For someone that is never going to use this tool but was interested in how this can be created just to learn something new, it was an incredible teaching experience. Great job on explaining the steps and showing your work.

You know it, when you have done much things without saving your video between, and then comes it blue spinning and you think "Oh gosh, please don't freeze!"

Even though I’m an idiot and I don’t understand, You did an excellent job of teaching . I just don’t know how to use the program. I just wanted to say that this is one of the best tutorial I’ve seen online.

7 years ago Simon showed us this method in Hitfilm Ultimate. It's a cool trick since ;) Thanx for the updated version!

Keep in mind you want to start with high resolution images, if not apply some blur to the backgrounds or fake some depth fog to hide the pixelation. If you have photoshop use it's content-aware-fill to create layers that have more overlap.Some other techniques using more involved techniques, projector effect(hitfilm pro) and displacement

Was wondering about exactly this pretty recently. Going to try experimenting!

[CyberDocUSA]

Wow, so many steps and things to remember. I'm a total noob!

i have a question. There is a software called Surgical Theater which takes any person's 2D MRI scan of the brain and stacks the images on top of each other to make a 3D model. It doesn't have a person that actually does the job like in this video and the 2D image it renders to 3D is always different. That means it's both dynamic and automatic. How does it do that??

That's Lake Braies here in Italy, stunning place in every season! Also, nice tutorial as usual :)

[madamejam]

Great tutorial. Can you do this with indoor pictures too ?

[DJapan]

I figured out how to do this myself many years ago. I was inspired by the intro from How I Met Your Mother.

Its a very handy software. I love to watch 3d composting but I am not to composit anything by myself because the lack of knowledge of 3d composting. Please help me to learn the basics of the 3d composting. So where I can to learn the basics?? Thanks

[isaactheanimator]

Yes I've been waiting for another tutorial of this!

[tiobezalel]

Does hitfilm has drop zone effect? So I can make like a circle shape of virtual choir

[unity]

i just downloaded this today and when following what your doing i don't have the same options to change the pictures to 2D. That part of mine is different. Could you help me please.

[mcmundn]

that moment when you made handdrawn depth maps instead of this technique... but very good to know

[suwin]

Really Nice Video!

But a question, when I finished a mask the colour from the thing that I masked changed. I now have checked inverted on every mask but I wanted to ask if I am doing something wrong?..

Thx in advance^^
