Webcam image + 3D texture mapping

[dipkya]

Hi

Is there any way to capture an image from webcam and replace it with your 3D object?
Suppose you are buying a Curtain cloth but you want to see how it looks as curtain.

You will select your choice of cloth and show it to camera.
Camera will store the image/texture of cloth.
ON Display TV 3D application is running which will show the selected texture on 3D curtain.

Can we add a texture in runtime in 3D scene.

Please guide

You should be able to construct an appropriate Material for use with Papervision using a bitmap captured from a webcam feed (I know I saw a demo of a cube textured with webcam input). The problem is that the rendered scene will be highly subject to factors such as lighting and subject orientation. And getting the proper scale set up for actually getting the pattern at the right size will be difficult. You can build it, but don't expect it to work magic.
