2D to 3D Suite Overview

The software offers the following benefits:

• Automatic generation of plausible depth maps in many cases — rotoscoping may only be necessary for key foreground objects and objects with complex borders
• Depth markup propagation from key frames — decreases number of frames requiring rotoscoping for all or several objects
• High-quality stereo generation using background reconstruction — automatic stereo generation without any manual work

Using 2D to 3D Suite, a small team of 10 people can convert a full-length movie within one to two months depending on the movie’s type and quality requirements.

The software is available as a set of plug-ins for Adobe After Effects CS5 or later and for Nuke 6.2 or later.

Tools List

The software contains the following plug-ins:

• Automatic depth map estimation modules:
  • Depth from Motion
  • Depth from Focus (After Effects)
  • Depth Effects (After Effects) — depth from geometry
• Depth Propagation (After Effects|Nuke)
• Depth editing brushes and depth correction filters
• Stereo Generator (After Effects|Nuke) — high-quality 2D+Depth-to-stereo conversion with automatic depth map correction, background reconstruction and fuzzy-edge processing
