I recently got 3D scanned by Marcus at Punkoffice.
It’s a process called ‘photogrammetry’ which is similar to creating a panoramic picture out of multiple photos, but in 3D space. To make it happen, over 80 cameras set up in a 360 rig take a photograph simultaneously. The images are then converted into a 3D model, polished and optimised for the web. My Avatar could then be rigged up, and uploaded into a virtual world/game.
Beam me up scotty.

DIY 3D scanning rig, built from scratch by Marcus at Punk Office.
The 3D model is created with over eighty DSLR images captured simultaneously.
The images are stitched together in a program called Photoscan.
Me 2D
Detail is fairly cray.
