We demonstrate a process for capturing human subjects and generating digital characters
from those models using commodity scanning hardware. Our process is capable of
capturing a human subject using still four poses, constructing a 3D model, then registering it
and controlling it within an animation system within minutes. The digital representation that
our process is able to construct is suitable for use in simulations, games and other
applications that use virtual characters. Our technique is able to model many dynamic …
