Artificial Intelligence-based plugin for automatic depth estimation.
Depth Scanner is an Artificial Intelligence-based plug-in for automatic depth estimation. It creates depth maps from still images and even videos.
Now available for macOS (>11.5) and Windows!
Depth Scanner lets you create depth maps from images and videos. The resulting depth map can be used for a variety of post-processing tasks, like adding fog, converting footage to stereo 3d, and many more image effects.
Automatic depth estimation from images and videos
Use depth maps for…
Parallax mapping
Post-processed DoF
Depth based grading
Slicing effects
GPU support
NVIDIA cards supporting CUDA 10.2 and above can be used to greatly improve performance. Please note that the CPU version of the plugin will behave very slowly with bigger resolutions.
Additional Info
Compatibility
It runs on AE 2022 and above. Please test your configuration using the free trial before purchasing.
