At US$150, the Kinect camera is the world’s first home 3D scanner, but the point clouds it records aren’t immediately usable in 3D animation programs like Maya. Fortunately, MeshLab, a free utility for Windows, Mac, and Linux, can convert the point cloud into a mesh that you can work with. (Based on this video tutorial by Kyle McDonald and Jason van Cleave.)

I’m curious to find out what blog platform you have been working with?
I’m experiencing some small security issues with my
latest website and I would like to find something more safe.
Do you have any recommendations?
