Future of 3d design // Communitymarcus.gcn.cxDec 17, 2001, 10:23am
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. moff piettDec 18, 2001, 10:10pm
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. bowenDec 18, 2001, 10:48pm
I don't even know what he's talking about here..
"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." 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 --Bowen-- moff piettDec 18, 2001, 10:52pm
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. bowenDec 18, 2001, 10:55pm
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. --Bowen-- [View Quote] sw chrisDec 18, 2001, 11:32pm
<singing> They all laughed, when Christopher Columbus, said that the world
was round. they all laughed, when Edison recorded sound. </singing> 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. ^_^ SW Chris [View Quote] just inDec 19, 2001, 2:08am
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. Regards, Justin [View Quote] trekkerxDec 19, 2001, 4:49am
hehe, then you can download objects into your 3d printer and like draw
something 3d like a cow... that you scanned with your cam -- TrekkerX Commatron & Athnex http://www.commatron.com http://www.athnex.com [View Quote] kahDec 19, 2001, 2:59pm

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. SW Chris [View Quote] shred no@1.invalidDec 21, 2001, 8:32pm

Just out of curiosity, why should only Imagine be able
to scan a picture and do the object stuff with it? [View Quote] > I was just thinking what 3d design on the internet might become.

Usually I delete the quote altogether. But you caught me this time. ;)
