[@peternicholson4417]

Jaw droppingly wow! So my 35mm stills from 40 years ago may become 3D animation?! When I was a child there wasn't even TV, now I am making websites using technology that was not even dreamed of even when I was a young adult. My computing started with punch cards and paper tape, now even 2D pics become 3D! Keep on dreaming up the creativity tools to make things better and evolve the difference. Vive la difference!

[@Cream-FX]

Thank you Peter ! Your comment is inspiring to create even better tools in the future ! 😉

@@Cream-FX Hey Gaetan, I currently have a complex image that I intend to precisely layer within Photoshop before bringing into AE (as a lot of the elements require animation). Will this still work okay with your vol max?

[@alexandrereverend8247]

Super boulot. Merci juste de me confirmer un truc : les objets placés au premier plan peuvent-ils ne pas glisser visuellement à mesure que la caméra avance ou panotte ? Dommage qu'il faille placer les personnages en milieu ou fond de scène pour atténuer ce fort effet de glissement qui donne l'impression qu'ils ne sont pas vraiment positionnés là où on souhaite qu'ils soient.

[@Cream-FX]

Bonjour et merci pour votre achat. Il faut régler la position en Z de l'objet dans les paramètres afin de définir sa position dans l'espace, il y a un tuto vidéo inclus (objects). 😉

Amazing template. What happens if put more than 3 masks per layer?

[@Cream-FX]

Thanks. If you put more than 3 masks per layer it explodes ! ;) No it will just not uses the 4th mask, but to be honest you will not use very often more than 3 masks. It was created that way for optimization reasons, more mask would slow down AE too much.

Hi Gaetan. I got volumax and im wondering can you put the controller on a curved motion path or ellipse instead of just straight line keyframes?

[@bradleylambert3284]

Hi, I'm pretty new to this stuff, I don't know if you have any experience with Affinity Photo but could you use Affinity instead of Photoshop to create the different photo layers? I know that you can do a lot of this in AE but some things you need Photoshop for like you did with the people diving into the water. I've seen videos of people removing say a person as an example and then filling in the background with Affinity and it seems to work quite well, could this be done with Affinity instead of Photoshop in your opinion? You can export these different layers I believe although I am new to Affinity but it does seem like it is possible. Cheers

[@Cream-FX]

Hello and thank you for your interest. After effects is essential for Volumax but you can use any image software other than Photoshop to setup your layers. 😉

[@bradleylambert3284]

@@Cream-FX Great. I have After Effects, but very recently but I wouldn't want to pay the monthly fee for Photoshop just for this functionality. I have bought a few things for After Effects as I am new so it will help me make videos quickly and this is one I really want but I only have Affinity Photo. Thanks for the quick reply I will be buying this next week when I have the money as I just bought some other templates/presets so will have to wait till next week but am looking forward to messing around with it.

[@augustoconverti2218]

What if you wanted to add an animated trim path inside a scene? Is it possible tu do it or it only works with footage?

[@Cream-FX]

Hello, I am not sure to understand your needs, VoluMax was designed to transform pictures (or videos) in 3D Animations but a lot of things are possible with AE.

[@troyds]

Hi! Great framework! Awesome effects! I just want to ask, is it normal for the exported file to have a file size of 5gb for a 7 seconds 2d to 3d file? I just followed the tutorial, and then exported the file to adobe after effects, then it says "best settings" on the quality. Then I just click Render. When I looked at the file size of the exported finish product, I saw the HUGE 5gb size for a 7 seconds clip.

[@Apollyion]

By default on Windows After effects exports lossless AVI video file if I remember correctly, which is the best quality but gives huge file sizes. To get a smaller file with almost no quality loss for viewing purposes use Adobe Media Encoder to render out your After Effects edit to something like mp4. It's a standalone software, and if you have it downloaded you should see an option in AE that automatically opens AME for rendering. For rendering you can choose a preset for KZbin, or simply tweak setting on your own. There's also an approximation gauge that tells you the output file size so you can tweak according to your needs. AE by default can't render many formats so you have to use AME.

[@dama9374]

Can I watch it in a VR headset like HTC vive if not is there a way to convert 2d flat photo into immersive 3d VR 180 steroscopic (with depth) photo in order to watch it in VR? ( Note: does not have to support 6dof)

To be honest I don't know... I never tried VR with AE

[@zootsoot2006]

My problem so far using this template is that it seems it can only be used effectively on one kind of photo, with a large backdrop and well-defined features in the foreground. What about photos that have less well-defined features, e.g. a forest scene? Is it possible to work on these photos effectively using this template?

[@Cream-FX]

VoluMax can work on many kind of pictures like lanscapes or portraits, the foreground is not necessary but of course it will add some extra 3D impression. There are many examples in the official trailer.

[@Cream-FX]

First of all I am sorry for your loss. No you won't be able to do that. VoluMax can animate a picture to give the impression it is in 3d Like a movie.

[@amandawilliams4264]

Thank you! Hopefully either the technology evolves to that point or I get extremely practiced at 3D sculpting soon.

[@dinhlesybk]

pl show me how to use for 1080 (instead of 4K default)

[@Cream-FX]

There is no 1080P version. Volumax is in 4k but that does’t impact viewport or export speed, everything is optimized to go fast and After Effects is very smart with rescaling pictures nowadays. Just import and make your pictures fit in the "Your Picture" composition, AE will do the rescaling job nicely. For proof the official trailer of VoluMax was done with 720p, 1080p and 4K pictures and finally exported in 1080P video.
