ive seen some very cool photographs of people turned into some great 3d art on this web site. ive been searching for someone who knows how to take one of my photos, of myself or me and my wife together, and make a poster or a print out of it, frame it, and im willing to pay for it. is it possible to do this (take my photo, a photo on my computer sent to the artist), and then fractal it, or 3d it, and still have it resemble the original photo??? like i said im willing to pay for the artists time and vision. what do you think, fractal or 3d, is there anyone out there that has done this, or is willing to talk to me about it? if so, send me a letter to razzell2@mscomm.com im really bad at finding a post or a thread on a message board. unless "osity sends me an email telling me someone has answered my post, and sends me the link, id never find this post again. let me know thanks r munson it looks like i can attach a photo to this message so ill try and send a sample of a pic.

You should try the poser forum. Or Z Brush forum. If you got a really good photo, I mean really good and BIG and not jpg like a bmp original it should be able to be mapped to a mesh then rendered in a application.

There are some interesting manipulations possible with the right software. For instance, this image was made from a digital photograph of my daughter. If you want something that looks good after printing, the original image would have to be 1200x1500 pixels or larger (for an 8x10 print). The math is easy. Each inch of final print should be about 150 pixels (or more) across. So, a 16x20 print would need an image of 2400x3000 pixels. If you have a photograph (not digital) it can be scanned in at about the same resolution. Blowing it up larger would lose you some detail.
