Card3D

Nuke has a very effective 3D environment. A significant use for this is to place flat (moving) images onto cards in front of a virtual camera. Done in the right way new camera moves can be faked and different output can be integrated in a believable 3D space. However, it can be very processor intensive. The inaptly named Card3D is a faster way of creating such effects... it does not work in a trie 3D environment, rather a simple emulation of one.

In the example below a moving camera creates the impression of 3D parallax.
