These templates are really well done. The setup is very intuitive and I got some pretty good first test results even without checking the documentation (so far I tried AI and portrait, the other 3 are next). I recently did some other depth map effects manually (from scratch) before, and that also came out nicely, but it took a lot longer and the best I could do was some very basic depth map and parallaxing effect. Well done, this is definitely worth it!

The depth map is needed to tell to AE how your picture is in the 3D space, not using it would be like animating a plane si the answer is no.

It sucks that the only composition mode you can use is a 4K screen, you can't use a smaller screen size

[@Cream-FX]

Hello and first of all thank you for your purchase ! Volumax is in 4k but that doesn’t impact viewport or export speed, everything is optimized to go fast and After Effects is very smart with rescaling pictures nowadays. The advantage of working with 4K compositions here is to get extra detail and sharpness in the 3D Effects without loosing speed. You have to setup your viewport resolution factor to 1/4 Quarter to get realtime feedback. Important ! : Always export at the resolution you need to get it to work fast, you can use the new export presets (video tutorial included) Here are my settings : Adobe Media Encoder - H264 - 1080p (1920x1080) Export times are 4X times faster in 1080P than in 4K ! Finally keep in mind that some effects like Depth of Field / Particules / Flares will slow down the process, I recommend animating before and to finish with special effects.
