2D to 3D Location Addon

Introducing 2D to 3D Location, a powerful Blender addon designed to save time and increase flexibility in VFX workflows. Whether you’re a solo artist or part of a studio team, this tool helps you quickly find exact 3D points in your scene using camera trackings, even those created in external software like After Effects, Colmap, or any other tracking solution. No more manual triangulation or endless trial-and-error, the addon streamlines the process and makes your workflow much faster and more reliable.

⚠️ Important: This is not a tracking addon. 2D to 3D Location does not perform camera tracking or generate tracking data. It is a tool to triangulate 3D points from existing 2D tracking data, helping you create accurate references for modeling, simulations, or VFX workflows. Always use it with trackings generated in Blender or external software.

TUTORIAL:

Technical Overview | Key Benefits and Features:

• Create single or grouped 3D locations directly from 2D markers, giving you accurate references in seconds.
• Works with multiple tracking sources, making it compatible with trackings created outside Blender.
• Includes RMS quality evaluation to measure the error factor of your points, helping you identify and refine markers that need improvement.
• Easily adjust empty sizes and create faces or meshes from your points using the Mesh Builder panel — perfect for modeling, simulations, or shadow references.
• Right-click menu integration makes selecting, moving, and refining markers fast and intuitive.
• Supports hook creation for vertices, which is ideal for simulations or procedural setups.

This addon is continuously improving, updates will bring new features and optimizations based on user feedback. Due to changes in Blender’s Python API, 2D to 3D Location is designed to work on Blender 4.4 LTS or higher.

For any bugs or issues, the addon panel includes instructions on how to report problems, making it easy to provide feedback and help us make the tool even better.
