I found the coolest programs...ever..

During my googling I ran across two programs that would really be fun to mess with!!

They capture 3D models/meshes. Just imagine the possibilities! You know that cool looking weapon your EQ/WoW/Guild Wars character has but can't find a matching 3D model... well BAM!!! Now you can have THE actual model! Heck you can get the actual 3D model of your character or any cool zone in the games.

I think I just had an orgasm.

Obviously game models are copyrighted and it would be a no-no to capture them and try to make money off of them, but I don't think there would be any issue using the models for personal/non-profit art?

Dangit.. I wish my PC hadn't crashed and I lost everything. I need to hurry and install my art stuff again! I want to see if either of those programs work!
