| well,... any 3d model program can do this in the right hands. The easiest way to create photo realistic objects is to work from photos and proper texturing. There is a program called photomodeler that has a freeware version,... it allows you to make a 3d model from a series of photographs so you may want to look for it. There are several others that do this, but most cost several Thousand $$ |
