If you are wanting Homer's head to be 3D so it looks like he is turning around.

You will need to use a full featured 3D appliation and learn to use it's modeling tools to sculpt the shape.

It would not be easy to do without a lot of training and practice.

ZBrush would be an excellent choice for that type of modeling however it is an expensive program to buy. I do not think there is a trial version available.

Blender is a free 3D program but has a steep learning curve.

Which program do you have?

Do a google search for tutorials for that program.

Renderosity has tutorials on many 3D applictions and may be a good place to start.

That's why the link to the spinning brain costs 160Euros, £120 or $240 to purchase and probably still has commercial use limitations. Creating objects/drawings in 2D programs takes years of practice and skill. Creating a 3D object takes even longer.

So it's going to take 500000000000000000000 hours of work and 500000000000000000000 decisions to create it. And that's not counting the cost of the software required nor the cost of top of the range hardware.

In other words there's no easy way around it. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

PS What does "uhm k i got " mean?

Please try not to use text messaging jargon in your messages. We have people from all over the world on the forum, and a lot do not speak English natively. They can respond much more intelligently if they can understand what you are saying in the first place.

It is difficult for native speakers of English to understand text messaging jargon. It is even difficult for people that speak American English like me
