We tried the QTVR in our earlier testing, but it didn't have the measuring feature, which we thought was VERY important. QTVR also requires something like 500+ photos (the software Troy used for this required substantially less).

I'm planning an article on the whole process in the Spring issue.

Hey Bob , Super effects. I have DSL but after it loaded, no problems. I can see where this would be a great benefit. Great idea!

Very well done. Especially nice to zoom in and see details.
Might we have ability to print the screen image in the future?

Don't know how I missed this until now! Works great for me. I have a good bit of memory, so it loaded quickly and after I figured out how to move around a bit, didn't have any trouble at all..... very nice feature.

Bob...don't know how I missed this! I have dial up only...no frills. Didn't take long to load at all and I got the hang of it right away. I LOVE IT!! This is a great tool for us to use, Bob. Kudos to the developers! Bonnie

I spent a bit of time yesterday with Troy, and he explained why Quick Time didn't work as well. The quicktime file is enormous...basically a collection of the hundreds of photos, and it wouldn't be possible to post that on the site. This 3D rendering of the carving produces a much smaller file size.

It works great! The only thing I noticed was when rotating from front to back or vice versa that the texture looked flat or fake like a picture. I am guessing that this is because the skin is setup for the front and back separately? From the side view it looked a little thin, but I was not sure if the original carving was that way or not.

I liked being able to evaluate the techniques involved. Even after zooming in I couldn't see enough detail around the eyes, since I was wanting a closer look. Perhaps you could have a super high resolution version for broadband connections and a lower resolution version for the dial-up users?

I'm just being nit picky though, that's the computer geek in me coming out.

Hi All,

First off...Merry Christmas to ALL! Second...way cool application there Bob D. Worked just fine for me. I have a cable connection to the net which probably helps a lot!

Thanks for working so hard to keep things interesting coming from WCI!
