photos of a scene or an object and open them in the program. Then mark each photo with the mouse, tracing and tagging
features of interest.

points, lines, or polygons in a single, unified 3D space. 3D points, 3D lines, surface meshes, and cylinders are
created and may be exported in DXF, 3DS, and VRML formats. And, this is really neat: Photo-derived textures are
