wayne64 Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Hi, I just bought a copy of AM and want to take a real photograph of a product and rotate and manipulate the image. The book doesn't touch on this use at all. Any suggestions? Quote

I just bought a copy of AM and want to take a real photograph of a product and rotate and manipulate the image. You want to take that flat photograph and somehow recapture all the depth that was lost when that flat photograph was taken. That's a tall order, but that's what 3D modeling is all about. If you only need to rotate the object a little bit, you could apply the photo as a decal onto some simple geometry that approximates the shape of the object. If you want to fly all the way around the object and see parts that weren't even in the photo to begin with, you'll need to model the object more completely. You can use the photo as a reference; if its from a good angle you can even import it as a rotoscope to help you get the proportions right. Quote
