Maybe call it a controller, but it's hardly any form of synthesizer. Fuck that guy.

VideoTrace - 3D modelling using real video


Re: Neat stuff (non-lulz but interesting things) - A. Crow - 08-23-2009

it doesn't say anything about skinning from the video though.

I think it automatically skins it with whatever you are tracing over.

They make no specific statements about the textures, other that "The model can be rendered using texture maps obtained from frames of the video." They may be relying on additional products to perform that task.

If it was taking it right off the video feed, wouldn't the model look like shit if you got close to it (texture not high-res) ?

The sound effects and whatnot are annoying but I still found it fascinating that the monkey was anticipating the result and when it did not happen was trying to discover the reason why it didn't happen.
