Hello,

our company has just started creating a new web presentation. We would like to upload 3D PHOTOS of our products. Has anybody got experience with creating 3D photos? Does anybody know any software that creates this?

Thanks,
Matt What do you mean by 3D photos? Do you mean illustrations or photos with some kind of 3D effect applied to them?3D photos with stereoscopic imaging, like this: www.3djournal.com/001/artic2.php
or just a rotatable image on your website, like this: http://www.3dbin.comtake a look at this

if you're wanting to do cheap, detailed scans of a 3D object.
Pretty interesting stuff.also, take a look at Photofly by Autodesk.Yes, I mean rotatable images of products. I was thinking this technology http://www.fotorobot.cz/photorobots/. I don't want to buy any machines though – I'd like to take pictures without using any machines. Do you know about any software that can convert series of images into 3D pictures? And also, do you have any idea of how much it would cost to get the 3D pics DONE in a studio?

Thx, Matt.The problem with creating a rotatable image is that to look correct, all of the images should be TAKEN at precisely the same distance and angle as well as at a set number of degrees for each image to be take at (like ever 10 degrees for example). Otherwise, if the measurements are not all the same, the picture will look odd when rotated. That's why most professionally done 3D rotatable images are done with machines, strictly for precision.

You could, with care, use a turntable of some sort and a camera on a tripod. That should keep the distance and angle right. You would have to measure the angles and TURN the turntable precisely for each image before JOINING them together in the rotatable image. That's probably the best "poor man" method I can think of. Time consuming compared to using a machine though.
