What's new in 3DMasterKit 10.7.1
Jul 18, 2022
- What’s new:
- Copy/paste layer via the clipboard.
- Fixed:
- Opening jpg files in some cases caused the program to crash.
New in 3DMasterKit 10.6.3 (Jun 14, 2022)
- What’s new:
- Quality control for the video export to MP4 format.
- Increased Font size of the pitch value in the pitch test.
- Additional image export quilt formats for Looking Glass Factory 3D displays.
- Changes:
- 3DMasterKit Photo A6 edition has been added. All 3DMasterKit software features are available in this configuration (add external frame series, working with layers and depth maps, etc.). The size of created lenticular images is limited to 150×150 mm (6″x6″).
- Fixed:
- Depth map generation for layers with RGB images (for example, added from .jpg files).
- Saving of frameshift and encoding settings in *.mtp projects.
- Order of layers after opening a .psdd template saved from 3D Live Vue. The position of layers now corresponds to the position on the Depth scale.
- Automatic file name formation when exporting images for Looking Glass Factory displays is corrected to provide compatibility with HoloPlay Studio.
New in 3DMasterKit 10.5 (Oct 1, 2020)
- Fixed bugs:
- Error while saving the project in .MTP: resaving does not save modified layers and frames;
- In the Pitch Test dialog, the values in inches change to mm when changing the Mode;
- The Set Visible On All Layers button switches generation to Auto N in the Multiview generation dialog;
- Lenticular tab: the specified picture size is reset to the Crop rect size after each encoding (interlacing);
- Layers from .PSD files were added to position 100. Now they are added to the mid-position (0);
- Error: if the Background parallax value is 0, then the Foreground parallax is applied incorrectly to the layer depth map;
- Problem with the “transparency” of the layer after editing in an external editor;
- The problem with saving layers in the .MTP project (when there are no images in the frames list);
- Error in saving the values of the depth map factor in the .MTP project.
New in 3DMasterKit 10.1 (Jun 7, 2020)
- New features
- “Layer to image size” added to the context menu of the layer;
- “Auto resize layer to image size” added to the “Settings” dialog.
- These functions allow you to make editing of layers and depth maps in external editors more stable and predictable. This is especially important when working with an external Adobe Photoshop editor and depth maps that are larger than the layer size.
- Changes
- Removed automatic depth map scaling. Previous versions of the program, when connecting to a depth map layer, reduced the depth map size to the layer size. This could lead to distortion of the depth map and difficult-to-detect errors.
- Added support for depth map larger than the layer image. If an image and a depth map are loaded as layers in the project, the depth map can be connected to the layer based on their relative location.
- Fixed bugs
- error exporting mp4 if there were spaces in the path.
- Legend: error with the lenticular encoding when the mirroring option.
- Legend: bug with the name of the encoded lenticular file.
New in 3DMasterKit 10.0 (Apr 21, 2020)
- What’s new:
- New tool – Parallax measurer or Parallaxometer – allows you to accurately measure the parallax and predict 3D effect of the printed 3D image;
- Extended number of processed frames for all software editions. For 3DMasterKit 10 Pro: max N=512, max Lenticular LPI=600, max Resolution 9600 PPI.
- New ability to edit as layer’s image, as their depth maps in an external editor;
- New ability to choose different color schemes of the user interface. The new dark theme of the interface allows you to focus on the image and reduce fatigue;
- Toolbar icons can be enlarged. Now the software is compatible with high-definition displays;
- The Pitch Test dialog can be opened without adding images to the project;
- New image export format for the Looking Glass holographic displays;
- New example and video tutorial on 2D-to-3D image conversion.

- Enhancements:
- Encoding has sped up by 25%;
- Better encoding/saving of large-format images (more than 4 Gb);
- Improved computational model used to apply depth maps to layers. 3D rendering results have become more predictable. That simplifies 2D-to-3D conversion.
- Fixed:
- A big list of bugs (more than 30) and drawbacks;
- Reading of jpg files taken with new cameras;
- Software crashes when opening the Pitch Test dialog.

- Decimal values support for the print resolution (PPI) when the pitch-test is generated;
- File naming for exporting is updated.
- Fixed:
