Method of creation of a virtual three dimensional image to enable its reproduction on planar substrates

摘要

A method of creation of a virtual three dimensional image to enable its reproduction on at least one planar substrate includes creating a virtual three dimensional space that includes a ground plane. A virtual model of an object is merged into the virtual three dimensional space and located at a desired position on the ground plane. A first virtual camera is placed at a first position in the virtual three dimensional space. Virtual lighting is added to the virtual three dimensional space to create shadows of the virtual model on at least the ground plane. The first virtual camera is used for rendering of the virtual model and the shadows to obtain a rendered image. The virtual model is removed and the rendered image is projected onto the ground plane. A second virtual camera is placed vertically above the projection of the rendered image on the ground plane and is used to capture the virtual three dimensional image of the projection of the rendered image on the ground plane to enable reproduction of the virtual three dimensional image on the at least one planar substrate.

1. A method of creation of a virtual three dimensional image to enable its reproduction on at least one planar substrate, the method comprising:
creating a virtual three dimensional space that includes a ground plane; merging a virtual model of an object into the virtual three dimensional space and locating the virtual model at a desired position on the ground plane; placing a first virtual camera at a first position in the virtual three dimensional space; adding virtual lighting to the virtual three dimensional space to create shadows of the virtual model on at least the ground plane; using the first virtual camera to obtain a rendered image of the virtual model and the shadows; removing the virtual model and projecting the rendered image onto the ground plane using a virtual light projector from the position of the first virtual camera; placing a second virtual camera, in the form of an orthographic virtual camera, vertically above a center of the projection of the rendered image on the ground plane and using the second virtual camera to capture the virtual three dimensional image of the projection of the rendered image on the ground plane to enable reproduction of the virtual three dimensional image on the at least one planar substrate; and wherein, the virtual lighting is selectable to match the lighting of the intended location of the virtual three dimensional image.
