I was just thinking what 3d design on the internet might become. Imagine
being able to scan in a picture and have a build set to fit the picture with
object creating like we can now with ASCII art.

Well you'd need a 3d picture of some sort....

What is a "3d picture"?

A picture that would be able to tell your magic program depth and such.
Unless of course your program is magical and doesn't need anything like
that.

I don't even know what he's talking about here..

"I was just thinking what 3d design on the internet might become. Imagine

3d objects are infinitely more complex then ASCII.. let alone art made with
it.. so.. reading this slowly.. you want to be able to make object sets with
millions of vertices using "shapes" ? Like a sphere connected to another
sphere connected to a couple of more spheres to make something like a globe
out of it? That would be similar to ASCII art.. since a E is made up of a
thousand tiny little E's. That's as best as I could make out of that

I think he means you'd say scan a picture of a house, and the program would
somehow make a 3d model of that house, using amazing magical powers to
somehow know what the back and sides of the house look like. Basicly stupid
imposible-tech.

But that's not how he was explanining it.. LoL like ASCII art.. is drawn out
by all the characters.. how would that even be similar? :) Sorry it's hard
to understand this.

Quantum physics, people. In the next century folks. It's coming, it's
coming. :) I can't wait to get ahold of a holographic camera. ^_^

Is it not already invented? Its called x-ray and cat-scan photography!

I've got no doubt at all that with-in a very few years the cameras will be
affordable to the professional photographer, and not long after be around
for your average Joe Shmoe.

hehe, then you can download objects into your 3d printer and like draw
something 3d like a cow... that you scanned with your cam

I think he meant something by the lines of modelling in a text editor...

No, you misunderstand. I don't recall ever seeing a real-life Princess Leia
hologram, or Monday Night Football in full 3-dimensional
view-it-from-any-angle type of vision.

Please quote only what you are referring to.

Just out of curiosity, why should only Imagine be able
to scan a picture and do the object stuff with it?

that Andras? Ahhh the hell with it.
