    HO-LEE... Wow, I need a change of pants. Please please please, release any info you get on this program, guys. If that thing pulls the texture as it models like it appears to, then I'll pay pretty well any price for it.

    This was developed by The Australian Centre For Visual Technologies. It's currently a prototype and they are working towards a full beta and then commercially releasing it. For anybody who's a programmer or technically inclined, you can download a research paper about this from http://www.acvt.com.au/research/videotrace/Siggraph07-van_den_hengel.pdf

    Weker1: It probably isn't as good on people. They didn't demonstrate it on any organic objects, which have a different geometry to them.

    All for only the price of 20,000$!
