You're just going to make us suffer all summer waiting for it, aren't you? 

Do you need a particular model webcam?  Need to order one up before the mad rush.

Hi Kirk:

lol.. no, Ill probably release a beta of it in a week or two , then leave it till fall to add more features.

So far, two have run it, both webcams have worked, one was a microsoft life-cam, cant recall the other one..
YaNvrNo tried it out, Ill check to see what his was..

But heres  another teaser photo. Three items, 2 of them are "innies", one is an "outie". The innies show 3d hologram effects and are very erie..
the outtie is just a nice 3d sculpture..

Art

edit:  Camera shots just dont do them justice, the innies work with shadows, the camera is too good at killing shadow..

Looks like you're having lots of fun, Art... and it usually means good things are going to happen and we are going to have some nice new toys soon...

Dan

I think youll like it. Its more fun than most of the modules, and while it has nothing to do with gears,
it will be a worthwhile addition to decorate things like pendulums. I printed my eyeball last night to
see if an eyeball pendulum would look good.

Please god, someone take that webcam away from him...lol


;D

Ordered an autofocus lifecam, all the existing ones here are in use; did you know there's over 3000 different webcams on Amazon?

While you could build a case for using a man-made imaging device to copy a woman-made imaging device, I think I'll pass on copying my eyeball...
