Could this help dramatically in creating ingame objects?

Just asking, because, well, it seems quick and easy for me as an amateur:

Not sure if it is not a fake, but even if it would not, Im sure that it wont be working that good..

The consensus is that it's not quite as easy as it looks in the video.

They probably wouldn't be optimized for game models anyway, so you'd still have a lot of work to do.

not really available yet, the paper for it is being submitted to this years siggraph asia conference in november.

 

this is name of paper "3-Sweep: Extracting Editable Objects from a Single Photo"

the only thing of it that exists online is the video. even the paper hasn't been submitted yet, or isn't viewable. there's no information of what operating system it runs on, seeing as its being developed jointly by two universities, one in Israel and the other in china you might actually need a cray to run it.
