To digitize an object, a camera captures images of different sides of the object with color and depth data. At least two different sides of the object are identified from the images, and constructions are created of the sides of the object from the images. Points of the constructions to connect to one another are determined and used to align the constructions. The construction are merged to generate a rendition of the object. Various techniques are applied to extrapolate edges, remove seams, extend color intelligently, filter noise, apply skeletal structure to the object, and optimize the digitization further. The rendition of the object can be provided for display as a digital representation of the object and potentially used in different applications (e.g., games, Web, etc.).
