3D Models From Your Digital Camera

Strata Foto 3D CX lets you use a standard digital camera to capture real-world objects as fully textured 3D models. Its ideal for difficult to model objects like organic shapes, soft forms and hand made items.

The included Photoshop plug-in makes model creation even easier. Foto 3D models are ideal for developing packaging, games, illustrations, online catalogs and more. Just import models into Strata Design 3D CX or virtually any other 3D software.

Powered by patented technology developed by Canon and Creative Dimension Software, Foto 3D is digital photography at a higher power.


Features & Benefits Reviews & Awards Case Studies & Videos
Sophisticated Camera Support
Strata Foto 3D CX provides automatic camera support to deal with lens distortion, focal length and image factors specific to particular camera models. Correcting these factors ensures the highest possible fidelity in model capture.

Automated 3D Space Orientation
A special calibration mat - which can be printed out directly from Strata Foto 3D CX - aids the software in generating 3D model data. This mat allows Foto 3D to calculate where the camera is in 3D space for each image. This orientation information then allows Foto 3D to automatically capture features from the images to build the 3D object.

Feature Pinning - Allows the Use of Any Photo Set
For projects that don't allow for use of the calibration mat Strata Foto 3D CX now provides direct control using a pin user interface. This allows you to specify the surface area details important to a high quality capture. This new feature allows the use of photograph sets from virtually any source - including video frames, aerial photos and any large object that cannot be brought into a studio setting.

Integrate with Adobe Photoshop for Model Creation
Part of the process of generating a model from photographs involves separating the background from the object. Foto 3D provides powerful color-key tools to automate this process. In addition to these powerful tools, Adobe Photoshop is supported directly with a plug-in, allowing you to easily use Photoshop's features to get the job done.

Interactive Model Adjustment
Once the geometry is generated, Strata Foto 3D CX gives you the ability to interactively modify the surface polygon detail ("decimation"). A clipping plane is also provide allowing you to trim the base of the model to ensure a flat base where desired.

Send 3D Models Back to Photoshop Extended
For owners of the Extended version of Photoshop, models can be sent as a 3D layer to include in your projects. From there the 3D object can be painted on, rotated, lighting adjusted, etc.

Take Your Models to the Strata 3D Suite
Strata Foto 3D CX models can easily be brought into Strata Design 3D CX and Strata Live 3D CX to continue the creative journey to wherever you desire.
