While In-Three has been perfecting Dimensionalization, demand for 3D content has been steadily rising, and Hollywood has been answering the call with an impressive string of block buster 3D films which are not only driving an accelerated 3D production schedule for new films, but is also making the industry look at their catalogue titles films in a new light and think about how they can be repackaged in 3D.Īlex Torres of In-Three explains: “At the heart of 3D Dimensionalization is a process for creating stereoscopic depth, in which we isolate literally hundreds of objects within a single image.Īs this process evolved, we realized that, at its core, was a substantial roto effort. And their timing couldn’t have been better.


By 2005, In-Three had developed a workflow and a deep understanding of what goes into a successful 3D conversion. What started as a R&D initiative in 2000 to discover methods to convert 2D movies to 3D developed over the next five years into an evolving practice. Thus begins the white paper written by the founders of In-Three and the creators of an innovative 2D to 3D conversion process they’ve created called Dimensionalization. This helps us determine the way we use our tools to create the desired impact, at an appropriate cost and in an appropriate time frame.” When we convert films to 3D, we think in terms of the style and the degree of Dimensionalization required for each scene. “Dimensionalization, the process of creating a 3D image from a 2D image, provides film directors with a level of artistic control that is generally not obtainable using stereo cinematography or automated techniques such as those using motion detection.
