RE: MORE on the search for 2-d to 3-d conversions

[P3D Lincoln Kamm <3dstereo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have come up with a few different ways to convert 2-D to 3-D images with a
realistic roundness.  I use many different programs to accomplish this.  It
is not a simple proccess, and for right now I don't know anyone that has
develped similar techniques that are willing to share there secrets.  I had
spent many months figuring out how to do it, and since then, almost 2 years
developing the methods to make them better and easier.

There is no special program that has been created for this procces.  Most of
the people that have done it, developed it on thier own.  I have thought
about trying to teach people, but it is complicated enough, to make it
rather difficult to explain.  I don't know if a lot of people would spend
the time it takes to get used to it, so that it would't take a lot of time.
My first few images took close to 80 hours each to complete.  I have gotten
the time down on most images now to a few hours, but it has taken countless
hours of practice.

You can see some of my conversions at my web site.  But remember, thier is
no special software, and no button to push to create these kind of images,
they are a labor of love (or insanity).

I wish anyone luck that wants to try and come up with thier own way of doing
this, but I am sorry, I do not have the time to try and teach anyone.
