I tried turning a still of the Death Star into “3D” using a displacement map to make it look like it was turning slowly and it seems like it could be pretty convincing.https://vimeo.com/360161256 (password: fanedit)
Wow, this is excellent. How much work did this take? Are you planning to tackle any other shots or is this just a proof of concept for Adywan to follow up on?
It’s just a test, it might give Adywan some ideas. Or I might apply the effect on some actual shots if someone would like to use it in an edit. It took some time to figure out the best settings and tweak the depth map (which is the magic ingredient) but now that I have the basics set up it would take less time to adapt the effect for other shots.
