Rapidly Convert Ordinary Photos for 3D Printing

Software Overview

This innovative new software rapidly converts an ordinary photo to a 3D model for one-off lenticular printing. You can use 2D-3D Photo (tm) with complex backgrounds and with multi-person and full-body photos.  That makes it perfect for school photos, wedding photos, team sports photos, framable portraits, 3D ID cards...  It is designed for professional printers, photographers and graphic designers, to let you convert large volumes of photos to 3D the easiest and fastest way possible.

Strengths:  You do not need to mark edges of foreground objects, using our rapid foreground-background separation. Just a few strokes, and the entire scene is segmented and modeled.  And wait 'till you see how fine details like fly-away hair and tree branches are handled.  These are typically impossible to get a cutting path for, especially if there are lots of gaps.  But we think you will be surprised at how well fine detail like hair is knocked out with this program, and at how each individual strand is modeled in 3D.

Pay As You Sell: This software is available free, and we enourage you to copy and share it.  After you convert the photo and preview the 3D model, a secure payment is made ($5 US) before printing. You can pass this on in the retail cost to the customer, along with the cost of labor and printing supplies. You only pay after you have a customer's order. 

1-Minute Demo Clips:

• Rapid separation of multi-patterned backgrounds, no blue-screening required (5 MB)
• Overview of the software showing automated 3D modeling and background replacement (8 MB).
• An example of the resulting print (1 MB).
  

Ink Jet Printing: Traditionally lenticular printing is done with lithography, which has high set-up costs and requires you to print 4000+ copies.  But our rapid conversion software and in-house printing method opens up new opportunties with one-off printing. Now you can convert an ordinary photo and print one copy on an ordinary ink jet printer.  After you have done a few, you'll see that it is fun and you get a sense of accomplishment making something as sophisticated as a holographic print with your own hands. You can also quickly test prints this way.  Please email for our instructions on in-house lenticular printing and laminating.
