Tutorial In about 15 minutes these video clips take you through every step of the 2D-3D Photo (tm) conversion software. That is less time than it usually takes to process even just one image for 3D printing using standard tools. With a bit of practice on using a laminator and on using the best photo techniques, you will see that it is amazingly fast and easy to convert ordinary photos for 3D prints. If you work in an industry like lenticular printing or school photography, this is the work flow you need to rapidly convert large numbers of portraits. Even if you were not doing lenticular printing, this is an amazing program for background removal alone. Even with complex backgrounds, you can separate individual strands of hair and render them in the 3D wireframe model. No bluescreening required.
Part 1 begins with installing the software. You can then see the user-friendly interface and how it works. Then, we rapidly separate the foreground from the background. If you want to practice with the same photo used in the tutorial, it is available here. Simply swipe across the main colors on the foreground (left mouse button) and the background (right mouse button). Then view the foreground and background panels, and move the brush over any fine detail along the edges like fly-away hair. It is amazingly quick and easy to separate fly-away hair from a complex background with 2D-3D Photo (tm).
The tutorial continues here with an explanation of the Settings Panel. You can change the amount of rotation of the 3D object, and replace the background using depth keying. You'll see optimal settings for getting a good 3D scene model from an ordinary photo, and how to minimize the occluded blank spot behind the foreground person for viewing from an angle.
This final section of the tutorial continues with a payment being made in the secure Kagi shopping cart in the interface after the 3D model has been rendered and previewed. Each of the resulting images are viewed. We see the options for saving the frames in .avi format if preferred, either to print from or to share with others. The final section of the tutorial goes through the interlacing of the frames, using SuperFlip software. Simply drag the frames into the SuperFlip window, sort them, and press Process. The interlaced frames are then saved in a single large .tiff file on the desktop for printing.
