hey this is Kevin blender binge today I
want to show you something really
awesome let's write it awesome you see
this pool table it took me two minutes
to make two minutes if I'd spent five to
ten minutes it would probably be better
but this video wouldn't take longer to
make I did it on my iPad I could have
used my phone but I have an iPhone 6 and
I still love it but if you have a modern
phone this is gonna change your life or
maybe just give you something cool to do
while you're making other plans if you
know the essence of that quote drop me a
comment I'd be really impressed now this
pool table I went to a friend's building
and scanned this thing using my iPad and
an app called display dot land I'm sure
you've seen a couple of videos on this
already but seriously I probably would
have done this video even if they didn't
reach out to me and asked to sponsor
this video which is why you see no ads
on it at the beginning middle or end
let's get into it I downloaded the app
from the link into the description I
went to work scanning this pool table I
went around and around and around it
then I got tired it should have gotten
more and you'll see why in a minute
after getting dizzy and tired I was able
to capture many many points in this app
the more points you see the better your
scan will be later on once I finished I
hit send to what displayed Outland
servers do their magic with the data
once it was finished I hit published and
opted to download the model it sends you
a link and when you click on it you
begin to download the dot zip file with
your model and texture in it you'll want
to hit Send on your phone or tablet and
download this thing on your PC it's
important as most of the digital content
creation apps are on your computer not
your phone I then open the zip file
after scanning it and brought the obj
file into blender it's scanned the whole
room wow that's awesome I just wanted
the pool table in this case but cool I
mean you can totally use this for like
video game levels or
sets or whatever you want pretty nice so
after deleting a few things i isolated
the pool table here it is in blender I
save this out as an FBX and here it
isn't unreal here it is in Houdini here
it is melting in Houdini because you
know Houdini we're all three D goes to
melt you can use the scan data anywhere
max cinema 4d Lite WAV you Terrigen
anywhere that imports any type of 3d
data now some drawbacks you can't use
this on an iPhone 6 as I found out
immediately you'll need a more modern
phone if you have a modern iPad like in
the last couple of years you're good to
go
probably on Android as well I've seen
many people complain
about this but really you're able to
scan live 3d data as in take real-world
stuff and make it 3d and clean it up and
I like I don't know do some cool stuff
with it so I'm happy they put this out
there for free I have no idea how
they're gonna make money with this in
the future but they just got Series B
funding so they seem to be in it for a
while the other caveat is that they want
you to create a profile with an email
address they also want you to add geo
data to your scans initially this was a
kind of a big red flag for me but after
speaking with them you can turn off that
feature on upload and you can keep your
data private I also read through their
entire privacy policy and it seems like
they do care about privacy and take it
seriously I verified to the best of my
knowledge that you can in fact keep this
private and not include geo data which
is a big plus for me now if you want to
include geo data you'll be helping them
build deal with if you don't know what
that is it's from a book in a movie that
rhyme with steady lair fun find it it's
awesome and if this company ubiquity 6
is aiming for that I'm fully behind
their mission take a look at this app
grab it and try it you can scan things
in the real world and even if the data
is Jaggi right now you can read to
pologize
or use it as a modeling template or
background props in your films
I'm personally psyched about this as
I've seen $100,000 cameras used for this
at work and now you can do this on your
modern smartphones or tablets it's
pretty awesome
one last thing the UV layouts kind of
suck on this I'll be experimenting and
figuring out a way to use the UV data on
cleaned up objects or hopefully they
will I know they're watching this video
so I can see it coming there have been a
couple of these apps over the years but
this group impresses me and I have a
feeling that they will push VR AR an
interactive content to the next level
I'm not even trying to get a job with
them I'm just psyched about what I see
this thing can go with that try it out
for yourself
scan some crazy stuff and realize that
the future is here - the hoverboards
darn it I want a hoverboard see you
