Witchcraft? Probably Not, But Maybe

Create 3D models in seconds from a photograph, then manipulate it.

My mind was blown, this is a powerful looking tool [or at least something neat to play with]

Yeah, and if you try to use this program to manipulate them, they are also going to be two faced.

I was intrigued until they showed the problems with non-symmetric parts, like the toothpaste tube. Very little I do is symmetrical, at least after a certain point.

Also, regarding engineering use, I wonder about scaling and precision??

I've tried to use other photo modeler programs in the past and found that I'm generally faster at replicating 3D objects with standard measuring tools and my CAD system.

But, as far as replicating or creating 3D scenes, this be the bomb!!!
