As you know I am a huge Project Photofly freak as the technology to capture photos from a digital camera and transform them in to 3D models is a game changer. There are several solutions out there but nothing comes even close to the free technology Project Photofly preview hosted on Autodesk Labs. You can take photos using your point and shoot camera or DSLR then upload in Project Photofly and you get a 3D textured model and that can be exported to many industry formats or even a video to YouTube.
I was one of the people that was eligible for a phone upgrade and brought down the Internet with preordering the iPhone 4S. The iPhone 4S has all new optics and the best on a mobile device. Were the all new camera optics the main reason I was upgrading my iPhone 4 to the 4S, without question.
The photos this iPhone 4S captures are quit remarkable. I used testing it as an excuse to go fishing in the high Uinta mountains Mirror Lake.
So naturally one of the first things I was gong to do besides talking to Siri was take some photos and see how well they worked to generate 3D models in Photofly.

The results were nothing less than awesome.
I just created a quick image showing the statue I photographed with my iPhone 4S and then automatically it generated without any manual intervention a 3D? model. This took minutes and even though I am a 3D modeling ninja, there is no way I could accurately to scale this statue complete as a mesh with textures any other way.
I also created an automatic video to YouTube using the automatically generate camera path option. I could have manually defined the key frames but I wanted a fully automatic from photo to 3D model.

My team in Autodesk Labs is planning to update Photofly into another level of awesomeness, soon.
Now I need to get back to preparing for Autodesk University which is only 37 days from now. Only so many late nights remain.
