Triaxes StereoTracer is a specialized software application used by 3D artists, stereographers, and print studios to convert 2D images or stereo pairs into multi-angle, glasses-free 3D formats. It primarily prepares content for high-quality lenticular printing or advanced holographic and autostereoscopic displays. Key Features for Professional 3D Artists 1. Advanced Depth-Map Processing
Automated Map Creation: The software automatically calculates grayscale depth maps from a single 2D image, where pixel gradation denotes distance from the viewer.
Dual-Frame Stereo Calculation: When a stereo pair is provided, the software calculates depth maps for both frames. This gives artists a genuine, realistic “look behind” effect around foreground objects.
External Editor Support: Artists can seamlessly import custom, highly precise depth maps painted or sculpted in external tools like Adobe Photoshop. 2. High-Density Multiview Rendering
Eliminating “Jitter”: To combat the transition artifacts known as “time smear” or “jitter” in 3D prints, StereoTracer can generate massive frame series—often 100 to over 200 individual perspective angles from a single source image and depth map.
Horizontal Panning Simulation: The rendering engine precisely simulates a physical camera slider moving across a horizontal plane to generate accurate parallax changes. 3. Seamless Hardware & Display Integration
Holographic Display Exports: StereoTracer can generate 45-view images natively formatted for playback on glasses-free hardware like the Looking Glass 3D Display.
Autostereoscopic TV Formats: It natively generates 2D+Depth formats for commercial autostereoscopic screens, such as Philips/Dimenco AS3D displays.
Stereo Camera Support: It features direct compatibility with native stereo file formats, such as the MPO format used by historical and modern multi-lens cameras. 4. Fine-Tuning Parallax Controls StereoTracer – triaxes.com
