3-D scanning technique recreates stroke-perfect Van Goghs

Have you always wanted a Van Gogh in your living room, but never seem to have a spare $20 million to pick one up? A new technique from Fujifilm could give you the next best thing: a 3-D printed reproduction almost indistinguishable from the original.

It's called Reliefography, and it works by combining traditional high-quality photography with 3-D scanning and printing. The photography captures the look of the painting, while the 3-D scanner gets up close and personal, recording the subtlest changes in the thickness of the paint.

Those 3D printers are pretty amazing ... you really do raelise you're living in the 21st C when you see what they can do!

I read somewhere recently that one can create a working firearm! If true then ....Frightening!

This is true about the gun. The technology is mind blowing.
And I'm not very good at D'ing pantings.   
But if I'm going to spend alot of money on a painting, I 'll only buy from someone I have researched and trust. A rule I keep when buying anything, online esp.

To get one of the 3-d`s costs $34,000.  I wouldn`t worry about someone selling it on ebay !!

Thanks for the amusing reading!

My son's company has one of these printers (movie industry/books/video games).  Pretty amazing!
