I know this sounds kind of lazy on my part :D, but I was wondering if there is a program that can generate a 3d model from a set of photographs, taken from all different angles of the object. Is there such a thing?

If there is, it isn't free.
...or cheap for that matter.
There is a printer that can create a 3d model based on 3d model data in a program...
Pretty crazy...
And I dunno about what you suggested, my guess is no :)
Yeah, in our computer lab we have a 3d printer.
As for the 3d program, :(. Too bad. I have another question. I have a model saved in a 3ds format, with texture maps all built in. However, I want to export this to .obj for my program (I gave up trying with the 3ds loader I downloaded). Now, wavefront files do not store texture maps inside the file. So is there a feature in the program that allows you to export the texture map to a bitmap so I can load it into my program too?
you guys have one of those babies?
they're like 50,000 dollars!
I mean they actually create a physical 3dimensional model..
about the size of a copy machine....
Yes, I've seen those things. The technology doesn't make much sense to me though. :)
I feel like an 80 year old man when I see things like that. Dag flab'm... you damn kids and your hokey concoctions!
What you suggest is possible (viewing 3D from various still shots). A friend of mine had to do this as an image processing assignment. I don't recall exactly how it works but in involves calculating eigenvalues, yeah, so thats about all I remember :P
There is a lot of research in this field, but I haven't heard of a commercial product working in the general case. There are 3D-scanners where you place an object on a rotating plate and it takes the images at predetermined angles, making the reconstruction easier.Quote:

and making a 3D model from a picture is not possible at the moment, and i dont think i ever will be, but is an area of study in graphical computer science.
actualy, here is aone program that can make 3d models out of 3 pictures, only problem is that it only does heads.
