3D from 2D image - IV

... or else, my way.

This video is part of an ad (Lifedrops) for KINO. It is created with Flint from 3-5 photos in about 40 hours (I will need a product like this for sure).
- First, each part of the photo was isolated (floor, walls, etc).
- Some painting and distortion was the next step.
- Then, a suitable geometry was constructed for each element in the scene (a simple plane was the majority) and positioned.
- The isolated pieces were mapped to the corresponding geometries and voila.

3D from 2D image - II

I am curious, what will be the result of the system below if the input is one photo of a street art piece photographed from the right angle (like the one on the left) or paintings of Andrea Pozzo?

ps: Some notes about Anamorphic Perspective.

Nice sculpture.
