Hey there Masuji, thank you for such a wonderful program. I see that you too enjoy Looking Glass Portrait. I'm sure you've probably downloaded hologram drops like the ones here:
https://lookingglassfactory.com/holograms/fractals
Have you noticed the videos of the portrait being turned back and forth? This gives you an idea of what the hologram will look like when put on your display. But these videos take a lot of time to create. One of the people from Looking Glass has to deploy each hologram and then take a video of them panning the Portrait back and forth.
I'm about to start releasing my own hologram drops and I would like to make this process easier for myself and for the Looking Glass employees. I think StereoPhoto Maker can help and I'd like to request a feature.
The feature would basically combine multiple features that SPM already supports into one. The automation would be:
1. Select a folder with a bunch of SBS Color + Depth images. 2. Load each SBS Color + Depth image. 3. Do Edit -> Depth map -> Create multiple images from 2D + depth map. 4. Enable Round trip, Depth map and intelligent F/R position 5. Generate image sequence 6. Convert image sequence to webm video (allow user to specify resolution) 7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for each SBS image in the folder.
Webm (vp9) is very important because it's like a high-quality animated gif with full color and very small file size. FFMPEG does support this format, it's just not currently an option presented in SPM.
It would also be nice to have a new HTML generator for this under the Web menu. Something like Web -> Make HTML 5 wiggle previews.
What do you think? Would any of this be possible? |
Actually, it looks like the Looking Glass website uses webp and not webm for the images. But FFMPEG supports this format too. For example:
ffmpeg -i wig.mp4 -c libwebp -loop 0 wig3.webp
The -loop 0 part is important, so it creates a looping image. |

Unfortunately, I don't understand what you want to do. Can you show me a sample (webp) of the video you want to make? |
