Promised to do the same thing for photos. As SolidWorks Hero mentioned, though, it was quite difficult to work with and wasn't very precise. It was good enough to have as a visual, or for animations and renderings, but no good for an engineering model. I think if you invest enough time with it you could get better with it, but there's definitely a learning curve.<br><br>Definitely a great tool, though, as well as this video trace thing.Bruce BuckSat, 12 Jan 2008 15:40:52 -0000http://www.solidsmack.com/create-3d-models-from-video/2008-01-09/#comment-1290527It's interesting to think that this is moving toward <em>extracting</em> 3D data from video.<br><br>As it is now, the traced model is a static part, but add some object recognition with extrapolating kinematics and you could bring in working assemblies, moving people, etc. Definitely cool stuff.JoshThu, 10 Jan 2008 12:20:38 -0000http://www.solidsmack.com/create-3d-models-from-video/2008-01-09/#comment-1290520wow, awesome. I could reverse engineer something from just pictures.K MasonWed, 09 Jan 2008 15:21:31 -0000http://www.solidsmack.com/create-3d-models-from-video/2008-01-09/#comment-1290523Wow, that is cool stuff. I wonder if it works as well as it does on the video. I remember using some photo gamatry software a while back... and it turning out to not be as useful as I though it would be :-(aWhatmoughWed, 09 Jan 2008 14:24:56 -0000http://www.solidsmack.com/create-3d-models-from-video/2008-01-09/#comment-1290525Amazing!<br><br>DevonDevon T.
