2D Photo to 3D Photo ... Any Ideas?

[DugDog]

I was playing around with Photoshop and I found how to make a "semi" 3D photo:

Photoshop 3D Mesh Test - YouTube

Does anyone know of a program/tutorial that would allow me to create a movie clip as if I was flying through space?

Just a thought.

Thanks!

Yes you could use Adobe after effects.

Loads of ways you could try to do it in after effects, but basically import your photoshop 3d mesh to after effects and create a 3D camera layer so you can move around your picture and scale to and from the picture to give the look of flying through space.

Then i would edit the movie in Final cut or iMovie because the compression isn't that great on after effects. You don't want a 1gb file for a 10 second video.

Just looked on youtube is this the sort of thing your talking about

The imagers at the Hubble Science Institute ( or whatever its name is ! ) did that with the ultra-deep sky image. Only one word to discribe it - - - WOW ! Have fun !

I made a tutorial here:

Convert 2D Photo Into 3D Photo - Photoshop Astrophotography Tutorial - YouTube

2D Photo into 3D Photo using GrayScale Screen Mesh

It's not an absolute 3D photo, but it's simple and does give a slight 3D look.
