How to create a 3D modeling from an image?

Rafael Leon Sep 11, 2012 10:37 AM

Hi everybody, I'm trying to design a 3D part from an image. I just want to give it a little 3D effect in the frontside but mantaining tha backside plane. It's like an extrussion but with curves and controling the surfaces. I've heard that i could make this whit nurbs, but I don't know how to use nurbs.

Could anyboby help me with this little issue??

  Hi Don Cheke.
  
  I have an example of image but the idea is to make this with images of cartoons or comics.
  
  I share the image as well as the the image as vector lines en DXF.
  
  The Idea is to make a 3d Part using Solidworks, maybe with surfaces or nurbs.
  
  Can you help me pls?

    With only a flat image to work with, it might prove difficult to get something accurate, since there is no side or top profiles from which to determine depth.
    
    I am new to surface modeling in SolidWorks, so this may be way off.
    
    In the attached....
    
    I inserted the image and scaled to the desired size. I then traced half the image front profile. I create two more sketches on new planes from the side and the top (to approximate what I thought it might be depth-wise. I then created a surface object from the sketches, thickened it and then extrude cut for the cutouts. I then mirrored the first half.

      Exactly, this kind of thing are what I would like to do.
      
      I have so many questions, and if you are a new image surface, I am less than it.
      
      Ok, I'lll try doing this little example and other ones.
      
      Thank so much for your help, and I hope we continue in touch!!!
