hi, okay this may be a slightly longer post so if you don’t wanna read it i wont hate you for hitting back. So, last year my dad died and ever since then its messed me up really bad. I’m trying to do stuff that helps remind me of him. My dad was a taxi driver, that was his life he loved it. So it got me thinking, what if i could get a 3D model of him and his taxi. Would be amazing i think to have something like that, so i started researching it and im in far too deep. I haven’t a clue where to go or how to go about it. Basically i have some pictures for reference and measurements i’d like the figures to be. I’d like them in the colors seen on the pictures. I thought it’d be a straight forward thing, but it really isn’t. Everyone seems to need a cad file or something, which i don’t have, and i cant make as i have about as much talent as a bag of marbles. so im stuck in an infinite loop of just problems. any advice on what to do/where to go would be appreciated it

You have photos of a person and a taxi cab. You want a miniature 3D model of both. Accurate summary? The cab shouldn’t be an issue and there are likely already available models or toys. The human miniature are you looking for a full standing model, a bust or maybe just a raised 2D version (like a photograph with a flat bottom and the face/features raised up off the portrait)?

You might look for someone who can do 3D modeling from the pictures of him. Never done anything like that but you might start with asking professional photographers what they may know.

Sounds like a nice project.

Your summary is accurate. The human miniature id like as a full 3d standing model.
