3-D question

Does anyone know how they create those 3-D looking TV ads where you see a still picture of something….say a baseball player swinging his bat, and the picture of him is a still photograph, but the TV camera is slowly moving from one side of the picture to the other and the batter, umpire, catcher, and everything else in the still picture looks as if they are on separate layers and each image is moving at a different rate as the TV camera is moving from one side to the other. This gives the images in the still picture a 3-D effect. How do they do that and is there a name for this type of picture?

There is a learning curve, but look into CS5’s "puppet" option.

Thanks John. I only have CS3 and I’m waiting for CS6 before I upgrade, so I’ll have to wait to check that out. I will look at it though. Thanks again!

An aside: it appears that Adobe will be releasing ‘point’ versions now. For example, I have version 5.5 which followed version 5 within a couple months.

You might want to check the intermediate upgrade option as upgrades often only count against only two versions back: it could be cheaper to upgrade to CS5 then CS6 rather than have to purchase a new CS6. I imagine both routes will be available for a short time after CS6 is released, and they might change their two-versions-back upgrade policy before then.

When did they change that? It’s always been three versions back, which is why I’m waiting for version CS6. I was just reading in one of the forums that a guy upgraded from CS2 to CS5 and had a question about some tool. Apparently he was able to upgrade 3 versions, so I’m wondering if Adobe is changing that when CS6 comes out?
