A few weeks back someone posted a link to a Canadian (?) university team who could render 3d faces from a 2d image. Does anyone remember the url?

Whoa. I'm glad you couldn't find it, twine42. I missed that the first time around.

To find it I searched for 3d faces 2d. All posts tagged with graphics was the third result, the thread is the third one listed.

thanks bob - that's exactly what I wanted. I hadn't remembered commenting in the thread though. Cheers!

Is there anything to do about this aside from work hard to improve the knowledge base? The more I peruse AskMe, the more I think that the optimal Answer for any Question is not necessarily contained in one thread but looped and woven throughout any number of threads on the topic. Questions that cannot or are not answered definitively by one commenter or in one thread can be answered better cumulatively over the course of a few threads. As long as the topic keeps coming up, the threads can be linked together and the answer taken from a whole composed of many threads.

Even if a question is answered definitively the first time, the question asked again provides another entry point to that answer (so long as the initial answer is linked to from the new question) for anyone using the archives to answer their questions.

I guess I'm rambling about finding answers on AskMe rather than any particular thread, so whatever. I had trouble finding an AskMe thread lately too, but it was deleted so I have an excuse.

This probably means something dreadful lurks in my subconscious, but I read this post as '...university team who could render 3d faeces from a 2d image...'.

Um, yeah. As you were.
