Attached Link: David Laserscanner

David is a software for 3D-Scanning. Exept for the software (which is free in the basic version and costs not even €50 in the full version) you need a line laser and a webcam. Details can be seen on the website. Line laser modules are cheap in a tool store - simple versions can be bought here for less than €15.

Give it a try - i managed to scan two toy animals from my kids, without much problems.

whoa! not bad! thx fr the link.

Wonder if you could scan a live figure with this as well?  (If they could hold still long enough that is)

We are 3D after all. :)

heh, is this a really stupid question? Probably. :)

I cannot show my own scans, since they were lost in my harddisk crash two weeks ago. I did not loose much, but the scans weren't backuped. But they have a gallery on the site, you can see what users are doing with the software.

Doing full body scans should be possible, if you manage to get a printout of the calibration graphic that big and have someone who don't move while scanning. In the gallery on the linked site is a picture of the upper body part of a display dummy, so the size would not be the problem.
