Zform - Convert Depth Maps And Images To 3D Mesh

by Viz Life Studio in Addons


Quick Getting Started Guide

As a starting point, here's a quick getting started guide to using zForm that covers all the key areas including installation and using key features. It's very possible this video is sufficient to get you ready to go. 

UPDATES
v2.0.8 (12/08/2024)

  • "Apply All Modifiers" for Directory: There was an issue when clicking on "Apply All Modifiers" using the Directory feature that the material would incorrectly change frame by frame instead of being static. This issue has been fixed.
  • Error Handling for Directory: Added error handling when some images in a directory didn't have corresponding depth maps. 

v2.0.7 (11/27/2024)

  • UI improvements: Added a new button at the very top called "Expand All" that is used to expand or collapse all sections at one time.  

v2.0.6 (11/26/2024)

  • UI improvements: Each main section now has collapse / expand functionality to keep the user interface clean, while allowing me to add new features in the future without crowding the UI. 

v2.0.5 (11/25/2024)

  • Improve file path handling: There were some cases where file paths weren't handled correctly and this update fixed that.

v2.0.4 (11/24/2024)

  • Compatible with Blender 4.3: zForm is now fully compatible with Blender 4.3.

v2.0.3 (11/23/2024)

  •  Resolved Rotation and Mesh View Issues: Fixed rotation and mesh view compatibility issues in certain Blender versions.
  •  Modular Code Rebuild: Reorganized and rebuilt the project code with a modular structure to enhance scalability and support future development.

v2.0.2 (11/21/2024)

  •  Enhanced Handling of Missing Depth Maps: Added error handling to account for when images within a directory of images selected don't have associated depth maps to still proceed with applying depth maps for images that do.

v2.0.1 (11/20/2024)

  •  New functionality for Video and Image Sequences: Now you can generate 3D meshes from not just single images, but also videos and image sequences. I'm in the process of updating the full product page and snapshots of the tool to account for the new features. 

v1.0.4 (11/01/2024)

  • Alpha Transparency Support Added: Implemented support for images with alpha channels. This update allows you to toggle transparency for your images in the Material Properties section within the add-on. Please keep in mind this functionality only works for PNG files with alpha. 

v1.0.3 (10/31/2024)

  • Solidify Option Added: Introduced mesh thickness control with a new Solidify modifier. Users can now adjust the thickness of their depth-mapped meshes from  0 to 10 units, with a default value of 0.02.

v1.0.2 (10/25/2024)

  • Stay in your view: zForm will no longer reset to Front View each time you apply a new depth map. Now, you can remain in your preferred mesh view without needing to readjust it each time.
  • Increased max Smooth Factor: The maximum Smooth Factor has been raised from 2 to 6, giving you even greater control..
  • Applied rotation and scale: Rotation and scale are now automatically applied to the mesh, adding extra convenience for a smoother workflow.

v1.0.1 (10/13/2024)

  • NEW FEATURE: Added option to apply all modifiers within the tool.
