VisionDepth3D v3.6 Release

This update is all about quality and speed. A brand-new Depth Blender tab lets you mix models with precision for cleaner separation and smoother parallax, while HDR10 handling has been rebuilt to preserve true 10-bit color and metadata. The experimental Live 3D pipeline makes its debut, turning capture cards, consoles, and webcams into real-time 3D feeds. Upscaling and interpolation have been overhauled with threaded workers, dropping render times from 10 hours to ~1 hour on long projects. Add in clip-range rendering, direct Left/Right output, smarter padding, codec fixes, and a full UI overhaul — v3.6 is the most refined and flexible VisionDepth3D yet.

1) Upscaling & Interpolation – Massive Speed Boost

  • Rewritten Frames tab pipeline with threaded workers + queues
  • RIFE, ESRGAN, and FFmpeg writing now run concurrently instead of sequentially
  • Intelligent frame indexing and buffering preserve order while maximizing throughput
  • Render time reduced from 10 hours → ~1 hour on long clips
  • Result: creators can upscale and interpolate full-length videos in a fraction of the time without crashes or dropped frames

2) Depth Pipeline – Refinements & Blending

  • New Depth Blender tab with sliders for model blend weights
  • Improved 16-bit depth output handling for smoother disparity
  • Early percentile clipping reduces outliers without flattening depth
  • Added Depth Anything V2 Giant model support
  • Added FP16 precision toggle for faster inference and reduced VRAM use
  • Result: cleaner separation between foreground and background, less fuzz, and more consistent 3D parallax

3) HDR10 Support – Preservation & Metadata

  • Fixed washed-out HDR outputs when re-encoding
  • Preserves:
    • 10-bit pixel format (yuv420p10le)
    • BT.2020 color space
    • PQ curve (smpte2084)
    • HDR metadata (Master Display / MaxCLL)
  • UI toggle: Preserve HDR10 Metadata
  • Result: HDR content now keeps its original punch and dynamic range

4) Experimental Live 3D (WIP)

  • Added real-time 3D pipeline for external inputs (consoles, capture cards, webcams)
  • Uses Depth Anything v2 Small by default (swap models if GPU allows)
  • Stereo conversion powered by the VisionDepth3D method
  • End-to-end capture → depth → stereo loop is working
  • Early tests show playable 3D console and video feeds
  • Performance optimizations ongoing for fps, latency, and GPU acceleration

5) General Fixes & Stability

Rendering

  • Restored Clip-range UI — set start/end times for partial renders
  • Added Left-only / Right-only output modes (no post-split required)
  • Extra padding + edge reflection reduce stereo bleed-through
  • Optimized per-eye resize, aspect ratio, and DOF/color grading checks
  • Fixed floating-window scaling in single-eye renders

UI & Error Handling

  • Patched white-edge artifact from 16-bit normalization
  • Better error handling when models fail to load
  • Synced language packs with new controls (HDR toggle, depth blender, etc.)
  • All buttons and inputs styled with a new dark theme

Codec & Output

  • Fixed FFmpeg forcing slow presets on GPU codecs
  • NVENC now uses correct encoder flags (preset p5, rc vbr, cq)
  • CPU codecs retain CRF + preset for consistent quality

6) UI & Workflow Enhancements

  • Full 3D Generator tab UI overhaul for a cleaner look
  • Hotkeys to import video & depth maps directly into workflow
  • Save/load presets with one click
  • Reset button and quick navigation to docs, bug reports, and GitHub
  • Result: smoother daily workflow and better testing inside VD3D

Summary

v3.6 delivers depth blending refinements, true HDR10 preservation, and massive speed boosts through concurrent processing.
It restores clip-range flexibility, adds direct eye outputs, and debuts the first Live 3D pipeline, moving VisionDepth3D toward real-time stereo rendering.
