Modeling Characters from Customer Photographs

For the VRSG version 5 character library, MetaVR created three Australian soldier characters to fulfill a request from The Australian Government Department of Defence's Defence Science and Technology Organization (DSTO). DSTO supplied many photographs of soldiers in various positions and with various weapons from which the characters were created.
