Fidget's drawing for Daddy blogged here: sewsitall.blogspot.com/2013/01/fidgets-drawing-for-daddy....
This hand-crafted wooden sculpture was bought at a flea market in Gothenburg, Sweden. We thought that it would be a perfect test for the MakerBot Digitizer now that it has MultiScan feature.
The image above shows a typical scan result made with MakerWare for Digitizer 2.3 (a single pass) and one that shows the result of a MultiScan session made with four passes.
One of the STL files represents the raw MultiScan result and the other is the result with some simple tweaks in Autodesk MeshMixer.

This book of English heraldry was completed ca. 1589. The manuscript belonged to the Spencer family, as known through inscriptions on the first few flyleaves, including the motto "Dieu defende Le Droit" (God defends the right). This motto has long been associated with the Spencer family of England, which is the family line of Princess Diana, as well as the Spencers who were among the founders of Virginia. The Spencer family's heraldry is included in the manuscript, along with the coats of arms of numerous prominent British families, including the Hasting, Gray, Beuford, and Percye families. There is another similar book of English Heraldry in the British Library, Stowe MS 693, which was also completed at the end of the sixteenth century.

Digitization changes family history, but still need for non-digital
Loretto Szucs was her own search engine back in 1985.
She interviewed relatives. She wrote letters because phone calls and photocopies were too expensive. She rented a microfilm reader, scanned through reel after reel of census records and even enlisted the help of her children -- giving them a quarter for every family name they found.
"A lot of writing, a lot of patience, interviewing anyone who would even know my family," she described.
Today, computer search engines pull family names out of the air.
As Szucs and some of the country's most ardent genealogists gathered in Salt Lake City from April 28 to May 1, Internet connections in and around the Salt Palace Convention Center were buzzing with family history activity.
A lot has changed since the National Genealogical Society last convened its annual conference in Salt Lake City 25 years ago. Online resources have taken years off genealogical research. Researchers, meanwhile, are getting started years earlier.
"They can learn and find in five years what it took me 30," said Jan Alpert, president of NGS
But be careful not to neglect good old-fashion research methods, she warns.
"If they think it's all on the Internet, they won't find as much as I found."
For longtime genealogists like Alpert and Szucs, family history work began with letter-writing to places like churches and vital records offices -- then waiting for clues. Szucs, now an executive editor for www,Ancestry.com got her big break when an order of nuns she wrote to in New York City sent back information about her aunt.
"Then I had a place to start and I could carry on," Szucs said.
That led her to the 1850 census for New York City, made up of 54 reels of microfilm -- each taking three hours to go through.
Barbara Vines Little was a little more fortunate. Her ancestors were from a less metropolitan area in Virginia.
"You were delighted if you ancestors were from the country because then you only had a county to look through -- page by page, and line by line," said Little, NGS board member and past president. "It was a labor-intensive process because you had none of this instant access."
For Little, research often meant leaving town for Salt Lake City, where the LDS Church archives are; Washington, D.C., home of the National Archives; or Ft. Wayne, Ind., which has a large family history library.
"Most people had to wait until they retired before they could do their family history, so they'd have time to travel," Little said. "Today, you can do it with a great deal of ease."
Online databases and search engines have altered the landscape. Szucs' company, Ancestry.com, and FamilySearch, a nonprofit division of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, have digitized large volumes of records and made them available on the Internet.
With today's technology, researchers can build online family trees and supplement them with photos and scanned documents. Websites and software offer research helps.
Message boards and social media sites connect researchers.
The "bells and whistles" of technology are appealing to youths, Alpert says. She hopes people become interested in genealogy at a younger age, seek out relatives, and share stories and photographs via e-mail or Facebook -- before they are lost.
"This used to be a gray-hair organization, because you either didn't have time to do (genealogy) until you retired, or you weren't interested in it until you retired," Alpert said. "Now because of the Internet, people can dabble in it with little spare time."
But it's important to realize, the genealogists say, that digitization is an ongoing process and that the bulk of records aren't searchable online.
Szucs once worked at the National Archives and saw stacks of records that "go on and on and on.
"There's a lifetime of digitization to be done," she said.
Vital records, such as birth certificates, are under state jurisdiction, and most aren't digitized -- in part because of privacy concerns.
Genealogists, however, see tremendous progress being made in the digitization effort. Szucs credits a collaborative network that includes commercial and nonprofit efforts; state and county governments; and everything from the Library of Congress to local genealogical societies.
"It's just a beautiful network," she said. "And that's something that I realized even in 1985."
Alpert hopes one other aspect of family history work won't be phased out.
She remembers visiting a tiny town in Ohio and standing in the very church her ancestors once attended. Alpert wants people to recognize the value in going back to the places one came from.
"I hope that doesn't change," she said.

What I use for digitizing film without a dedicated scanner:
Nikon D800E with Kirk L-Bracket
60mm AF-S micro
Novoflex Castel-L focusing rack with Wimberley C-12 clamp
Medalight light panel
Silvestri 4x Loup
6 coins
8 pieces of Lego
Not pictured: Gitzo 3540LS and Induro BHL3; bubble level
The Lego and coins are used to weigh down the sides of the film to prevent curl. This works well for 35mm (inc. XPan) and for 5x4 (and presumably 120).
Once you have the focus locked in for a specific film type, you can work quite quickly. For 5x4 I take 4 shots and stitch.
Update: I now use 200mm macro for 35mm (when I shoot it) and 85 tilt-shift for 120, and have a slightly more user-friendly lego frame. At minimum focusing distance the 85PC-E, in 5x4 crop mode, has a frame width of just under 6cm, so this is perfect for working with 6x6 and 6x7; using a stitch of two shifted frames makes digitising 120 film really easy.
This gravesite was in Boot Hill Cemetery in Idaho City which was founded in 1862 during the Boise Basin gold rush. Shot with Nikon F + 50 mm. f/2 using Kodachrome 64.
Time lapse of digitizing a set of very large paintings made as tapestry designs by artist Mark Adams. The pieces were extremely difficult to handle due to their large size, flaking paint, and brittle paper. As you can see it took up to 6 people to manipulate each painting. The painting was moved along the ground underneath a fixed camera to capture multiple image tiles which will later be stitched together to produce a complete image. Joint effort by the digitization team of Stanford University Libraries and Conservation.
Straight from camera, no manipulation.
Yes, this is a picture of fireworks!
I often see people taking pictures of fireworks with tripods, and I've seen many beautiful shots taken this way. Often they feature striking local architecture.
But I'm always trying to figure out ways to take pictures that nobody else has done yet (or that I've seen).
So I spin the camera, zoom in and/or out, and use Rosco Color filter strips selectively.

Digitization doesn’t change our world but it does, however, radically change
HOW and WHAT we can or must deal with in this world.
In Year 2 of the Covid pandemic, Ars Electronica is presenting itself as a worldwide platform for highly engaged people who see the future, not through the tech companies' crystal ball, but as the responsibility of our time, a responsibility they are willing to accept. Ars Electronica 2021 will be a hybrid event taking place from September 8 - 12 in Linz, and at more than 100 locations around the world.
