Patent ID: 8471844

Claim:
A method for use in the display of 3D imagery comprising: receiving at a processor-based system, a first set of data corresponding to an output from a layout in a production pipeline; generating via the processor-based system, geometry data for one or more objects represented within the first set of data; merging the geometry data for each of the one or more objects to create one or more merged files; generating a table of contents, wherein the table of contents specifies the location of the geometry data for each of the one or more objects within the one or more merged files; and storing the geometry data and the table of contents to a memory device for subsequent retrieval by a system running an editing software for editing stereoscopic 3D imagery; wherein the generating the geometry data step comprises identifying one or more objects in motion represented within the first set of data and ignoring fixed components of the first set of data and wherein the fixed components of the first set of data are forwarded to the system running the editing software as originally provided by the layout.
