What people are saying about 3DSOM Pro
"I've found 3dsom to be an ideal tool for modeling ancient and modern ceramic vessels. The toolset is incredibly robust, and the ability to edit textures with any version of photoshop is much more useful than any '3d paint' application. In terms of content delivery, 3dsom renders buggy QTVR objects and costly laser object scans obsolete. I'm currenly digitizing hundreds of vessels, a project that would be financially impossible without 3DSOM Pro."
Doug Gann, Preservation Archaeologist, Center For Desert Archaeology, Arizona www.cdarc.com
"We've been putting 3DSOM Pro through it's paces and are truly amazed at the improvements. The models look good and need little to no user intervention. The ease of use ensures a fast time to market for our digital marketing activities."
Joost Spikema, Founder and Director, Artificial Industry, www.artificialindustry.com
"This is the most robust, usable tool we've found for silhouette-based 3D model creation."
Anatoly Dedkov, Kaon Inc., www.kaon.com
