I'm wanting to get different views of a 2D image, e.g. 
http://www.lincah.com/2010-bmw-z4-gt3/2010-bmw-z4-gt3-front-side-view

I'm thinking that what I'm asking for is not possible.  I think GMIC's 3D is the closest I'll ever get, but 
it compresses the image when varying Y angle while keeping X and Z equal to zero.  I guess this should have 
been obvious to me.

Thanks,
Stephen
