Brekel, at last


Elena Marchenko + Yuri Endo 2011

My teammate and I are currently trying out as many Kinect hack apps as possible to get the " look" we are looking for our movie as we shifted our mission to mix 3D scanned images with moving imagery.

Up until last week, we had been straggling for a while to get Brekel to work in our Mac OSX 10.6.8 by using VMware Fusion , little we knew that this virtual machine does not recognize Brekel ( apparently, it perfectly works via Boot Camp, however we decided not to push it further since we both have such limited trouble shooting skills when it comes to tech issues.) and we also were using wrong version of Windows, XP ( Supposedly it works well with Windows 7)

In conclusion, we have finally succeeded in putting an end to the nightmarish struggle simply by using a friend's Windows 7 computer. Compared to RGB demo, scanning time was significantly shorter and able to capture cleaner images. Most conveniently its obj. data can be exported straight to Maya.
