OT- 2D to 3D.

[Randallw]

If someone is good at drawing perhaps they can use this program to make ships.

My god that is awesome... the potential for drawing and animation...

I have so got to play with that. I have some seriously neat ideas.

[Gandalf Parker]

That is way too cool. Surely there is some professional software out there someplace that can do that. I might get into 3D with that.

Here you can get a converter to convert to both X3D and VRML are standards for 3D graphics on the web.

Andres Lescano used software like that to convert the SE3 shipsets to SE4 3d portraits a while ago. They didnt turn out so hot, but that may have just been because they source images were 32x32, upscaled to 128x128.

That is amazing, and the potential for it is geometrically even more so.

Fyron: Did you actually click the link? The software demonstrated is not really all that similar to the kind of software Andres would have used.

BTW, if you sniff around a bit, you can find an improved version of the teddy software, "smoothteddy".

Sorry, no. I just extrapolated from what was said, especially the title of 2d to 3d and format conversions.

Just like the real thing (see attachments)...
