Lewis MartinTrue Depth is a Blender add-on that transforms 2D images or videos into 3D geometry by generating detailed depth maps using artificial intelligence. The AI model runs locally on the user’s machine, with support for both CPU and GPU processing, offering speed and security without relying on external servers. Once processed, the result is a displaced 3D mesh that responds naturally to lighting, shadows, and camera effects within Blender—ideal for visualization, scene building, or 3D printing.
Key features:
• AI-Based Depth Generation: Converts 2D images or videos into depth maps using a locally-run AI model for enhanced detail and accuracy.
• One-Click 3D Conversion: Automatically displaces geometry from depth maps with a single operation.
• GPU Acceleration: Supports GPU processing for significantly faster performance, with optimal results on NVIDIA hardware.
• Offline Processing: Keeps all image and video data on the local machine, with no uploads or external servers involved.
• Displacement Controls: Includes parameters for adjusting strength, smoothing, tilt correction, and detail refinement.
• Texture and Alpha Support: Accepts PNG files with alpha channels and provides controls for texture visualization and masking.
• Model Size Options: Allows switching between small, medium, or large AI models based on system capabilities and project needs.
• Boolean Geometry Tools: Offers cleanup options for removing unwanted geometry via Boolean operations.
• Add Base for Printing: Adds a customizable solid base and end cap to prepare models for 3D printing.
• Format Compatibility: Supports OBJ export for use in 3D printing or external applications.
• 4K Image Processing: Capable of handling high-resolution images efficiently.
