20 weeks into their pregnancy and is designed to screen for any potential problems with the organs, skeleton, skin and development. Some places can also tell you the sex.

This is an enjoyable scan for most parents and the likelihood of a problem is small- in less than 2% of scans we detect a problem and in most of those the problem is minor. Some major problems can also be detected at previous scans so if all looked healthy at your 12 week scan, and you've not had any problems since, then chances are high your baby is fine.

The scan itself is like all ultrasounds- performed by a qualified doctor, midwife or sonographer ina darkened room, where ultrasound jelly is applied to your abdomen then the scanner placed on your bump to give the image on screen. The scan lasts about half an hour, and you'll be given pictures of your baby afterwards.

Some places say you need a full bladder, but I don't recommend this after 16 weeks as it can actually obscure the view.

Good luck and congratulations on your baby.

Can you photo-copy or scan a baby's ultrascan photo???

carrienich

I had my scan done yesterday and came into work to show my colleagues and to copy and scan it so as to send it to family overseas, but one of the girls says that you cant do this as it ruins the picture, or something???

Can you tell me if this is true??? Have any of you girls out there done this???

Its not one of the modern 3D ones just the usual black and white traditionale pciture.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer
I think your friend is talking about the fact that, long-term, the scan picture will fade from heat and light (as the paper and printing is the same as the old fax machines), but the light from the photocopier or scanner will not instantly ruin your scan picture.

Copying and scanning your ultrasound is actually the only way to guarantee you have a truly permanent record of your scan, because the printout the technician gave you will eventually fade. I have copied and scanned all of my ultrasound pictures onto my laptop, with NO problem whatsoever!

In what ways do robots help humans?

3d scanner accuracy image

In what ways? do they make our jobs easier. and how do they help us

Answer
Contemporary uses
Main articles: Industrial robot and Domestic robot

Robots can be placed into roughly two classifications based on the type of job they do. The first category includes tasks which a robot can do better than a human. Here, robots can increase productivity, accuracy, and endurance. The second category consists of dirty, dangerous or dull jobs where it is desirable to replace human labor with robotics.


[edit] Increased productivity, accuracy, and endurance
A Pick and Place robot in a factory

Many factory jobs are now performed by robots. This has led to cheaper mass-produced goods, including automobiles and electronics. Stationary manipulators used in factories have become the largest market for robots. In 2006, there were an estimated 3,540,000 service robots in use, and an estimated 950,000 industrial robots. [35] A different estimate counted more than one million robots in operation worldwide in the first half of 2008, with roughly half in Asia, 32% in Europe, 16% in North America, 1% in Australasia and 1% in Africa.[36]

Some examples of factory robots:

* Car production: Over the last three decades automobile factories have become dominated by robots. A typical factory contains hundreds of industrial robots working on fully automated production lines, with one robot for every ten human workers. On an automated production line, a vehicle chassis on a conveyor is welded, glued, painted and finally assembled at a sequence of robot stations.
* Packaging: Industrial robots are also used extensively for palletizing and packaging of manufactured goods, for example for rapidly taking drink cartons from the end of a conveyor belt and placing them into boxes, or for loading and unloading machining centers.
* Electronics: Mass-produced printed circuit boards (PCBs) are almost exclusively manufactured by pick-and-place robots, typically with SCARA manipulators, which remove tiny electronic components from strips or trays, and place them on to PCBs with great accuracy.[37] Such robots can place hundreds of thousands of components per hour, far out-performing a human in speed, accuracy, and reliability.[38]

Automated guided vehicle carrying medical supplies and records

* Automated guided vehicles (AGVs): Mobile robots, following markers or wires in the floor, or using vision[39] or lasers, are used to transport goods around large facilities, such as warehouses, container ports, or hospitals.[40]

*
o Early AGV-Style Robots were limited to tasks that could be accurately defined and had to be performed the same way every time. Very little feedback or intelligence was required, and the robots needed only the most basic exteroceptors (sensors). The limitations of these AGVs are that their paths are not easily altered and they cannot alter their paths if obstacles block them. If one AGV breaks down, it may stop the entire operation.

*
o Interim AGV-Technologies developed that deploy triangulation from beacons or bar code grids for scanning on the floor or ceiling. In most factories, triangulation systems tend to require moderate to high maintenance, such as daily cleaning of all beacons or bar codes. Also, if a tall pallet or large vehicle blocks beacons or a bar code is marred, AGVs may become lost. Often such AGVs are designed to be used in human-free environments.

*
o Newer AGVs such as the Speci-Minder,[41] ADAM, [42] Tug[43] and PatrolBot Gofer[44] are designed for people-friendly workspaces. They navigate by recognizing natural features. 3D scanners or other means of sensing the environment in two or three dimensions help to eliminate cumulative errors in dead-reckoning calculations of the AGV's current position. Some AGVs can create maps of their environment using scanning lasers with simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and use those maps to navigate in real time with other path planning and obstacle avoidance algorithms. They are able to operate in complex environments and perform non-repetitive and non-sequential tasks such as transporting photomasks in a semiconductor lab, specimens in hospitals and goods in warehouses. For dynamic areas, such as warehouses full of pallets, AGVs require additional strategies. Only a few vision-augmented systems currently claim to be able to navigate reliably in such environments.

