S T R A T A - The Power of 3D

Digital Photography at a Higher PowerStrata Foto 3D lets Photoshop users load a series of masked pictures to Foto 3D and return a real-time 3D object to a 3D layer in Photoshop CS3 Extended. Powered by patented model and texture generation technology, Foto 3D allows a 3D model to be created quickly and inexpensively while requiring no technical skill or expensive hardware.

Strata Foto 3D 1.5Strata Foto 3D is a powerful tool for creating professional quality 3D content from still images. A wide range of objects can be modeled including those with holes and 'difficult' organic shapes. Using a conventional camera, photos of your object on a printed mat are taken from a number of viewpoints in front of a plain backdrop. The shape of the object and its surface color are automatically extracted from each photo and this information is used to build a high quality 3D object.

The model can be sent to a 3D layer in Photoshop CS3 EX or imported into a 3D editing and rendering software such as Strata 3D CX. Finally, the model can be imported into Strata Live 3D for interactive 3D display within a website, flash file, or an Adobe Acrobat PDF document (without any plug-ins).

Photoshop Integration

Foto 3D 1.5 can load images directly from Photoshop CS3 Extended and return the real-time 3D model directly to Photoshop.

Automated MaskingWith the proper backdrop, Foto 3D does an excellent job of identifying your background and masking out your object automatically.

Surface OptimizationUsing the profile of your shape in each photo, Foto 3D automatically generates an accurate surface mesh. The more photos you have, the more accurate the mesh.

Auto Texture CreationUsing the same images, Foto 3D generates a photorealistic UV map for your object.

Interactive DecimationWhen it comes to the web, size matters. Foto 3D allows you to interactively control the number of polygons used to represent your object.
