there is a pc program called photomodeller that can do that i dont know of any for the amiga though. it uses photogrammetry to build 3d objects from multiple images of an object and can get textures at the same time. i started to write a prgram to do something similar but i found that with carefully taken pictures you can get rough x,y,z data for the pixel coords
i saw an article in an amiga mag once that had an effect similar to what you are describing for your video. i think it was lightwave and it was a rendering mode where you could set it to render verteces or edges or faces.
