I'm using the Logitech 9000 camera on win8 64bit system

here is a 7" high 14" wide 2" high cutout in a half log

roughed with a 1/2 ball and semi finished with a 1/4 ball
1" depth of cuts on the 1/2 ball (2 passes)
.1" on 1/4' cutter (1 pass)
about 5 hours to rough it out.
6 hours 40 minutes final cut .015" ball 15 degree conical end mill (.005" step over and .005" step down)

Hey Art, I know it's early, and i understand you have a lot to be added to Gearotic but I wonder if you also have plans to import images to Stereo Photometric so you could take pictures without a computer also.
I thought if you build a camera with associated light sources that are taken sequentially something like this example http://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/physics/research/groups/optics/research/creativecameras/

Christer:

  Yes, I think in the fall Ill add the capability to
a) Save the shots youve taken for reprocessing and load them back. This means you could take images any way you wish.
b) Trigger lights if you wish at the right time for brighter input.

Hi All:

2.2984 is online, sorry for the spamming of new versions. I noticed the program seemed slow.. my bad, when I implemented the coordinates
on the ribbonbar instead of the status line I failed to notice the huge amount of display time lost. My ststem is fairly quick, so it wasnt as noticeable as on my secondary system.
  Youll notice a 300% speed increase on 3d model displays while rotating and in the 4th axis section and such with this version.

sorry for the spamming of new versions.

As a long term spam fighter, real spam is unsolicited commercial email, and usually extended to include the equivalent in forums, etc.  You're no spammer  :)  Besides we like more new versions in the moosecave.  I just read that productivity goes down if you work over 50 hours a week, so don't forget that vacationing...

2983 had all my M$ LifeCam Cinema resolutions back.  Didn't notice any speed problems, but it's a decently quick machine.  Latest downloading.

The resolutions were there in 2984, with various permutations of 3 ones and zeros after them.  The quick shot I tried generated an stl.

With 2985 they're gone again, and it's back to 640x480.

Here. 2.2984 showed all resolution and doubled up.
2.2985 shows single resolutions now no higher the 1280X720 which isn't any problem just mentioning it.

Loaded 2.2985. I can see no differences.  However I am still having problems going back to taking another set of photos.  I select the camera and click on video sampling on and the camera frame come on with a still image.  The only way to get a moving image is to reboot Gearotic.  On occasion I also must reboot the computer.

I take back the no noticeable differences statement.  The iterations are much faster as you get to the higher number of iterations.

Hi All:

Well, the problem appears to be the video format. I wrotem it for RGB, but it seems some have only YUY2 or better. So
version 2.2986 is completely changed to YUY2 format. All my camera work with this, Im hoping it solves all the issues
as I think YUY2 is at this point pretty standard.

Let me know how it goes..

Thx
