Creating 3D animations from regular 2D images has long been thought impossible by researchers since three decades ago. Describing the geometry of objects to a computer was no easy task back then. Even research computers are so much slower than our current home computers.
But the time is different now. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University has announced that they
Thats amazing, i wonder if this will improve game graphics, and mean that everyday joe's can make games etc. i'll take a photo of my hourse and invent a game where your a sniper and spiderman stick his head of my house's windows, then you shoot him. You can change who you want to shoot. Maybe tony blair or george bush instead??
really really cool. the quality and cleaning of the "3d" image needs some improving but that doesn't kill the fact that it's a great idea
im falling to sleep with that music lawl
haha the music is terrible, agreed.
thats nothing, they already have a machine which can create an actual model of any 3d render/image you give it.
Yeah but i still reckon its a hoax :P
nah lol they showed one of them working... it made a model of a personQuote:

Cool, if they could get around the texture stretching and warping.
yeh :(Quote:

but stil its cool at this stage
That shit is making me nauseous
Immagine what it will be like in 10 years. O.O
NoPeace - out
That's really cool technology but it isn't amazing. All it does is see where the objects get smaller with perspective and give them 3d depth. In result the picture is just stretched along the Z axis.
i dunno how can it tell the depth of lines etc from a flat image :S ? i wanna be a 3D modeler so i hope its not right :(
if you look closely its actually not real 3d jsut a 2d image stretched out using a 3d program making it look like cheap 3d. the reason they only lead you down the street is caus enothing is actually "popping" out. for example in the second/third image(forget which already lol) theres a tree but if you look closely its still stuck onto the building like it would be in a 2d image. It nice that they got a computer to do it by itslef but its pretty easy to strecth something out making it seem 3d.
ye cause they couldnt get the back of the image from a flat file :D
ypu could still make it look like it sticks out. ever seen those cheap 3d book or "3d fruit by the foot" rolls? those look 3d-ish but this is just strecthed outQuote:

See, at best the program can make what we see into 3d, anything more and it would have to make lucky guesses (as human does, imaging what the picture doesn't give away). As soon as it starts guessing though, there will be errors. For example, look at those trees painted on the wall. If they had the program assume it's a separately standing tree, it would have to summon something imaginary behind it if the user wanted to see another perspective.
Machine vision it's a tricky thing. And something that's deffo going to be part of my uni studies along with A.I.
Something that bugs me, why'd any self-respecting "researcher" have said this is impossible.
Agreed 100%Quote:

Niave people.... I think thats the link, tell me if its wrong but dont expect a response straight away i am busy doing T.A.F.E work.
