Create static avatar model from screenshots

[Monalisa Robbiani]

Hi, I'm trying to create a static 3d model of my avatar WITHOUT any illegal softwares or viewers (please don't post these, won't use that). I heard there is a freeware program that creates a model by screenshots only. Anyone know? TY!

Hmm, one thing that I can think of that might work is 123D Catch from Autodesk http://www.123dapp.com/catch

What that does is take a number of pictures with a camera that you take from mutliple sequenced angles but I don't see why you couldn't simulate the same in SL.

Pop avatar on a stand against a clean background and take snapshots but instead of using a physical camera, you'd take screenshots.  It would be even neater if you had a scripted pose stand that rotated but that's just a luxury.

The result is a point cloud model and as I understand it you want to pass that to a 3D printer.  Try it.

Might work ok.
