3D is not a craze but a need. 3D Printing is the future. There are services which charges huge for 3D printing mini replica. However, we can devote a time to slowly create own or wanted closer people’s 3D replica and print it. After printing we can paint it. If we do not have 3D printer, there are 3D printing services. There is no easy way to create 3D replica from photograph. Here is a guide on how to create own 3D Model from Photograph with Free Softwares. I agree, it is not easy job. But softwares mentioned in this article are free and our way is cheapest, of highest detail (depends on work) and files are of maximum compatibility.

Factually the method to recreate your own 3D model from photograph is superimposing one 2D photograph and adjusting the parameters by dragging the values on GUI. The software has pre-built full hum templates. You can adjust the gender, age, ethnicity, hair color to minute details of nose with volume control like sliders. With that first approximate template matching your age, gender, ethnicity, you can superimpose and adjust neck details, nose details to head’s all possible details.
