3D Software convert 2D into 3D

I want to creat a website and I was wondering if someone on this forum could recommend options for software and process for the following:1. Creation of a 3d image of a real person based on detailed dimensions of the body and a full-length photo. This should look as close to a 3d real life image as possible. The purpose of this will be to create a 3d scaled model to try clothes on Internet. 2. Is it possible, with existing technology out there, to create a good quality 3d images based on a 2d photograph of a clothing item and scale it based on size needed. e.g. if you see a dress on a mannequin or just a photo of it on an e-retailer?s website and it is a photo of a size 4 dress but I need a size 6 then the software would scale it to size 6 and try it on the model created in the step above. All replies, suggestions, feedback will be greatly appreciated.

I highly doubt that something that sophisticated would be available for free to the public. I would imagine there does exist software that will do all your requirements but it would not be free and rather privately owned and licensed out. Converting a 2D image to a 3D model would not be a simple task. Complex logic would be required to work out all the minor details where the 2D image missing.

I don't think there is a 2d to 3d converter, you would most likely have to pay someone to do it for you, or you could do it yourself. If you think you have the expertise. There is a great program called Maya that you can use to render 3-D images (:

What you want is AutoCad or something similar it is for designing things on a graph(mostly known for use by engineers of any and everything). You can design things in 2d at all levels on x,y,z and AutoDesk 3d studio Max will allow you to bring them into 3d by directly importing the 2d files into max and then you model them up into 3d according to the design. Modeling is a developed skill that takes lots of training and AutoDesk programs are tens of thousands of dollars. Like mentioned by kira423 maya is good too but also expensive.

Blender is a free and open source 3d editor you could use to make your 3d models, also Google SketchUp also converts your designs from 2d to 3d. I haven't used SketchUp yet but I heard it's pretty amazing as it does both things the AutoCad and Max can do

Get Blender here blender.org
Get SketchUp here SketchUp I would try it out before you commit to anything money wise.

Automatic conversion like sonesay said would require alot of logic and that is what programmers have to study math and nothing but math but from what I hear SketchUp is just that. So if since these kinds of things are getting to the public it probably won't be long before some source hits the streets.

hmmm...maya, v ray, 3d max, auto cad , its depend on your expertise.

You can also try daz 3d. just search it in google.but i think blender is much better.

Come on some one give me a thumbs up or wisdom flag! beeep!

I do not believe that there is a way to do this automatically at the moment. If you want to get a 3D model of something from a 2D image, you are probably going to need to get different angles of the 2D image and create a 3D model yourself using modeling software like Cinema 4D, Blender 3D, Maya, etc. What you are looking for is a pretty complex idea and it that kind of technology may not be available publicly for another few years (or decades). If you do decide to learn how to model, it will take a very long time to model yourself (plus the clothing that you want to try on). For your purposes, I do not think that you should take the time to learn all of that. The learning process might take even longer than the modeling itself! It just is not worth your time.

I highly doubt that some of the complex will be free to the public. I guess the software does exist, all of your requirements, but it will not be free, and not privately owned and authorized...
