The only way to make 3d objects is in the 3d program itself. If you understand it well you could probobly draw displacement maps and make the meshes that way. I do not know of any program for turning 2d into 3d, it really does not even seem possible, but Martin is the physicist. :wink:

That is not possible. The program would have to guess the third dimenssion of the image, beeing that a 2d image does not have it.

There are plugins for 3d programs that can turn multiple 2d images of one 3d object into a (rough) 3d graphic. They only work well if you have good images of that object.
Doing it by hand would be a better choice in most cases.
