3dsmax file and textures for all my patrons: patreon.com/EloiAndaluz
Lets create a 3D image from a simple 2d photography.
Thanks to camera match in 3ds max is very simple to get the correct camera point of view.
With camera map we will project the photo on our basic 3d model for a nice parallax effect.
We will replace complex objects like trees or flowers by 3d collection models and we will see how to use rendertotexture to bake illumination information.
Finally we will use make preview to generate our final image, in this case its around 2seconds a frame for fullhd resolution on an old laptop with a 960M gtx. Recording this video and doing the 2d to 3d conversion took me 2 hours (with some sections recording it multiple times), so even this scene is simple and could be totally redone without camera projection, is a really fast approach, and can be very useful when we have a final image and we just want to give some light animation to it. Also is very cost effective in rendertimes.
This is the camera map script Im using: effectivetds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=313&hilit=camera+map
