2D to 3D
We use depth algorithms to layer 2D images, then apply 3D algorithms for pixel offset and blank pixel filling, enabling the conversion of 2D images into 3D effects.
Animation
A sequence of frames (up to 56 frames) is extracted from the original animation to construct a complete frame sequence. By adjusting the field of view and focal points, dynamic images are generated that can be displayed without any electronic devices.
Parallax Effect
For works with layered psd files, we apply depth algorithms to each layer, converting them into 3D. Using multi-layer depth information, we simulate a 3D perspective and ultimately create a 2.5D depth effect.
3D Model
By precisely mapping the spatial coordinates of virtual 3D models to the lenticular diffraction range, a true stereoscopic visual effect is achieved on the lenticular sheet, ensuring realistic 3D depth perception from different viewing angles.
