It's about a special effects system that lets you cut the time it takes to convert 2D to 3D.

In general, the video expression technology used in domestic and international film and drama production is mainly used in the 2D format photo-realistic shooting and the image obtained by live-action shooting in 3D using computer graphics is mainly used.

For example, since 2D photographing is required primarily for moving images of a robot, an actor wearing a special accessory usually produces a motion to obtain 2D photographing.

At this time, the special props correspond to the robot costumes made to fit the body of the performer to perform the motion or the props to be worn separately.

However, in the 2D photorealistic shooting step, since the filmed image produced by the actor wearing a special accessory is photographed, the movement of the actor wearing the robot costume is unnatural, and the voice output from the robot itself or the operation of the robot, for example, It is difficult to express special effects such as the beam of light is irradiated from the eye or the beam of light is irradiated with a light sword used as a prop.

Therefore, in order to obtain a natural image without the unreasonable movement of the robot, it goes through a 3D computer graphics step, for example, through an image editing step of synthesizing the image to which the light beam is irradiated from the voice or eye.
