Please read Key Modelling Concepts first. This will introduce the terms in bold that are used in this document

You can use a Project Wizard to set up a project by selecting the Project Wizards button from the Welcome Screen, or by selecting Tools->Wizards->Project Wizards. This will lead you through steps 1,2,4 and 5 below.

To create a model without using a Project Wizard follow the 6 steps explained below.

Step 1 : Define project views

	Take a set of photographs of the object, or obtain existing JPEG or bitmap images of an object you wish to model. Add the images to the Project. Each image will be one View of the object.
AND/OR	Create Blank Views, in which you will draw the object using Modeller's drawing tools.

Step 2 : Define A Camera

IF	you are using a digital camera to obtain images, and you wish to use Viewpoint Estimation to calculate Viewing Directions for you. Define a camera
Else	You will supply a Viewing Direction for each View. You do not need to define a camera.

Step 3 : Add Cues to Images

IF	you are using Viewpoint Estimation to have viewpoints calculated from Viewpoint Cues. Define a viewpoint cue for each image.
Always	Define Silhouette Cues for each image.

Step 4 : Defining Viewing Directions

IF	you are using Viewpoint Estimation to have viewing directions calculated from Viewpoint Cues. Views with viewpoint cues will have viewing directions calculated automatically.
Else	Define viewing directions

Step 5 : Define Model Settings

Optional

Define settings that effect the appearance of the model

Step 6 : Build a model, and if necessary refine it.

Optional	Edit the Build settings
Always	Build the model, and if necessary refine the model further

If you would like to put the model on a web page read the section on Exporting to VRML
