Hi all,

I=E2=80=99m doing some work on a short film with very limited resources, =
and so am trying to work out how to do some FX with effectively 0 =
budget.

There=E2=80=99s one shot where the director would like to add a car =
driving past on a road.  There=E2=80=99s a basic background plate but no =
option to shoot the car for real, the car would have to be a 3D model of =
the specific car used earlier in the shoot, but which is no longer =
available.

The specific car was extensively photographed so I=E2=80=99m wondering =
if it would be feasible to get a simple 3D model made that would be good =
enough for a 60 frame panning shot.  There are lots of high-res photos =
from all angles, I think the guy who took them intended to build a model =
via photogrammetry.

I=E2=80=99ve never done it.  I=E2=80=99m not a 3D artist.  Just =
wondering if anyone who has tried building a 3D model from photos can =
share some advice so I know if it=E2=80=99s even an option.  I see it as =
a possible learning exercise, even to potentially animate the car in the =
lite C4D that comes with AE.

Thanks in advance!