[edit] Dirty, dangerous, dull or inaccessible tasks
A U.S. Marine Corps technician prepares to use a telerobot to detonate a buried improvised explosive device near Camp Fallujah, Iraq

There are many jobs which humans would rather leave to robots. The job may be boring, such as domestic cleaning, or dangerous, such as exploring inside a volcano.[45] Other jobs are physically inaccessible, such as exploring another planet,[46] cleaning the inside of a long pipe, or performing laparoscopic surgery.[47]

* Telerobots: When a human cannot be present on site to perform a job because

Is there a software to model a complete human frm their photo with accurate vitals.?

ne0_k0ol

i wud like to model a female(wih exact vitals) in 3d frm a photo but don't wanna use ne high end 3d programs(3d max,lightwave etc). wat r my options.

Answer
well, a program that could model a human body with a great accuracy from photo is basically nonsense, and even if one exist, they'll be rated as higher end program than 3dmax and lightwave.

The only option I could reccommend is to use a CAT Scanner (the one used in a hospital). CAT Scan has a fairly good accuracy, although you would need a really good reason for borrowing such a tool from hospital.

Can someone use this idea for cameras ? Please pass along and maybe it will evolve into something worthwhile !?

3d scanner reviews image

Mr. J

Dear Reader,

I offer these ideas for your consideration. First a few comments.
In the 1980âs a type of computer program, known as an expert system, was developed to diagnose Meningitis after reviewing the symptoms of possible candidate patients. It was more effective than the doctors it was tested against ! It is, I think, reasonable to assume that many other such programs could and should be developed and made widely available to the public. This would go a long way in reducing health care cost and move us forward technologically speaking, as a species. Now to, how this relates to camera improvements.

First: It is a fact that many human diseases reveal themselves in human fingernails, toenails, and in the eye. I am suggesting that a digital camera, loaded with a well written program, probably a combination of expert system and neural network could be used to diagnose potential disease conditions. Simply, place your hand or other such appendage on a controlled surface, take a picture and analyze same. I am aware that this concept is very general but I offer it to you with the hope that you will give it fair consideration.
If successful this could open up exciting new markets for camera makers.

Second: I would like to see a camera that has a program that will determine the area of surface by simple taking a picture of it. I think this should be fairly straight forward if you were to use Pickâs formula for determining area.

Third: I would like to see a digital camera add a long exposure feature to itsâ list of features. Once again I think this should be doable by creating a program that tells the camera to take pictures at intervals and âoverlaysâ each picture, thereby capturing more light for each picture pixel. Of course, a motorized tripod could be used to capture astronomical footage. This technique should increase still picture quality by orders of magnitude !

Lastly: The Intel corporation recently announced an optical device that will be available soon that will be fast enough, I have read, to download a high definition movie in on second ! This will of course make USB obsolete. It would seem that one could use this tool to connect a camera to other devices such as a microscope, telescope, or any other âopticalâ reader and get excellent video and extreme data analysis. I hope to soon see this available to the general public.

I have posted these thoughts on the web. I hope these memes evolve and inspire others to create.

Thank you,

Mr. J
Thanks for your input Joe.

On item 1, please realize that many corporations have a vested interest NOT to create such a program, whereas, camera makers are in need of ideas that will allow them to compete with ever better cell phone cameras.

On item 2, The area idea was meant to be a quick fix to problems like , finding the area of a wall you might want to wall paper or paint. It would only be used for "good enough approximations.

On item 3, I was thinking more about the possibility of using the camera via long exposure to act as a substitute telescope. Each image captured would bring new light to the lens. A program would add this photon info, by laying each image on TOP of the prior image. The internal program could keep track of new information being picked up thereby allowing a simple camera to view deep sky objects, and vivid still photos.

If no one else has input I will give you the best answer. I just wanted to post these ideas somewhere, in the hopes that by creating a mem

Answer
1 - interesting idea - however i think it would make more sense to create some computer software and then tether it to an off the shelf camera - reducing costs over all.

2 - To determine the surface area, you would have to have a 3d model of surface, because otherwise it would not be able to take into consideration and bumps or groves, as these would just appear as a flat surface. i believe that there are laser scanners that can already do this. I think they use them to scan in the 3d sculptures that are created to create animations such as the ones produced by pixar.

3 - There is a product that does it, and infact you can do it yourself, if you take hundred of pictured of a scene from the same point, load them into photoshop, and merge them, it will create a huge image that is all of yours stitched together to make one. Google Gigapixel photo.

4 - Light Peak - the technology you are referring to most probably will make usb obsolete. Telescopes are already available with mounts that allow you to place an SLR on the back, and use it as a huge lens. And video microscopes are available, with electron microscopes being able to produce very detailed and highly magnified images. The data transfer speed is not the issue here, rather the resolution of the cameras.

Anyway, some interesting ideas.

