Reproducing reality – X-Rite’s Total Appearance Capture
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Total Appearance Capture isn't some sinister new form of identity theft but a revolutionary method of digitizing physical models using a new scanning technology, with the ability to capture extraordinary detail and all input and output light.
