Andrew, 

I'm afraid that I never got very far with this, but for what it's worth:

It depends on what you mean by modeling. If you want to create a 3D
surface, then wrap the photograph around it, there are a number of
things available (such as Povray, BMRT) which will do it one image at a
time for you. To do it in real time (such as a game) seems to involve
writing your own code, or using something like 3D Studio Max on a
windows machine (it _may_ work under Wine, but I never tried it).

If you want to "take a stereo pair of images and create a model" or
"take a number of cross-sectional images and create a model" then I also
looked into this a short while ago, but didn't come up with anything. I
also looked around for Windows software, but couldn't find anything
either.

What do you want to do with the model - this will affect the kind of
model you produce (or at least the format of the data)

Paul.
