San Diego, CA – The 3D Film Factory, a company specializing in 3D technologies, is now the exclusive, worldwide licensee of 3inD software, a highly developed 2D to 3D stereoscopic image conversion process. Conceived using a new paradigm, the program actually recreates 2D images (video, film & stills) in a 3D space.

 

Conventional conversion programs merely rotoscope, or cut out selected objects within 2D images, only to push them around and create the illusion of depth. Conversely, the new 3inD system actually recreates 2D images within a three dimensional environment, creating true depth, texture and space. This revolutionary process overcomes most of the inherent problems that plague existing 3D conversion programs.

 

“This software recreates 2D images into textural, life-like 3D models. The results are phenomenal. Rather than pushing objects around to fake depth, we recreate the 2D image in a 3D world. When you think about how conversions are typically done, this makes a lot more sense. And seeing the results in 3D, you realize immediately it’s a superior methodology”, said company president Karl Kozak.

 

3inD’s innovative method not only gives conversion technicians unprecedented tactile command over highly complex images (live-action & animated), but takes the manipulation of alignment, perspective, depth, pop, borders, tracking, missing data, motion and stereoscopy – to a higher level altogether.

 

Like other 3D conversion systems, the resulting 3D images can be output to an array of formats and platforms, including; RealD & Dolby digital 3D polarized theaters, dual projection, 3D ready TV, alternate-frame sequencing, and more.
