3D - 2

How can I create a 3D model of a cup which rotates from multiple photographs?

Hello. I need to make a 3D model of a cup which I can rotate around an axis so that you can see a 360 rotation. I have taken multiple pictures from all angles using a camera. Can anyone recommend any software and how to go about it? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks :)

1. Ideally you would model the whole thing in a 3D program such as 3D studio Max and have the software rotate and render the cup. However if you want to create the impression of 3D from a sequence of static images, you'll need to compile the photos into an animation, either a movie (avi, mov, etc.) or an animated gif. However, if you want it to look any good you´ll need to take the shots from a fixed camara position, (tripod) and rotate the cup the same number of degrees (+-) for each shot. If you take the shots from different angles as have apparently done, then the lighting angles, differente distances, etc. will give a pretty crappy and jumpy result. Also keep in mind that film moves at an avarage of 24 to 30 frames per second (ie 24 to 30 fotographs for 1 second of animation). You can get away with about 15f/s but thats about it. Once you have the photos ready, any software which allows you to create a sequence of images (video editing software; Ulead Video Studio, Adobe Premiere, etc. or animating software such as Flash or gif tools (try: /www.desktoppublishing.com/anitools.html) will do. Obviously it depends on the quality of the movie that you want to create. Then just import or drag each of the photos into the software. I'm afraid I can't be more specific on the last as it will depend on what software you use. Hope this helps www.i-deas.es
