Build a Rotisserie Scanner With Legos

WalkingBear writes "All you 3d geeks out there should take a look at this. This guy has built a 3d scanner (scans 3d objects resulting in a 2d cylindrical image map) out of a flat bed scanner and Lego. Also has a turntable style for use with digital cameras."

This user has no right to alter the use of this scanner in such a manner without a license. I will be informing the proper authorities of this illegal violation - Cmdr Taco

And I think he also needs a license from Lego to create a derivative work with their blocks.

Impressive. Next project?

I'm impressed. He built a very cool system. I'd be more impressed if he could devise a means in which his web page displayed in the fullness of my browser, instead of being limited to a tiny window in the center. I'm telling you, once someone conquers the "fit to window" problem this World Wide Web thing is really going to take off. Mark my words, someone will make money off it.

Imagine what this could do for game skinners. Now using an old scanner and some legos you can easily skin in your own face to UT2k3 and other games.

Wouldn't the step where you have to sever your head and rubber-band it to the Lego rotisserie going to discourage all but the most hard-core game skinners? ;-)

I'll take your word for it. My cat absolutely refuses to get in it.
