A method of making a model of a human which incorporates at least part of a head comprises scanning a human face 1 with a laser to produce three-dimensional face data 2 representative of the shape of the face, combining the face data with hair data 3 representative of the shape of a hair style to produce head data 5 representative of the shape of a human head, the hair data having been selected from a predetermined database of hair shapes, and producing a three-deminsional model 7 of the head from the head data 5. Body data 4 may be selected from a predetermined database of body shapes and combined with the head data 5 to produce combined head and body data representative of the shape of an entire human body. The three-dimensional model is preferably produced by a rapid prototyping technique 7 such as laser stereolithography, laser sintering or fused deposition modelling. |
