"Trimensional… is this week’s Best Thing Ever, without a doubt. It’s one of those photography apps that stands out against all the rest because it’s so different." -Cult of Mac

"It actually works amazingly well… this really is a 3-D object scanner for the iPhone." -FastCompany

"This is the most innovative mobile phone application I have ever seen to date. Absolutely brilliant." -M. Brooks, App Store User Review

Trimensional uses both the screen and the front-facing camera on your iOS device, detecting patterns of light reflected off your face to build a true 3D model.

Not only is it incredible technology, but its incredibly fun! Capture goofy expressions, view your face from any angle, and customize the look of the 3D rendering before sending it off to all of your friends.

Features:
-Capture your own 3D scans
-Browse your 3D scan library
-Rotate and zoom your 3D models
-Pick from 6 different 3D rendering modes
-View a 3D slideshow
-Email images, movies, & animated GIFs to friends
-Save images to camera roll for posting to the web

Features for Advanced Users:
-3D Model Export (In-App Purchase): Export any scan as an OBJ, STL, or PLY file via email, with optional mesh smoothing. OBJ: texture-mapped polygonal model compatible with Maya, Blender, and most other 3D software packages, STL: watertight geometry suitable for 3D printing, PLY: point cloud with position (XYZ) and color (RGB) information per vertex.

So, turn out the lights and get ready for your close-up as you capture 3D scans using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. For best results, an extremely dark room is required.

Pros and cons of Trimensional app for iPhone and iPad

Trimensional app good for

Its not perfect, but still it is quite amazing what it can do with a simple 2D camera and the light from the screen.
The 3d scan app is amazing. Right now is cool and basic but once they include 3d file export it will become a must use tool for designers and artists. One thing they should develop further is the use of the camera and how it captures points. Fine tuning.
You have a breakthrough here, nothing else qutie like it. Bought the app because I hope you will continue to fine-tune the scanning process and come out with clearer scans. If you continue to work on this app you will have a winner. Quite amusing too haha.
People upset by the $5 export cost can buy Photomodeler Scanner for the low low cost of $4000
Amazing! Not the best mesh, but a great base mesh, import the mesh into Z-brush, smooth and bring back missing features.... Great work! Keep developing
Loved it as a toy and cant wait to get the update so i can re love it in blender

Some bad moments

This app is not worth a penny. Does nothing worth. Cant use the main câmera. Cant br used for amything worth. Dont waste your money, buying this cappy app
This is a cool idea but it barely works. The scans are crap. It should be free until they actually perfect it. Dont bother. Save your buck.
Horrible scans no where near what is advertise i tryed it a 100 times every scan is worst then the other... DO NOT BUY
Well, I wish this was a free app. The scans were not refined. Everytime I try there is a bulge on my face like the guy from the screenshot. I tried this on my 4th iPod touch. I am looking forward to see improvement.
Im going to give this app 1 star instead of none, because it definitely IS an innovative app. Although this doesnt change the fact that it is utterly useless and a waste of $0.99 you could spend on something fun or useful. That is, of course, unless you enjoy wasting your time making incredibly choppy and unrealistic 180 degree 3D models of things. Which, I must add, are so horribly rendered they are of absolutely no use for anything. All this aside... Kudos to the developers for thinking outside the box, and I hope someone can find a cool use for this technology! Because, unfortunately... This is not it. Dont waste your time/money, I deleted it 5 minutes after installing it.
At the time I paid for this app the seller had NO information in iTunes or on their web site to say this app is for 4th generation iPhones only. After I complained, they added the info, but did not refund me.
