Full description
3DSOM Pro 3D Software Object Modeler Pro is a stand-alone application for creating realistic textured 3d models from photographs of an object. Complex organic shapes can be scanned without requiring the time and expertise needed with conventional hand-crafted 3D modeling software. The object is placed on the special calibration mat printed directly from the software and around 20 to 30 photographs taken around the object. Once the photos are loaded into 3DSOM Pro a 3D model can be created in 3 easy steps. First you use 3DSOM Pro's semi-automatic tools for extracting the object shape in each photo. Then the "surface generation" wizard is used to automatically create a triangular mesh. Finally the "generate texture maps" wizard automatically constructs the textures including UV unwrapping. Models can be exported in a number of standard formats including 3DS, X3D as well as our own interactive web3d formats no special plugins required - the models can be viewed in any Flash or Java enabled browser. New features in 2.1 include: * Flash 3D export - this release includes a new streamed 3D web format based on the popular Adobe Flash Player 9 or higher. * X3D, STL export * Support for hardware imaging rigs - fixed camera systems or computer controlled turntables are now supported. * Accurate scaled units - you can now enter the size of the mat by measuring the special "mat unit" marker. * STL dense geometry import - STL models can now be imported untextured for texturing from photographs. * Improved support for large meshes * Improved 3DS import - 3DSOM Pro now supports non-closed 3DS meshes for importing. 3DS models can then be export in 3DSOM Pro's unique web formats such as the Java and Flash formats. Other features: Powerful masking tools * Automated masking capability - Interactive threshold selection for automatic masking. * Shrink Wrap tool for semi-automatic masking. - Just provide a rough sketch of the outline of the object and let 3DSOM Pro do the rest. * Complete set of manual masking tools including fill tool, polygon tool, circular brush tool, square brush tool. * Support for 3rd party mask editing via 4 channel TIFF and PNG. Surface Generation * Fast precise wireframe generation * Surface Optimization - Intelligently smooths away artefacts in the silhouette-based geometry without compromising accuracy. * Subdivision Surface fitting - automated fitting of a smooth subdivision surface for unbelievable geometry compression and additional improvements to the surface appearance. * Model a part of a complex object - using a set of photographs of a complicated object e.g. a camera, 3D SOM Pro now allows a single textured part e.g. the camera body to be modeled separately. * Integration with standard 3D modeling packages. - Edit or create the surface geometry in a standard 3D modeling package. Then import back to 3DSOM Pro for texturing. * Interactive mesh decimation to reduce polygon count to required level. Photo taking * Lens correction - Many zoom and wide-angle lenses distort the image so that straight lines appear curved. 3DSOM Pro now includes a special module for correcting lens distortion. * Merge multiple scans * Mat printing function to create calibration mats on an ordinary printer at any size. * Fully automatic, robust camera calibration to identify camera position and orientation. State-of-the-art Texturing Tools * Fully automatic texture map creation - automatic UV unwrap. * Incremental texture map generation - allows you to watch the process and stop as soon as the desired quality is obtained. * Texture map editing - patented texture editing approach. Rotate the current model, and then paste the rendered view into any image editor to touch up the textures by hand. * View-dependent texturing - To capture interesting lighting effects you can utilise all the input images. Because there is still an underlying 3D model, users can still view the object from any angle and have the model quickly streamed over the web. * User chosen texture map resolution up to 4000 pixels square. Save and Export * Output to industry standard formats including VRML, 3DS, Macromedia Shockwave3D for importing into 3D packages such as 3D Studio Max or publishing straight to the web * High spec. 3D viewer applet - Compact redistributable Java powered 3D viewer renders backgrounds, shadows, relighting, smooth shading, and antialiasing. Support for subdivision surfaces and view-dependent textures. * Flash 3D export - Compact redistributable Flash 3D viewer allows models to be easily exported as a Flash movie. Supports model streaming and compression. System Requirements 3DSOM Pro runs under Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000. Mac users can run 3DSOM Pro using Parallels desktop.

- you can now enter the size of the mat by measuring the special "mat unit" marker.
* STL dense geometry import
- STL models can now be imported untextured for texturing from photographs.
* Improved support for large meshes
* Improved 3DS import
- 3DSOM Pro now supports non-closed 3DS meshes for importing. 3DS models can then be export in 3DSOM Pro's unique web formats such as the Java and Flash formats.
