Awesome work!!! this method opens many possibilities, especially creating 3D scans without having to buy extremely expensive equipment.

Try using 2 webcams to define points in space and reconstruct the object;-)

Something like this:

Anyway, great idea!

holycrap thats an awesome combination!!!
I wonder if one could randomize the displacement while it is created to achieve different effects with this,
like stirring your hands infront of the cam to achieve a vortex waterdrop like effect or just some random chaos:)

Great work, baffling result!

You should just instal Com0com and rename deafult CNCA0 and CNCB0 with COM10 and COM11. Processing send data to COM10 and Com0com send it from COM10 to COM11. Blender reads from COM11.

I wrote article about using wirtual serial ports, but just in Polish.

Really really great. However, your instructions on the site aren’t very friendly. How do you setup com0com with the webcam? I just never used com0com=P

Hi Sebastian, this project is really useful, since it will allow to “track” relative vertex positions for facial animations, which is a real pain for me, but I see this tool of yours will help me a GREAT deal. Now, I am trying to install it in an acer netbook, and though I already installed the winvdig, it stops running and says that my camera had a problem trying to link the video output to the video renderer. Could you suggest a workaround for this?

Thanks a lot for enhancing our blender experience with your cutting-edge inventions!! Please, keep them coming ;)
