The Portable Objectmaker™ |
- For filming objects up to a sphere 3’ in diameter
- Structure measures 27deep x 4’ wide x 4’ high
- Swing arms are 4’ long
- Six leveling feet for use on a slightly irregular surface
- Structure made from two 2 x 2 x 43 T-slotted aluminum posts supported by a 12 x 48 rectangular frame constructed of 1 x 2 T-slotted aluminum
- Comes with heavy-duty shipping case.
- Motor and controls: 2 amp two-phase 36:1 stepper gear motors (a motor on each leg of the camera swing arm provides the necessary strength and stability for a precise and repeatable shoot).
- 1/5 pitch timing-belt drive train with gear ratio of 5:1 for a total gear ratio of 180:1
- Dual-axis controller/driver.
- Motion-control and image-capturing software captures images from a video feed and sends them to a user-selected folder. The images can be grabbed on the fly, i.e., while the turntable 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 third-party software such as QTVR® Authoring Studios or VRToolworx.
