ComfyUI Extension: SideBySide_Stereoscope

ComfyUI_SSStereoscope Introduction

ComfyUI_SSStereoscope is an innovative extension designed to transform your 2D images into immersive 3D content. Developed by the author, this tool is perfect for AI artists looking to add depth and dimension to their creations without needing specialized 3D cameras or external depth maps. By leveraging advanced AI depth estimation, ComfyUI_SSStereoscope automatically generates high-quality depth maps, allowing you to create stunning stereoscopic images and videos that can be viewed on VR headsets, 3D displays, or even with simple cross-eyed or parallel viewing techniques. This extension is ideal for creating virtual reality content, 3D animations, and image sequences that truly pop with realistic depth.

How ComfyUI_SSStereoscope Works

At its core, ComfyUI_SSStereoscope uses AI-powered depth estimation to convert 2D images into 3D content. Imagine looking at a flat painting and suddenly being able to see the layers of depth within it, as if you could step into the scene. This is achieved by generating a depth map, which is a grayscale image where lighter areas represent objects closer to the viewer and darker areas represent those further away. The extension then uses this depth map to create a side-by-side (SBS) stereoscopic image, which can be viewed in 3D using various techniques. This process is automated, making it accessible even to those without technical expertise in 3D modeling.

ComfyUI_SSStereoscope Features

ComfyUI_SSStereoscope offers a range of features to enhance your 3D content creation:

• Automatic Depth Map Generation: The extension uses AI to automatically create depth maps from your 2D images, eliminating the need for external depth sources.
• Stereoscopic Image Creation: Convert your images into SBS 3D format, suitable for VR headsets and free-viewing techniques.
• Video Processing Tools: Convert videos into image sequences, process them for depth, and recombine them into 3D videos with integrated audio.
• Customizable Parameters: Adjust depth scale, blur radius, and viewing mode to fine-tune the stereoscopic effect to your liking.

ComfyUI_SSStereoscope Models

The extension includes different nodes for various 3D conversion needs:

• SBS V2 by SamSeen: This is the primary node for automatic depth estimation and stereoscopic conversion. It is ideal for users who want a quick and easy way to create 3D content.
• SBS by SamSeen (Legacy): This node allows for custom depth map input, giving advanced users complete control over the stereoscopic effect.

What's New with ComfyUI_SSStereoscope

Recent updates have introduced integrated video processing tools, making it easier than ever to create 3D videos. The new workflow allows you to convert videos into image sequences, process each frame for depth, and recombine them into a final 3D video, all within the extension. This seamless integration eliminates the need for external tools, streamlining your 3D video creation process.

Troubleshooting ComfyUI_SSStereoscope

If you encounter issues while using ComfyUI_SSStereoscope, here are some common solutions:

• Model Download Issues: Ensure you have a stable internet connection for automatic model downloads. If problems persist, follow the manual installation instructions provided in the documentation.
• GPU Memory Limitations: For high-resolution processing, consider reducing image dimensions or using CPU mode if GPU memory is limited.
• Depth Map Quality: Adjust the blur radius to achieve smoother depth transitions and more natural effects.
• Incorrect Depth Perception: If the depth appears inverted, toggle the invert_depth parameter to correct it.
