The Full Enchilada

(Article in Progress)
3D Digitizers have been a long sought after tool by any software 3D modeler wishing to save countless hours of tedious work trying to manually reverse engineer simple everyday life objects to recreate them in a software digital 3D world. The technology is now here and is only getting better. The most promising techniques use some form of projected light rays or lasers to scan real life objects and create a 3D digital copy.

Well, ok so as a beginner, you’re not going to be capable of creating as beautiful a model as the one above just yet, that’s something to aspire to as your skills develop. (If you want to just do animation with already created models you can get for free, that article is coming next.) In the previous articles I gave a quick overview of the programs I recommend for those wishing to delve into virtual 3D world creation, the culmination of my articles will in the end branch out to real-time game creation systems and highly realistic 3D movies, ie rendered virtual 3D worlds versus realtime interactive 3D worlds.
