Hi Ejaz, The technique that lets you convert 2D pictures to 3D is called photogrametry . Some softwares do this : Photomodeller, Geometra, Canoma ... but not Carrara . Like most softwares, Carrara lets you model objects from scratch . I think you've made a confusion between Carrara and Canoma, both softwares were first edited by Metacreations and their names look alike . You're not the first one ;) I've used photogrametry a bit with Geometra and Photomodeller, there are free versions of those softs . Canoma was very limited . For a lot of reasons, the results are not always realistic, and it's not very easy to use either . Frankly, photogrametry can be very time consuming and boring so my advice is : look but don't touch ;) litst
