I will also bow out on this one. All the credit goes to Troy Thorne, our creative director.

yes, i am on a mac, we can do that... its not one picture, but many. it suffices in general to take 12 pictures in 3 heigths, thas 36 pictures, and then let your software (quicktime on a mac) make that thingy of it. i made such for myself too. all you need is a digital camera, and that software to create it... maybe it needs also software to view it (?), on mac it seems be automatic... anyway, i would love see thes presentations more, is more like holding carving in your hand... thanks for showing !

This is really neat. I am not the most computer literate, but I can even do this.

Thanks, Don

Bob:
Worked just fine on my MacBookPro (OS X 10.4.10) using Safari 2.0.4. Now, how do we get our photos to do the same thing?

What a wonderful tool Bob!!! That technology certainly opens up a whole world of possibilities, and I can see a new direction for teaching aids. Is this something you will be looking at as regular feature? As a issue suppliment perhaps? Can't wait to see a ship model done on it!!!!!!!

Very cool Bob. This is a brillient application of this technology that really let's us interact with and examine a carving from ALL angles. I would love to see this used for online carving tutorials. So often you can't tell from a flat photo how something was actually done or the depth of a cut. This would go a long way towards making that possible.

Keep up the AWESOME work WCI!!! This board is indespensible for any new carver and just keeps getting better and better.

I'm not sure what software Troy used. We tried the quicktime route on an earlier project, but it was VERY labor intensive. I think he's found a simpler method...

I'll ask him to weigh in on it!
