What are you using for depth map creation?

3D Depth Map Creation Workflow:

First: I am using a cheap program I got ages ago called MakeMe3D which is pretty much a glorified Pulfrich effect.  It detects motion between different frames (and detecting camera changes) and is able to make a decent 3d conversion for scenes with motion of sorts.  It actually stabalizes and adjusts the Pulfrich effect accordingly for the detected foreground and background.  This program allows me to get much of the base for the depth information.  Luckily this works better than usualy beacause pretty much every one of those shots has a decent amount of motion, for this to work really well.

I then pull that into 3D Combine, where it calculates a depth map for each frame, and I can make some further adjustments there.  For example, if one frame has an error or lack of detail, I can fill it in with into from the previous frames depth map.

Next, I pull that depth map into photoshop and make some frame-by-frame adjustments to add more detail and adjust contrast in the depth map.

Finally, pulling it into AE I can use put it as a layer synced with the original footage to use Camera Blur effect referencing the depth map to create the miniature effect.

I would really love to use YUVSoft's Stereo Processing Pro Suite, but it seems it's far too expensive and I don't even think you can get it for personal use anyhow.

Now if they had only still rereleased the rest of the PT in 3D (they had it finished!) and then came out with a 3D Bluray set...
