    1.5 Million? LOL
    Looks like that businessman is out of business for a long time...
    With less than 10% of that sum people can do a BETTER version of Michael Jackson with or without color maps.

    But I guess when it comes to famous dead people there really are people out there who would buy crap like that...

    @Bokusatsu_Tenshi: yeah...try 1%...
    scans like this are just the base - they have to be re-topologized to be usable for anything - NO ONE uses the actual scans for final work.
    oh and what kind of data are we talking about 10K points? 100K? 500K?
    1996 tech wasn't really that great for face scans - nothing like what you can get today...
    no one who does 3D professionally will buy this...

    The avatars, while cute, need more options. It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that there was a "beard" option. And, there need to be more business casual options.

    It's a cute idea, but the narration definitely feels like they're ripping off LittleBigPlanet. I only watched the first minute or so, but it's all I could think of.
