I just installed and played with it a little bit. When they say have good lighting, they mean it. :)
I set it up in a completely crappy situation, calibration on a brown cardboard backing, yellowy light (incandescent) really crappy webcam and the laser level has a licker line than I think will produce good results on a detailed object.
I got the general (blobby) shape of my objects - one a plushy cat toy, the other a bottle of wood glue - but it proves to me that this could work pretty well under optimum settings, which I intend on doing, using the same laser, but a white light, DV cam and a better background.

I can't wait to give it a real go.
