Fixed update notification link : should go directly to gumroad instead of 404 the next update ;>
v1.002 Update:
Added Batch Processing operator for PLANE and SCREW modes. Uses last used settings: Load 1 image with regular method to fine tune settings before batching an entire folder.
There is a chance I make bool mode possible to batch: ~0.01% chance atm.
v1.001 Update:
Better Dissolve (and just one now) Worst Case-ish example : 1K @ ~1 minute with 12C Threadripper (2017) No multithreading jfyi.
User RGB instead of Alpha option (in add-on prefs) Note: The opacity tolerance is kind of reversed for RGB; use lower values.
Note:
Developed & Tested on Win10 (& Linux) Blender 3.0.
I did not know about shadowbox, but that seems to be more for ideation?
i2m was created mostly for situations where you (a concept artist or FX artist) needs a picture turned into 3d in your scene, quickly. i2m can save you time if you don’t need perfect results, or save setup-time as a head-start if you need do more accurate manual modeling.
But, I suppose you could actually use i2m in a similar way to shadowbox, if you edit the image layers and just update & re-run (I’d recommend not using the dissolve modes for quicker updates in lower working res for “near” realtime updates in such a case)
Hey, thanks!
Sure, that could be an interesting method: I’d probably add an option in add-on prefs where one can pick an RGB value or Alpha. (So any color can be used) Next version ;> (RGB will be slightly slower but shouldn’t matter much)
P.S
New Dissolve method also coming in next version. A bit better
Edit: Done, v1.001
Insane! Now the only thing missing is the RGB color selector on-screen in the menu since different images could have different backgrounds. But holy guacamole, I love this. Thanks.
p.s. If it did, that would be a worst case scenario: If you find a version with an alpha-channel, expect long process times & very high polycount. jfyi.
