Article Excerpt:

One of Adobe's new intriguing projects will help 2D artists with their work. Project Turntable is one of the new "Sneaks" demonstrations at this week's Adobe MAX conference. This Adobe Illustrator tool allows artists to transform 2D vector images into 3D models you can rotate around the axis of the screen.

As shown in the demo, the knight fighting the dragon is being faced in different directions. Adobe researcher Zhiqin Chen pointed out this task would usually require "redraw[ing] the entire shape, which is going to take a lot of time." All Chen had to do was select the warrior and tap on the "Generate views" button to get this machine-generated 3D model of the knight.
