If you recall the days of Infini-D, Kai's Power Goo and the world of 3D on the mac during the 90s...
Do you also recall a short lived program (i swear it was called Camino, but the browser has overshadowed this on any search engine) which allowed you to take a photo of a building (or similar simple geometric objects), import it and then using pins on bounding 3D boxes, you could create a 3D object which used the photo to wrap textures. Find the corners of the building, add a pin, and it intuitively created a model for you.
Done with enough precision, it was damn good.
I cant remember the name of this app, or why something so simple doesnt exist over a decade later.
