Make 3D Models from 2D Drawings with HexaGreat
HexaGreat 3D, in its original Japanese format, Rokkaku Daioh, has been available to Mac users since 1994, but has received little acclaim outwith the East due to the lack of an English language version, and of a stable port to the Windows operating system.
Used to covert 2D images, such as drawings and photos, into 3D polygon models, HexaGreat 3D found a huge market in fans of Manga, who wished to portray their 2D idols in three dimensions.
HexaGreat, compared to other 3D polygon modelers, has a limited toolset, but an easy learning curve, and due to its unique symmetrical modeling system, rewards the artist with an eye for perspective.

In HexaGreat, the modeler traces over the background image, and HexaGreat 3D generates the 3D model automatically by calculating the z-axis depths. Due to the automated nature of polygon creation, the user is restricted to making symmetrical models: if a point is created on the left side of the model, a mirror of that point must also be created on the right side.
This symmetrical method of modeling lends itself to creating objects such as vehicles, robots, buildings and other man-made structures. While HexaGreat 3D is not designed specifically for organic modeling, its ease of use makes it an effective choice for the creation of basic low polygon character models for games, ready for importing into a 3D package with a more advanced toolset for additional modeling refinement, texturing and animation.

HexaGreat in English for Windows is available to download from the Flat2D website, along with links to video tutorials on its use. Please note that the mfcdll2.lzh file, available on the Shusaku website, is required to run HexaGreat on Windows XP and Vista.
You can create polygon models from 2D pictures with HexaGreat 3D, a free and easy to use symmetrical polygon modeler ported from the Japanese 3D software, Rokkaku Daioh.
