While the simple anthropometric pose gives the best results, Cyberware designed the WB4 to handle many different poses for a wide range of applications. These dimensions accommodate the vast majority of the human population. For even larger subjects, software enables the user to combine two or more scans quickly into a complete 3D color model. Color information in 3D digitizing makes available nearly all the information a graphics application needs to fully describe an object. In addition to enhancing realism in graphic models, color denotes boundaries that are not obvious from shape alone.
Color indicates surface texture and reflectance.
And by marking an object's surface before digitizing, one can use color to transfer ideas from the object to the graphic model. Animators, anthropologists, and fashion designers can obtain accurate measurements and realistic alternatives to oversimplified or stylized forms with the Cyberware Whole Body Color 3D Scanner. This software has been designed to give even non-technical users a quick and easy way to capture the shape of a subject. The software includes tools for automatically aligning and merging scans to create complete 3D models, and tools for editing, modifying, and measuring scanned objects. Graphics tools let the user view the scanned model within seconds after completing a scan.
