Stand-alone motion-control and
image-capturing software for capturing
images from a video feed and sending these to user-selected folder. The images
are grabbed on the fly, i.e., while the turn table is moving. This allows the
user to film objects in much less time than previously possible. The software
works with Nikon Capture and the Nikon D1 as well as with other digital capture
programs for automatically triggering cameras. A still camera (digital or film)
with an electric cable release can also be used for automatic capture.
The images created using this application can be subsequently
formatted into an object movie using software such as QTVRŽ Authoring Studios
(sold separately).
