Does anyone with basic technical knowledge know if such a hobby is even feasible? I can’t work a “real” job but would love to learn more. I don’t want to waste resources if it’s not even remotely possible. |
I'd like to see all classic 3-D films digitally mastered in 3D, but converting classic 2d films to 3D would be a lot of work. I don't know how much tools can improve, but as things are currently done, there is an extensive amount of manual work involved to produce 3-D worth watching. It is beyond the scope of one person.
I've tried my hand at doing 3D conversions of 2d still images, and that is certainly doable on a hobby basis, but still requires a lot of work to get good results.
