ComfyUI Node: 👀 SBS by SamSeen (Legacy)

👀 SBS by SamSeen (Legacy):

The SBS_External_Depthmap_by_SamSeen node is designed to facilitate the creation of immersive 3D content by generating side-by-side stereoscopic images using an external depth map. This node is particularly beneficial for artists and creators who wish to enhance their visual content with depth perception, providing a more engaging and realistic experience. By leveraging an external depth map, the node allows for precise control over the depth effect, enabling users to create either cross-eyed or parallel viewing modes. The primary goal of this node is to transform a base image into a stereoscopic image that can be viewed with 3D glasses or other stereoscopic viewing methods, enhancing the depth and dimensionality of the visual content.

👀 SBS by SamSeen (Legacy) Input Parameters:

base_image

The base_image parameter is the original image that you want to convert into a stereoscopic image. It serves as the foundation upon which the depth map will be applied to create the 3D effect. This image should be in a format that can be processed by the node, typically a standard image format like PNG or JPEG.

depth_map

The depth_map parameter is a crucial input that provides the depth information for the base image. It is used to determine how different parts of the image should be shifted to create the stereoscopic effect. The depth map can be in grayscale or RGB format, and it is essential for defining the perceived depth in the final 3D image.

depth_scale

The depth_scale parameter controls the intensity of the depth effect applied to the base image. It determines how much the image is shifted based on the depth map, affecting the overall 3D perception. A higher depth scale results in a more pronounced depth effect, while a lower scale produces a subtler effect. The value should be chosen based on the desired level of depth perception.

mode

The mode parameter specifies the viewing method for the stereoscopic image, with options such as "Cross-eyed" or "Parallel." This setting determines how the left and right images are arranged, affecting how the final image should be viewed to achieve the 3D effect. Choosing the correct mode is important for ensuring that the stereoscopic image is viewed correctly.

👀 SBS by SamSeen (Legacy) Output Parameters:

sbs_image

The sbs_image output is the final side-by-side stereoscopic image generated by the node. This image contains two versions of the base image, adjusted according to the depth map and depth scale, to create a 3D effect when viewed with the appropriate method (cross-eyed or parallel). It is the primary output that users will use for 3D viewing.

👀 SBS by SamSeen (Legacy) Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the depth map is accurately aligned with the base image to achieve the best 3D effect. Misalignment can lead to distorted or incorrect depth perception.
• Experiment with different depth scale values to find the optimal level of depth for your specific image. Too much depth can cause discomfort when viewing, while too little may not provide the desired 3D effect.

👀 SBS by SamSeen (Legacy) Common Errors and Solutions:

Error loading 👀 SBS by SamSeen (Legacy)

• Explanation: This error occurs when the node fails to import correctly, possibly due to missing files or incorrect installation.
• Solution: Ensure that all necessary files are present and correctly installed. Check the installation path and verify that the node is properly integrated into your environment.

Unusual depth map shape

• Explanation: This error indicates that the depth map provided does not have a standard shape or format that the node can process.
• Solution: Verify that the depth map is in a compatible format, such as grayscale or RGB, and ensure it matches the dimensions of the base image. If necessary, convert the depth map to a supported format before processing.
