HOW CAN I MEASURE THE EXTACT DISTANCE OF OBJECT IN 2D IMAGE? TO SCULPT IN 3D

Hi Jamie,

In general, you can’t.

Usually you’ll have to eyeball it. Compare the objects, in the image that you know the size of, with the ones you don’t.

It’s an art to translate from 2D images to 3D. This Course goes deeper into it, when it comes to Sculpting: https://cgcookie.com/courses/art-of-sculpting

If you know the measurement of the object in the picture, then you just have to create an object of that size, say a cube and the adjust the image to the size of the cube. So for example I want to sculpt a playstation 5 and I have a picture of it, all I have to do is google the size of a PS5, make a cube the size with those numbers and then I scale up or down my reference image to match that size.
