More Fun with PNGs

I took some pictures of the rail yard in Albuquerque at sundown, and collaged  few a of my drawings, to see if they looked good on photos.







DISINTEGRATED FIGURE

2D into 3D

I downloaded the original PNG file above, and converted it into an STL file using Vectorizer (see the Samba Dancing Drawing post for the full procedure).  But the STL file was huge, 28 MBs.

Then I imported the STL file into SculptGL, and exported an OBJ file -- still huge.

In order to "decimate" the 3D file (reduce the file size), I imported the big OBJ file into Instant Meshes, and exported a smaller OBJ file of only 7 MBs (which you can download here).  This video tutorial helped me get through Instant Meshes. Note: You have to add the ".obj" to the file name in order to save the file, the program does not do this automatically.

I reduced the OBJ file size


Then I re-imported the smaller OBJ file into SculptGL, and had fun inflating and warping the figure in three dimensions.  

I uploaded the smaller OBJ file into SculptGL online, 
and had fun inflating and warping the drawing in 3D


You can  download the smaller OBJ file (7 MB) --
and import it into SculptGL, to alter and play in 3D online, inside of your browser.

Below are more PNG files of my gesture drawings,with transparent backgrounds, ready for collaging.
