Integrating 3D Into Your Existing Pipeline

• The 3D Conundrum
• The more you view 3D during the course of the production, the more the production costs.
• You need to be able to view 3D at any stage of production for quality control purposes.

Day 3 – Sunday 13th June, 2010

Topics and Activities Time Duration
Morning Coffee 09:00 – 09:30 ~30 min
Dataflow, Lighting and Rendering in Stereoscopic 3D

• The Cost Versus Value Axioms in Stereoscopic 3D
• The more you spend, the better you want the work to look
• Sometimes, trying to do things the cheap way costs a lot  more money.
• Dataflow Strategies
• Build the stereoscopic camera on the fly as needed
• Carry the 3D camera rig throughout the
pipeline within the scene definition
9:30 – 10:30 ~1 hrs

Lunch 13:00 – 14:00 ~1 hr
Using flat 2D elements in your stereoscopic 3D shot

• Using 2D elements on cards in 3D space
• Should be planned in layout
• The further back in the scene a 2D card goes, the less problem the lack of relief becomes
• Sometimes, shading on a 2D card is enough of a depth queue as long as it matches the 3D lighting very well
• Making Stereoscopic Pairs From 2D Images
Afternoon Break (Coffee, Tea, Cake) 15:00 – 15:30 ~30 min
Using flat 2D elements in your stereoscopic 3D shot (cont… )

• Projecting 2D textures on simple 3D geometry
• Should be planned in layout
• The further back in the scene a 2D projection goes, the less    problem the lack accuracy in the 3D model becomes
• Sometimes, shading on a 2D card is enough to simulate modeled detail
15:30 – 16:30 ~1 hr
Q & A 16:30 – 17:00 ~30 min
