  3D Digital Stage

  Posted by Maxwelldub on May 1, 2007 at 9:38 pm

  Hi all. I’ve got this idea, and I’m wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. Basically, I am trying to stitch together a 3D set compiled from pictures I’ve taken. I want the camera to be able to move around all angles of the set, and I’m wondering what software I should use? I was thinking after effects for the editing, but what should I stitch the photos with to make a 360 degree set?

  Thanks,
  -Max

  If you want anything more than flat planes involved in the set then you’d better look into a 3D package like Cinema 4D, Studio Max, Maya or some other simpler (cheaper) package. AE will only give you postcards in space (which works alright for walls).

  Stitching photos together to make a panorama can be done in Photoshop under File>Automate>Photomerge.

  My 2 cents,

  Import the pix into AE, convert them to 3D layers, arrange them like walls in a corridor. Then move the camera in the corridor focusing on the pix as the camera flys by…sort of a picture gallery thingy…Hope this will shed an idea or two

  Have Fun!
