Here's an image of a cute teddy bear.
We're going to make a 3D model of it, in just a few minutes.
We'll use Archipelis 2
The goal is then to take that 3D model into another 3D environment. PErhaps a game, perhaps Second Life, or perhaps Carrara for 3D animation and rendering.
Of course, after we have created such a model, we can use it in many ways, different sizes, angles, whatever we want. With the 3rd dimension, the possibilities are endless

Using Project Dogwaffle's special FX filters we can add some drama to it such as light diffusion, distant fog and mystic vision as well as blur in the distance and sharpen nearby.
First, we'll want to load the image of our teddybear into the background,. so that we may then trace its contours.
When you launch Archipelis Designer 2, you'll hear a short sound blib and see an empty workpace.
Along the left size's toolbar, look for the TEXTURES section and click LOAD
You can load an image which is in many formats such as Jpeg, BMP, Png and more.... and make it appear in the background of your workspace.

Time to get to work: In the view bar at the bottom you can click the magnifying glass, to select zooming mode.
You can then select a rectangular area from the screen in order to zoom into that region.
Note that you should start the selection with the upper-left corner of the rectangle. Drag it to the lower right and let go when you have your desired selection.
Now we're looking at a close-up, and we can repeat the zooming ioperation again for an even closer look, for example if you want to focus on one of the ears.
