Turn 2D into 3D!

A few steps to a finished animal animation: researchers at the Max Planck Institute are developing software to create animated 3D models of animals from videos.

With newly developed software, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics shows which methods can be used to obtain 3D models in addition to classic modelling and 3D scanning: fully animated models can be extracted from animal videos using a simple user interface.

You can find further details here on the institute’s website.
