Hi Folks,
i came across POV-RAY today and have downloaded it, i have no real
idea what it is ... looks nice though.
Here is what i was thinking. I have a regular 2D image (say jpg) of
a person. Can i make it 3D? If this is possible, can someone show me an
example (and code if available)? ( i do not care what the 3D image looks
like, at this point, it can be any 3D rendering of a photograph in jpg
format).
Please email me. If there is sufficient interest, i will summarize.
Thank you.

It is a good question and one I have answered before. If you go to
the povray.binaries.tutorials group you will find a subject line that
say's "2D to 3D image tutorial" that I posted on 3-5-1999. It is a bit
advanced for a beginner but it will get you going in the right direction.
It does include povray code and image examples so it should answer many
of your questions for you.
For the record Pov does not directly support the jpg image format and
anything you wish to do with images in pov will have to be converted to
one of the formats it does support. You will find more info about this in
my tutorial.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have after going through it and
I will see what I can do to help.

P.S. To see how well my methods can work look in the images group on this
server by Jim Kress "The Pieta" <sp?> posted on 03-04-1999 and my own post
"Cheyanne Warrior" on 03-05-1999 both showing the power of the process.

If you have several pictures from different angles of the same
object/person then try:

There are some tricks for "faking" it but no way to really do
it.
Consider the circular shadow. Which of an infinite number of
ellipses with the long axis towards the light is it a shadow of?
Then consider all the other possible shapes with a circular cross
section between the light and the shadow?
With a 2D image you simply do not have the 3D information to
resolve the infinite possibilities in all (I think) cases.
