If anyone is interested, this is something I put together using several photos I took and where I used them.
I wanted to create a more practical example of what can be done in a relatively short time.
I used the depth images created in PhotoSculpt as masks in 3DC.
Warning: The second attached image is pretty large.

Beautiful 3DArtist! And quite well neatly presented too!

To all others, notice that the PhotoSculpt Challenge has started again. See www.photosculpt.net for more info ?

Awesome generosity & cool act & bloody well executed too.
Big Karma points man!!!

Hippolyte why don't you use that for marketing and throw some $$$ in 3DArtists direction. And sign him up on your new marketing team too.

Did this ever get released? I submitted my email a while back for the 50% off deal, but never heard from them?

Hi 3DCoatWannabe, I'm sorry if you didn't received the 50%off deal. Can you forward all related emails to info@photosculpt.net ? I'll check into that for you.

Ok, I just sent an email to you with '3dCoatWannabe' in the subject. Hopefully it's not getting blocked for some reason?

BTW - it's been months since I thought about this, and I've lost track of what's happening with the product.

Would anyone who has purchased this neat tool chime in with your experiences?

Has it met expectations?

Hello guys!

I've just scanned the article from Ed Ricketts last month in the 3D World magazine !
He's reviewing PhotoSculpt Textures for the first time.
And the article is really good and professional!

Free 3D textures samples anyone? I've droped some that I created using Photosculpt Textures.

PhotoSculpt could be an invaluable companion application for 3D-Coat. Especially since it exports a model, in addition to the texture maps. However, a complete union of the two programs would require some tweaking on the part of either of their programming staffs.

But, as it exists today, PhotoSculpt models could be imported for AUTOPO or just imported as a basis to start sculpting in voxel space, and taken to a production ready model very quickly in 3D-Coat.

As was displayed in their video that dealt with an actual human sculpture, it can be observed that the profile proportions, (as seen in the nose profile), are not totally accurate. This is where 3D-Coat voxel sculpting could quickly correct and improve upon these deficiencies. Once corrected, running AUTOPO, merging into the scene with Ptex, adding texture maps and other original texture features - then rendering a still or turntable animation would produce a finished product in record time. Really interesting.

Thanks Greg for sharing this very interresting technical point of view.

Burning Question to all 3D Coat users:
I'm thinking of an additional other use of Photosculpt, it's for creating some texture tool for 3D coat.

Like the Photoshop stamp tool for image only, I was thinking of a stamp tool for image + depth.

Furthermore I'm thinking of having it Rotatable and tiltable. I'm the lucky owner of an intuos wacom tablet + the so called 6D art pen (full degrees of freedom inclusive rotation) I would love to see that implemented.

Photosculpt textures provides depth map so it would be easy to use this map as sculpt tool.

What do you think?

[wailingmonkey]

Hippolyte...sounds intriguing and could have great potential! I would think the toughest part would be
creating high-quality masking (the photographer could have some means of helping in this regard with how
they took the initial picture---background color choice, for instance) such that the stamps were clearly
'removed' from the photo's background. I would imagine some additional means/tools to control the mask
placement itself would probably be handy to have for the user.
