I found this while cruisin' the net. Its a free app where you can make 3D models of photographs. Your download sets you up and the heavy lifting is cloud based. It's a tad involved but it works. If you're interested it's easy to find. >>>123D Catch<<<

I checked it out but what dose it mean by cloud base?

Cloud Based - The program you load to your machine sends data to a server on the Internet (the cloud) that processes the information and returns the results. This program stitches together a number of images into a composite 3D result with rotation and fly-through capability, thus, the resulting 3D file could be huge, especially if you send the program a large number of views. The greater the number of views you send the program, the more accurate/detailed will be the result.

Probably, the program requires greater machine resources to have efficient processing, more than most users personal machines are capable of providing, thus the cloud environment. Your time is spend uploading the images and downloading the result.

It also appears to vaguely be some sort of social network, offering sharing between 3D enthusiasts very similar to some of the panographic interest sites.

LGibert, Thanks for your replie. I had heard of CLOUD before and thought it as such. I use Poser and DAZ3d so it caught my interest. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
