""Scanr" Sketchup Plugin Announced.

01/04/2009

Cadyou.com is proud to announce it's first, free Sketchup plugin "Scanr". In development for the 3 months this plugin will allow you to use any optical mouse as a simple 3d scanner, enabling small objects to be scanned directly into the Sketchup software!

Optical mice work by detecting small differences in the surface of your desk as you move them. By directly accessing the optical 'eye', this unique plugin can capture 3d forms from the light and shade cast as you move the mouse around an object.

In addition we expect to release an update later this month which will allow laptop owners to use the software simply by rubbing an object over the surface of their trackpad!

We can't wait to see what people will do with this ability. "Scanr" will be released on April 2nd as a free download, only on cadyou.com."

That's a neat concept.  Although I bet you half the people who try it out, the first thing they scan will be their groin.

My friends Elle O'Welle and Auro Tieffel were beta testers, and say it is fantastic software!

I downloaded a trial of this from a Russian site and am attempting to scan my groin now.

DO NOT SCAN YOUR GROIN!!!

The current Scanr beta is infected with the Conficker worm, so now my "valuables" are being held for ransom by the Russian Mafia. The good news is, once I come up with the $1M to pay the ransom, they have promised that it will be "like nuclear m1ss1le" and that I will be able to "make her cl1m4x 4 hours!!!".

I am accepting donations via PayPal...

I tried the Beta and its awesome..!

I took a laptop with an optical mouse attached into my garage and within less than 5 minutes had scanned my BMW X5.

I converted the scan into obj format and now have a model of my car that works in Poser 8 (beta).. see render above.

The doors, hood, boot, etc all open.. the lights work... even the horn works..!

Truly amazing..!

*Maybe, but can it morph to a left-hand drive vehicle ?

Quote - Maybe, but can it morph to a left-hand drive vehicle ?

There is an ERC control for that included :-)

I have just heard that Smiff Micro are releasing an adapter so that 2 wireless mouses... mice... meece.. can be attached to a pair of binoculars for faster scanning at greater distances.

and...

a telescope adapter... so that you will be able to go out into the garden on a clear night and scan Uranus in all its glory. Will be able to convert to an obj so that you will be able to manipulate and morph Uranus to your hearts content within Poser.

I have developing advance softwares that allowing to do 3D body scan from picture. For these days only I am doing for free scan to hirez Poser model of Viktoria. Ladies to be sending me please pictures of yourself in nude many angles and I will send morph file back. Also scan you for virus, no charge. More picture showing, more better result. Can also put to you male organ of Mike if you wanting to make sex change.

While attempting to scan my groin I became somewhat distracted.  I don't know how well the model came out but I did enjoy the process a whole lot.  I would recommend this plugin to anyone.

I daresay everyone's internet experience has been seriously embiggened by this fabulous new invention!

Miss Nancy, your new avatar is making me nervous. :laugh: I don't let my mouse look at my groin.  He might get envious.  Mice are like that. Mice are rodents. Squirrels are rodents.  Squirrels likes nuts.   ....you just never know.  Looks like Miss Nancy's avatar is looking for squirrels.

Oh man.  I always fall for every April Fool gag.  Grumble.

Funny thread, tho.

Hey, Miss Nancy: is that Dwayne Dibley?

===========================sigline======================================================

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.

yes, sposeta be dwayne, but unfortunately ended up looking like a cross between dibley, sir paul mccartney and emperor constantine 1.  now I'm stuck with it until I can do the obama caricature.

He looks like a cartoon Jerry Lewis to me.

NO, not Constantine!  He had a bigger hook nose that he was quite proud of.  Maybe Sir Paul, but I haven't drank enough for that yet. :laugh: LOLOLOLOLOL
