I remember there used to be an add-on or small 3rd party app, that would almost be able to reverse engineer a 2D photo into some wireframe intersections and joints.
So, i think it can be done.. but sorry, i dont know the name of the apps.
Is it possible to take a JPG, GIF, PSD etc... use it in 3DS Max to create a wireframe ?
I have photographs of buildings, that I would like to use to make wireframes. I thought this was possible, so I went and got 3DS Max v9. But to my avail, I cannot seem to figure out how to do this.
Now, I am starting to think I was given bad advice. Was I? Or do I require a bit of a helping hand to do what I want?
Thank you, for reading this. I hope I made sense.

Hello Denyse,
I had a similar question about converting 2d images into 3D a few months ago. I asked one of my instructors if it was possible, the reply I got was “Yes” it can be. But the application to do this is a bit expensive. I do have a few web links for you to check out and see if they help you or at lest point you in the right direction to archive your goals.

I hope this helps you out.

I found this package that is really interesting. Commercial use is forbidden however you might want to take a look for experimentation.

And another interesting package.

Hello Denyse
I just found a book that may help you out with converting 2D objects to 3D models. The book I found is called Modeling a Character in 3Ds Max By Paul Steed. I just recently found this book reference while attending my school. I hope you find this useful, it has an excellent step by step and how to section, Illustrating how to make 2D images into 3D models.

That looks like a good resource LineDawg! I'll keep it mind, it will be useful![]()
