As much as I love to dabble in digital art, I am humbled by the fact that there are people out there who can produce stuff I wouldn't dream of even attempting. Take 3D modeling for example. The thought of trying to create something in three dimensions on a two-dimensional screen, and trying to imagine how that works, hurts my brain. Even though I'm an avid player of a game that invites the creation of custom 3D content, a game for which there are barely computer literate thirteen-year-olds out there creating such content, I just can't fathom being able to do such a thing myself.
Fortunately, if I should ever get the courage to try it, there's a tool out there that may make it a bit easier. Eos' PhotoModeler will allow you to import photos of multiple angles of an object, and then with your help to identify which edges correspond to each other in each photo, generates a 3D model of the object. It can still be a lot of work, but it looks like, if one had the time and the patience, it could be a lot of fun, too.
