Abstract
A method and system for applying photo texture acquired from a video resource to a 3D model operates within a 3D modeling system. The modeling system includes a modeling application operating on a workstation and a storage device containing a video resource. A 3D model is created or edited within the 3D modeling system. For a selected surface, the method and system allow selection of a video resource, selection of a video frame of the video resource, and selection of an area of the video frame to use as a photo texture to apply to the selected surface. The selected area of the video frame is copied and mapped to the selected surface of the 3D model.
