awesome. I'll never have to model annything, I can just scan my face and import it into a 3D editor.

That's really cool, but i'm betting it's not gonna cost your usual $395.95 right off the bat.

I'm not stoked about getting one. Printing and re-filling will probably cost more than my current printer each.

i went to a maya show and they had something where it was like a price scanner and it made it into a 3d model...i guess thats kinda like this.

it's only 150 euro so that's about 180 dollars now,
