[comp.graphics] Creating 3D Data for objects

thamer@gecko.cis.ohio-state.edu (M T ) (12/15/90)

What's the best way to generate 3D data for a real world object that
you can hold in your hand.  Then the data could be used for 3D rendering
programs or whatever.  Can this be done accurately with cameras, or some
tracing device ?  What's the cost of such techniques.

	Thanks for any info ,
