2D to 3D Conversion - How is it achieved?

• 3D rendering is the process of producing a digital image, based on 3D
  information of the subject entered into a computer.
• The computer will represent the data in the form of a rendered (colored) 3D
  image. The goal is to produce an image that is as “life like” as possible.
• Initially the computer will generate a basic rendering, but with the gradual
  addition of real world conditions, a life like effect will be produced.

The following attributes are what collectively contribute to a photo-realistic image,
all are controlled by you.

• Colour

• Perspective

• Lighting

• Textures / Surfaces

• Shadows

• Reflections

• Backdrops / Scenery (plain Colour, graduated or image based)

• Environments

• Effects—Lens flare etc

Please look at the following working example:
