You're not good modeling with 3D software? 3-Sweep is for you

I've seen it on blenderartists forum and do not know if it is true or fake. Apparently still no software publication.
More than the 3D conversion I'm surprised with the smart inpainting method used when the object is moved or removed.

Just hope it's OpenSource code and they not sell the technology to Adobe :mrgreen:

If only this was true; I may even pay up to $100 for it. Think it's just a pipe dream thoug but did enjoy the show Yafu

I hope it's true and I hope it's open source but it looks a little too good to be true. We might be pleasantly surprised, who knows?

It seems true and about be OS , i am not sure about the practical implementation but the theoretic bases are well explained here

Ariel Shamir was also one of the developers of Liquid Rescale (not of the gimp plugin but of the algorithm behind ) and seems probable that here could happen the same:

As for Liquid Rescale , Adobe or who else may use the principle for one of its commercial product (now is included in PhotoShop) and others may use for OS.

I am not a lawyer and are gazillions of different licences
but i believe that nobody may prevent others to be inspired by the detailed info that Ariel Shamir and his colleagues shared at the Siccograph

It's neat how it is able to create a cylindrical 3D form by tracing the contour of a high contrast pixel image. And the way it automatically maps the image to the 3D mesh. Has to be a mesh. And then bend and turn it right away. I get the fealing that it's not as easy as they make it appear though. And the 3D mesh is probably not that great looking if you could see it without the image mapped to it. But it looks really cool for image manipulation.

Looks like the same guy that gave us seam carving is the one behind this project so it's legit (and when I first saw seam carving many years ago, I was skeptical about that too and of course I was wrong; lol). Just hope he doesn't sell out to Adobe again.

This is all looking very impressive.

@PhotoComix, lylejk: Thanks for the information.

So this is definitely true. Very good!
