It wasn't long ago when everyday people had no means of taking a simple picture. Camera's were expensive and the cost of the film and developing was over the top. If you think about it, the pictures you had taken, there was no way to view them until they were developed at a film developing company. Many times the one time shots were either blurry or over/under exposed or just brutal shots.

Truth be told nobody had any idea of what the pictures would look like thus the phrase "it is what it is" or shall we say "It is what it was"..

Today it's a very different story. Almost everybody you see walking around has a fantastic quality camera on there person in the way of a cell phone. Resolutions and picture quality even surpass many of what were not too long ago very expensive SLR camera's used by professional photographers.

 What does this have to do with making model?

EVERYTHING!  Because of all the technology at this time is so advanced since those days, we now don't even need a camera to get the images or make pictures that we like or want to share on social media platforms. This is nuts and unbelievable.

It's that simple or is it? We can now imagine a picture and with the ongoing research and development in AI growth, all we need do is just imagine a picture and by using a computer or cell phone we are able to do that. What would Mamma say?

Sounds simple? Sounds complicated? Sounds unrealistic!!!

All three above come into play here as we use these overwhelming tools of today to create and articulate our very own masterpieces at the click of a button or maybe two. Whatever...

These pictures on the side look like something from a science fiction movie asides from the handsome fellow at the lower left with the dog...

The pictures here are from an idea less a few minor details.

All of these images came from an idea and a computer. Unlike a invention, these pictures are more of a intervention.

We broke the silence and thought of an idea. We put the idea down in text and with the help of AI.... well here it is. However, it's just not the artificial intelligence at work here as it also is the advancement of technology in working machines designed over the years. We are now and have been for a while now able to print our thoughts not only to paper but a 3 Dimensional image that has transformed into something you can touch.

3D printers are a thing of the now and will only get better and faster.

Imagine taking a picture on a regular cell phone. Upload the picture file into a online app or computer program that is able to analyze the photo and take the now 2 dimensional picture and convert it into a 3 dimensional file that you can print on a 3D printer. Whatever the picture can't see it will use the photo itself and image accordingly to the best of the AI's ability to complete the image on all three axis.

Basically it guesses what might be on the backside of the image. As the intelligence gets better it will render a better idea of what indeed is on the backside of the image.

Now we can make a character 3D print from a simple picture. These printable files are the way of the times right now and it can only get better and better. Let's not forget what is real and what is not... Just sayin'...
