Its not long before we receive the Structure Sensor in the post. We are looking forward to using this devise to scan Toy Hacks and body parts to create Toy Hack and Human Hack avatars for use in Exploring Senses digital art games.
Recently we had been checking out the variety of Autodesk 123D apps/software that you can download for use for free. One of the apps for the iPad is 123D Sculpt, which allows you to (in their words);
Shape your world in 3D!
Push, pull, pinch, paint, smooth, grab, tug. More fun than a Renaissance studio, cleaner than a box of mud. Available as a free download for iPad.
Autodesk Meshmixer for 3D Printing is another amazing free tool for Windows or OSX. Meshmixer is the ultimate tool for 3D mashups and remixes. Mash, mix, sculpt, stamp or paint your own 3D designs, or start from over 10,000 models in the Gallery. Now includes direct 3D print support.

Both the Structure Sensor and Autodesk 123D allow you to share your project via email or social media sites, or export your scan (Structure Sensor) or sculpture (Autodesk 123D) as an .OBJ file, which can be imported into Unity 3D game engine. The link below explains more about how to import and use .OBJ files in Unity
