It is designed to be very easy to use: - print out the calibration sheet (optionally design one yourself with nothing more complicated than MS-Paint) - place your object on it - take pictures with a handheld camera - give the computer the pictures, what calibration sheet you used, and how big the paper was you printed it on, and the output file name (currently only outputs as STL file) - Watch the blue bars - Done.

It might be worth looking at <a href="http://www.realsoftware.com/" rel="nofollow">Real Basic</a> instead: It's 90+% compatible, but it can produce Windows/Mac/Linux applications.

Of course people want to see the code. Even if I am the only people. Do you have to ask? Of course people want to see the code. Even if I am the only people.
