A sound concept, and it obviously works... But the actual construction is probably beyond me. Well, the specifics are. I'm sure I could get the materials together. Getting them together and having them work is a whole different thing.

@xalener You could probably make one! it's just a magnetic field. The wand likely contains two poles; the orientation of which determines the 'normal' direction at that point. One pole indicates the position in 3D space. Software would detect the change in charge in the field and plots the point and normal in 3D space.

No, I mean like with a pen on an object. It seems like a cheaper form of 3d scanning than the laser stuff that's in the industry. I've seen something like it used in some big projects. I wonder if a homebuild of a tool like that is possible.

@xalener Yep! Most 3D programs have patch tools. Try out the free program sPatch.

That's actually a really damn cool way to model. Do they sell anything like that nowadays?

@sadalite It WAS in its infancy considering what could be achieved using CGI in those days and what's possible now. It doesn't matter if CGI was already there in the 1960s, between the 60s and the 80s not much happened, CGI was scarcely used in the movies or elsewhere and they were still producing these unsophisticated animations. Of course I'm not saying there was no progress or it wasn't an important time, but look how fast things progressed in the 90s and where we are now.

Thank you for posting this, however, CGI was hardly in its infancy in 1987, despite what Alvy Smith says in this video. All the way back in the 1960's CGI was being realized in different ways, and by 1972, very impressive hi-res graphics were possible. look up youtube member "VintageCG". He has alot of early CG videos dating back to the 1960's

Thanks for posting this, really takes me back. It's interesting to see just how far we've come since this 'cutting edge' tech in the late 80's. Superb.
