TiPiT creates a result image with a new view point from three input images of an original image, a mask image and a background image (see the below figure). An animator needs to provide the two images of an mask image and an background image made from the original image by a retouch tool (for example, Travel Matte of Composer and Tranfer Brush of VizPaint2D) and so on. Maybe, a mask image may be created by any of Ultimatte plug-ins, automatically.
TiPiT provides to the animator an easy graphical user interface for re-constructing the scene at the new view point. And, In the higher reqirments for a composite, TiPiT provides additional inputs (named "Layer 1" to "Layer X") for images attached by billbords (named, "Region").
