Deprecated Fathom Discussion

Hey guys,

thanks for having me on the alpha! Great stuff already.
It took me some time to get everything up and running on Win8, but finally I was able to do some testing.

Check it out:

I used Fathom to record the video & depth (no pointcloud) and piped that into thinking particles. In tp I smoothed out the position data coming from the depth pass and the color data coming from the video to get rid of the jittering and color changes you usually get.

cheers,
Fabian

hi fabian

how did you pipe the depth map into TP for it read it and produce a correct 3d result?
or are they just displaced based on black and white values?

Hey,

here is the scenefile (Max 2011). Just replace the depth and video maps in the material editor.
