2-D to 3-D - make a 3-d model out from 2-D Pictures

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

I found interesting free software to make a 3ds-Models out of stereoscopic pictures. You can even use two or more than two similar pictures like they are made by shooting a lenicular photo and to calculate automatically a 3-D model out of this. That calculated 3-d model can be used for creating 3-D environments or for creating pictures between those two original pictures of a stereoscopic shoot, those pictures between are required, if You like to print Your own lenicular photo.

The software is free using java (a little slow, but it works):

How to create a depthmap out of stereoscopic pictures

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Creating a depthmap out of two stereoscopic 3D pictures is possible with software like Stereo Works 1.0.  It is avaiable at http://www.lycosoftware.com/SW/Sw.html#Download for free.  The results are quite good - even they are still not perfect.

As well Triaxes (r) offers with Stereo Tracer “Professional” a Stereo and 2D plus Depth to 3D Converter. This software is designed for rendering multi-view images out of one picture and a depth map and can create a disparity image or Z-image out of two stereoscopic images. The software might be the best on the market at this moment, but the depthimages are still not perfect. Demo is for free and worth a try. Automatic rendering a depth map from a stereo pair to download from Triaxes.com : http://www.triaxes.com/index.php?id=59


This might be interesting for creating disparity images too: http://www.shawnlankton.com/2008/04/stereo-vision-update-with-new-code/

Stereoscopic Player

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Stereoscopic Player is a great free software to play 3d movies.

It allows you to play stereo­scopic videos and DVDs (external decoder required) and also allows you to watch live video from a capture device. Since it is based on Direct­Show, it can handle almost any media format, for example AVI, MPEG, WMV and ASF. Videos can be coded in several different stereo­scopic formats.


A link to download: Stereoscopic Player More Infos: 3D Player

At the same site You can download Stereoscopic Multiplexer that captures stereo­scopic video from two separate cameras. You might use the Stereoscopic Multiplexer.  It combines video data from DV camcorders, Firewire or USB webcams and most other capture hardware to a single stream in side-by-side format. It can be used within Stereoscopic Player as well as third party video software that supports WDM capture devices, for example Windows Media Encoder.
