Recreating pillows from photo reference

mantaskava

Hello,

So here is the question:
Let's say all I have is these low rez photos:






And I need to make high poly models with crisp 4K rez textures for product viz.
How do I do that? is this even possible?
Only idea that comes to my mind is re-creating diffuse texture in some painting program from scratch, but that would take a massive amount of time (and skill).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

make your model based on photo > project the photo onto model UVs > bake to model UV .

As of making hi res image from low res  Artomatix  can do  that.  It's AI based.

Maybe something like this   https://github.com/tensorlayer/srgan

could do it too but I never tried it myself

Also, try reverse image search on individual pillows, to find higher-rez photos.

Beware though, most creations are copyrighted. If you don't have the manufacturer's permission, they could (and do) sue.
