Patent number: 9595296Abstract: Multi-stage production pipeline system that may be utilized in conjunction with a motion picture project management system. The multi-stage production pipeline system includes a computer and a database. The database includes metadata associated with at least one shot or associated with regions within the plurality of images in the at least one shot, or both. The computer includes a grouping tool interface for presenting user interface elements and accepting input of the metadata associated with the at least one shot or regions within the plurality of images in the at least one shot, or both. The system enables a large studio workforce to work non-linearly on a film while maintaining a unified vision driven by key creative figures, allowing for more consistent, higher quality, faster, less expensive work product and more efficient project management techniques. The system also enables reuse of project files, masks and other production elements across projects.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: LEGEND3D, Inc.Inventors: Barry Sandrew, Jared Sandrew, Nancy Wang, Craig Cesareo, James Prola, Jill Hunt, Anthony Lopez

Patent number: 9007365Abstract: A line depth augmentation system and method for conversion of 2D images to 3D images. Enables adding depth to regions by altering depth of lines in the regions, for example in cell animation images or regions of limited color range. Eliminates creation of wireframe or other depth models and complex modeling of regions to match the depth of lines therein. Enables rapid conversion of two-dimensional images to three-dimensional images by enabling stereographers to quickly add/alter line depth without artifacts in images for example lines in monochrome regions. Embodiments may output a stereoscopic image pair of images with lines having desired depth, or any other three-dimensional viewing enabled image, such as an anaglyph image. Although the lines may be of a different depth than the region they appear in, the human mind interprets the monochromatic region as having depth associated with the line.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2012Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Legend3D, Inc.Inventors: Barry Sandrew, Jared Sandrew, Jill Hunt, Tony Baldridge, James Prola