Answer
No need to buy a new computer. You just need a new video card and more memory. Best budget card is a Radeon HD 4670.

Get this little beast for just $50 with the mail-in rebate:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814140095

For the memory, use the Crucial System Scanner tool. That will tell you exactly the type of memory you need to buy, available slots, how much more memory you can fit, etc.:

A 1GB stick will do:

how to create a 3d model of a guitar?

3d scanner printer 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

Strata - 3D CX
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

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

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.

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.

Is there any other COOL editing software like iStopmotion i can use to make awesome videos?

3d scanner uk image

JustASmall

What is it called and what does it do... thanks!!

Answer
Try these. All are FREE......

Pencil : http://www.pencil-animation.org/
Pencil is an animation/drawing software for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. It lets you create traditional hand-drawn animation (cartoon) using both bitmap and vector graphics. Pencil is free and open source.

Synfig Animation Studio : http://synfig.org/
Synfig is a powerful, industrial-strength vector-based open-source 2D animation software package, designed from the ground-up for producing feature-film quality animation with fewer people and resources.2D Animation has traditionally been very expensive because every frame must be drawn by hand. Even with today´s digital inking and painting software, the process still relies on individuals hand-drawing each frame. This laborious task is called "tweening".Synfig eliminates the task of manual tweening, producing smooth, fluid motion without the animator having to draw out each frame individually. This allows you to produce 2D animation with fewer people while producing art of a higher quality.

Tapptoons Linetester : http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/tapptoons/index.htm
The Tapptoons Linetester enables animators to use a scanner or video camera (with compatible capture card) to input animation images into a standard PC and edit their work, adding soundtrack and color if they wish and to output the result as a Windows AVI. Can be used for puppet animation as well as drawn animation.

eDrawings : http://www.edrawingsviewer.com/
eDrawings is a freeware utility which will give the user the power to view, create and share 3D models and 2D drawings. eDrawings offers unique capabilities like point-and-click animations that make it easy for anyone with a PC to interpret and understand 2D and 3D design data.

Has anyone had a level 2 ultrasound? Can you explain?

Lis

NOT A 3D. Just a normal scan that is more detailed and they go through thoroughly looking for defects etc. and give you a better picture of what is going on with your child...I am just a bit nervous about an appt I have on Wednesday.

Answer
I'm assuming you mean the 20 week one? Here in UK we call that anomaly scan. The scan is a routine one offered to all pregnant women about 20 weeks into their pregnancy and is designed to screen for any potential problems with the organs, skeleton, skin and development. Some places can also tell you the sex.

This is an enjoyable scan for most parents and the likelihood of a problem is small- in less than 2% of scans we detect a problem and in most of those the problem is minor. Some major problems can also be detected at previous scans so if all looked healthy at your 12 week scan, and you've not had any problems since, then chances are high your baby is fine.

The scan itself is like all ultrasounds- performed by a qualified doctor, midwife or sonographer ina darkened room, where ultrasound jelly is applied to your abdomen then the scanner placed on your bump to give the image on screen. The scan lasts about half an hour, and you'll be given pictures of your baby afterwards.

Some places say you need a full bladder, but I don't recommend this after 16 weeks as it can actually obscure the view.

Good luck and congratulations on your baby.

Looking for a job I could get for experience in robots or physics in general.?

3d scanner to cnc image

Yahoo!

I am looking for a job that will help me get experience. I am a junior in high school currently, taking the advanced physics class and advanced math class. Anyone know of possibilities that I could get?"

Answer
Unless you're willing to relocate, it would help to know your location to help you find a job near you.

Otherwise you might consider starting your own business. Doing so will show that you are a self starter and more motivated and creative than someone who seeks someone else to employ them. I would suggest since you are interested in robotics that you put together a 3D printer from a kit and then you can print parts to make more 3D printers which you could sell for profit.
You could recruit some of your peers to form a business venture similar to how Apple started, paying them in shares of the company rather than in cash.

You could also put together a mini CNC mill from parts from old printers and scanners.
You could use it to make intricate carvings in plaster of paris blanks, then have someone make ceramic greenware from the molds you make, fire them, and sell them. Develop a way to automate this process.

Working for someone else, you will make someone else very rich. Working for yourself, you will make yourself very rich.

Learning through trial and error is itself an important lesson, because it teaches you how to figure out something which no one can teach you. If you only ever learn from someone showing you how to do it, then you will hit a barrier which you won't pass until you figure out how to figure stuff out.
It's better to learn this learning how to learn lesson on something that is not so dangerous. I suggested 3D printers, ceramics, etc. because those are easy to work with and relatively inexpensive. It will not do to learn the hard way when it involves expensive materials that are much more difficult to work with.

Metal has a grain just as wood has a grain. You might never need to know that unless you will be milling some very precise metal parts.

Of course you might not make a profit your first 3 years or so, but you will definitely get plenty of experience, and you certainly can put your experience in you own business down as experience on your resume.

Other than the above, you might do a search for "robotics intern" as I found a listing of many opportunities here: http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobs/list/q-robotics+intern

Statue maker?

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.

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

3d scanner uses image

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.
