Papercraft by Bert Simons

Bert Simons is an amazing paper sculptor living in the Netherlands. His work is incredible, and there are some details about his technique and portfolio on his site.

One thing that is fascinating is his technique for 3d scanning. His early explorations in 3d modeling were done with a cheapie laser from a saw. After upgrading the laser and camera, he got better results.

He is apparently using Blender to do his computer compilation work of his three dimensional subjects.
