3d academic project

[Fadi Yoosuf]

Hi I am fresh to 3d programmng and currently I have no knowledge about 3d programming libraries. I have an academic project which has to be completed in 3 months. An individual has offered me a 3d project. Project requirment is as follows. A webcam will capture a person face which is rotated from left to right, displaying the entire front side of a person. A 3d image is to be created from these data. Is it feasible to get a clear 3d picture of the face?? If so , will it be feasible to finish the project in 3 months for academic students? Also can you pls suggest me the best suited library? wpf, opengl or directx or some other?? What else aspects should I know to do the project?? thanks in advance Fadi

That is a hell of an undertaking for someone without ANY 3D knowledge as of now. I would suggest not doing that as your final project. What I would do however is take the aspects that you are good at, combine them, then take a few small things that you are not so good at, and throw them in there. That would be a very cool application however.
