3D from Paintings and Old Photos

Examples of converting paintings and photos to 3D - Hooch

Moedertaak (The Mother), painted in 1660 by Pieter de Hooch  Illustration of a sequence of 8 images that render the model in wireframe, solid shading, and with texture

The illustration on the left side of the screen shows the painting, “Moedertaak” (The Mother), painted in 1660 by Pieter de Hooch. The composition shows a woman seated in a room, in front of a built-in bed cupboard, a child kneeling in front of her with its head in her lap. The figures are illuminated by the light of a nearby window. Through a doorway on the left, you can see into another room that has a divided door leading to the outside. The top half of the door is open.

The illustration on the right side of the screen is an animated sequence of 8 images that renders the identical model of the artwork in wireframe, solid shading, and with texture.
