Use Your Xbox 360 and Kinect To Create 3D Figures of Yourself With Shapify.me

Artec Group has announced the launch of the first ever 3D-scanning and printing service available at home. The company is utilizing the power of Microsoft Kinect and the Xbox 360 to allow users to scan themselves, upload their photos to Shapify.me website and enjoy their own 3D figurine. Read on to learn more.

From the Press Release
Artec Group has launched the first 3D-scanning and printing service available at home. Artec has announced a new, very cool cloning service for people with Microsoft Kinect for Windows or Kinect for Xbox 360 equipment. Kinect users can individually scan themselves, friends and family, upload the scan to the Shapify.me website (http://www.shapify.me/) and receive a 3D figurine sent to their address. This isn’t a 3D image – it’s a solid, 3D figurine, like a miniature statue – looking just like you, only smaller.

Your clone figurine in monochrome or color is 1/20th your actual height. It’s made of either white or multicolored plastic material and, if you are so inclined you can use your artistic skills to paint it. Give family clones to Dad and he can keep his mini-family on his desk. And you can order multiple figurines – to share with friends or as really unusual Holiday gifts.

3D Scanning has never been as easy as with Shapify: just follow simple voice instructions to scan yourself in several minutes and to upload the 3D scan of yourself to our printshop. Your clone figurine in monochrome or color which is 1/20th of your actual height will be delivered to your home in several days.

Some Cool Cloning Ideas

Some cool cloning ideas include scanning your kids to make a gift for grandmother, or create your most unusual set of Christmas tree toys, or make a lineup of all your sports teammates … whatever you choose. It’s only limited by the imagination and is now available from your home. Way more hip than just another photo . . .

It’s Not Rocket Science

 All you need is Microsoft Kinect

You need to have a Microsoft Kinect for either Xbox 360 or Windows and a PC computer. You need the following to scan yourself using Shapify.me:

  • Microsoft Kinect for XBOX 360 or Microsoft Kinect for Windows
  • Windows 7 x 64 bit or Windows 8
  • Intel Core I3 or later with at least 4 GB RAM
  • Audio Speakers
  • USB 2.0
  • And, of course, an Internet connection.

 Free delivery to the United States and all European countries

 Artec3d, Shapify.me will also ship your figurine anywhere in the world. Prices start at $59 with free delivery to the USA and Europe which is unheard of for 3D printed figurines. Delivery services to other countries are planned and will soon be available worldwide. All the details on ordering are on the FAQ page at Shapify.me. Join the 3D revolution!

Master Your Aim: Why Every FPS Gamer Needs a Mouse Sensitivity Converter

Say goodbye to floaty aiming and missed flick shots. Here is how math—and a simple tool—can keep your muscle memory razor-sharp across every shooter you play. Whether you are dropping into Valorant for a quick competitive match, warming up in Counter-Strike 2 , or grinding ranked in Apex Legends , every FPS player shares a common goal: hitting shots with absolute precision .

The problem isn't your mouse, your mousepad, or your skill. The problem is that in-game sensitivity numbers are completely different across game engines . A 1.0 sensitivity in Valorant is dramatically faster than a 1.0 in CS2 or Apex Legends . "Your arm muscles don't learn slider numbers—they learn physical distance on your mousepad. Converting your sensitivity protects hours of built...

Blood, Salt, and Unconditional Love: Why Sam and Dean Winchester Transcended Television

When Supernatural debuted on television screens back in 2005, it posed as a gritty, urban-legend-of-the-week horror show. Two brothers in a black 1967 Chevy Impala riding down dark American backroads, hunting ghosts, wendigos, and demons. But as the seasons turned into a fifteen-year legacy, viewers realized the monsters were never the main plot. The true heartbeat of the show was an intense, unwavering bond between two brothers willing to tear down heaven and earth for each other. "There is no me without you. I'm telling you, raised by a hunter, lived like one my whole life... I wouldn't trade it for anything. But if it means losing you? I can't do it." — Dean Winchester More Than Fighting Evil: The Connection We Long For In a world built on fleeting relationships, social media connections, and conditional dynamics, Sam and Dean offered something modern humanity rarely glimpses: absolute, radical devotion .
