@ulfnaij yep i agree. i got my Canon EOS 5D and i was searching for a killer software to edit my captured photos. Between this photo effect maker software requires a very little knowledge to edit photos for beginners. i got it from here --> bit.ly/KnYgG5?=rfhlws

LOL... that is exactly what I think of every time I see this video! LOL

How??

[TheChainsOFMisery]

well,this is not actually 3d,is it...its more like an illusion of 3d

still pretty cool tho'

nice work check 3dpower.in

Look at the date: Jun 16, 2006. I don't believe adobe has these effects at that time. Most probably Adobe developed this and add it as a feature.

cut the bull ...reasearches??? its an adobe after efects easy job...you can just try on youtube  search: AFTER EFECTS tutorial TRANSFORMING 2D PICTURES INTO 3D...you will figure out!

Well they don't mention anywhere that this is for end users of film production software. This is more suitable as a basis for further artificial intelligence research. With this algorithm, robots can reconstruct 3d environments from 2d photos/images. There are already algorithms to extract 3d data using tacking, but there you need a stable motion.

Well, I can agree with you about the research part. I also agree with you that nothing comes perfect for the first time. But for example I work in a film production studio and we never use automatic projections, as far as it goes a wrong way. It's much more easy to make it manualy and it will be much better result which is ready for a film as a final shot. Yes, we are consumers of the software we use but in the same time we don't use any automatical stuff because it usualy works bad.

you probably never heard of progress... you know that it doesn't happen overnight, right? for you to be able to have camera projection in 3dmax or AE, decades of research like this were conducted. look at early digital 3d tests, they were nothing but straight green lines on a tiny black monitor. now we have Avatar and all such things. and you take it for granted since you only consume what already was created for you, and not research/produce anything decent,
