Troubleshooting the scanner. I've installed the software onto my laptop but there's a problem. Need the driver for a PS3 eye and find out how to change the camera from my laptop camera to the PS3 in the software.

However, my house has no flat walls or floors. Everything is textured. So I'll have to wait til I have my car in order to truly start troubleshooting. I can't bike with my laptop and delicate objects :(

Goals and Objectives
Goal: To perfect a new process for making a Latex mask by using a 3D scanner and 3D model printer while also proving the process is more efficient and less expensive.
Objectives:
Objectives:
- Create a 3D Scanner using the 3D model printer, laser pointer, and PS3 camera.
- Install the 3D scanner software
- Scan a human face
- Troubleshoot any problems with the scanning software or file translation into ZBrush.
- ZBrush model the creature face
- Create a negative model of the creature face
- Split the object into sections so that the printer may print the pieces
- Print the model
- Glue the model pieces together
- Smooth out any rough patches on the printed model
- Create a Latex positive from the printed model
- Paint the latex mask.
- Collect time and money acruwed during the process.
- Compare the time of the processes in order to evaluate which process is faster.
- Compare the cost of the processes in order to evaluate which method is cheaper.
