imcube 3D Cinema
Introduction
imcube has launched imcube 3D Cinema, a semi-automatic conversion software for conversion from 2D to stereoscopic 3D and to multiview (na- ked) 3D, the highest quality range currently in demand by Hollywood studios, IMAX and broadcasters.
In contrast to other post-production tools widely used for 3D conversion, the imcube software takes an innovative computer vision approach to stereoscopic conversion and thereby provi- des features not previously known in manual conversion techniques.
This product was used successfully for clients like Warner Bros, Lionsgate, BBC Worldwide and other leading international 3D production houses.
Functionality
imcube 3D cinema has a tool-box of processes for assigning depth to all individual rotoscoped objects imported into the software, as follows:
• Gradient
• Ellipse
• Cylinder
• Mesh-grid
• Multi-point gradient
• Shape distance for object roundness
• 3D tracking and stereo-view synthesis
Furthermore, the software has several visualization options to support the artist while creating the stereo layout. These consist of:
• Gray-scale depth map
• Coloured disparity map
• Depth scan view
• Left/right toggle view
• Left/right difference view
• 3D model view
• Stereo-view (anaglyph, shutter, line-by-line, side-by-side, etc.)
imcube 3D Cinema has additionally a plug-in for Deadline render-manager in order to do the final rendering via the render farm.
