An update to Project Memento

I've talked about this tool – which was developed by my good friend and colleague Murali Pappoppula and his team – a number of times in the past. I'm really enjoying seeing it mature, over time.

This latest version has the capability to send photos directly to the Photo on ReCap 360 web-service, letting you pull the mesh down directly into Memento. Presumably it makes use of the new API that we have a number of ADN members piloting, right now.

Here's a demo of the capabilities, taking you through from photo import to 3D printing:

And here's a more detailed description of the improvements in this release (you need an Autodesk account to log in to the Beta site to access this, as it's currently an Autodesk Labs technology preview). If you haven't already joined the project, you can sign up here. And once you've signed up, go to Resources to download the latest update.

Give it a try and let us know what you think!

    Momento is damn clever. I just wish there was an orthographic view, so you can set the z axis, look at the side elevation, then use the cut tools to hack off the bottom and close it up ready for 3D printing.

    With perspective, it's far too hard, you can easily slice the bottom off at a funny angle and end up with the leaning tower of Pisa. Other than that, I love the tool.
