png3D image-to-3D guides

Practical guides to choosing an image, understanding single-image depth, and reviewing 3D-style motion effects with png3D.

Guides

Create a 3D-style motion effect from a still photo, understand single-view depth estimation, and review the limits of inferred hidden areas.

Choose clear photos with distinct subjects and backgrounds for image-based 3D motion, then inspect edges and artifacts before use.

Learn how portraits respond to image-based depth effects, what to inspect around hair and facial features, and why results are not 3D scans.

See how a single illustration can gain parallax-style motion, what linework to inspect, and why the result is not a modeled character.

Compare png3D circle, swing, zoom-in, and dolly-zoom-in effects and learn why motion previews are not 3D model exports.

Prepare a still image for a 3D-style motion effect with practical framing, source-quality, edge-review, and troubleshooting advice.
