A couple of days ago I got my new Fujifilm Finepix W3 camera. Its a real 3D camera that snap two photos at the same time (one for each eye). The photos can then be viewed in 3D if you have a monitor or TV that supports it. But that's not why I bought it...
It is
perfect for creating 3D models. It is much simpler to create 3D models with this than with a normal digital camera since both pictures are shot at exactly the same time and with a perfect angle of each other. I have spent some time since I got it to make my programs support MPO files (which is the file format created by the 3D camera) and now I think it works.
The result of one of my first attempts below, first the pictures snapped by the camera, and then a shaded model and a textured model.

Hi, thanks. I've bought the Fujifilm Finepix W3 camera because it had good scores in some reviews and was relatively cheap. I am very pleased with it works fine as a normal 2D camera as well.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried to make a full 3D model?
