Here is a picture of our version 2 scanner program. It uses the USB port to send step and direction signals to a stepper motor. The video camera is synced to the motor and grabs frames as the turntable rotates. A firewire connection to a video camera controls the frames that are grabbed. The scan took about 2 minutes and was NOT done at the finest resolution. I used 600 frames for this but could have gotten more detail at 1000 frames. If anyone want to see the whole thing as it ratates I can email you a copy if you have a viewer such as meshlab. Meshlab does show it as well but you get the idea.
