Depth Map Batch For Images stands out in the superhive library for generating 16-bit depth maps from 8-bit images, a feature the developer notes is difficult to find in other tools or platforms.
Depth Map Batch For Images is a Blender add-on for creating depth maps from a batch of images in a specified directory, a video file, or a single image. It runs entirely on your own machine without relying on external APIs or websites. Nine depth map models are included: Depth Anything V2 (Small, Base, and Large), MiDaS 3.1 (Large), MiDaS 3.0 (Large), Zoe Depth (Indoor NYU, Outdoor KITTI, and Indoor/Outdoor Mixed), and Depth Pro.
Beyond depth maps, it can generate normal maps and height maps, extract original frames from video files, and includes a video compiler feature. It can generate 16-bit depth maps from 8-bit images, which helps minimize banding and supports higher subdivision levels in the mesh for more detail without artifacts. Maximum resolution options range from 256 up to 1600, DPI settings are maintained through generation, and transparency is kept.
Setup runs through an "Install All Packages" button, and the process may take a few minutes before Blender is closed and reopened. It has been tested on Mac, Linux, and Windows. Note that the Depth Anything V2 Large and Base models don't allow commercial use.
Depth Map Batch For Images is best for blender users generating depth maps, normal maps, and height maps from batches of images or video files locally.
Depth Map Batch For Images is completely free to download and use.
Depth Map Batch For Images lists its current version as 2.7.4, which adds Blender 5.1 compatibility. The add-on runs entirely on your own machine rather than relying on external APIs or websites, and it has been tested on Mac, Linux, and Windows. For the most current compatibility details and any newer releases, check the developer's documentation site, which also includes tutorials to help you get started with the tool.
Depth Map Batch For Images installs through a single "Install All Packages" button that handles everything automatically, so you don't need to set up your own Python environment. The process may take roughly three to seven minutes depending on your machine and internet connection. Once it finishes, close Blender entirely and reopen it before using the add-on. The developer also provides tutorials in the documentation section to guide you through getting started.
Depth Map Batch For Images includes nine depth map models: Depth Anything V2 in Small, Base, and Large; MiDaS 3.1 Large; MiDaS 3.0 Large; Zoe Depth in Indoor (NYU), Outdoor (KITTI), and Indoor/Outdoor Mixed; and Depth Pro. You select the included model weights as part of the setup, alongside your input source and output directory. Note that the Depth Anything V2 Large and Base models don't allow commercial use.
Depth Map Batch For Images is listed as free here, but licensing matters for its models. The Depth Anything V2 Large and Base models don't allow commercial use, so review those licenses before using them in paid work. The other included models are available alongside them, and everything runs locally on your own machine. For current licensing terms and any changes, check the developer's page and documentation site before starting a commercial project.
Depth Map Batch For Images accepts png, jpg, and jpeg as input image formats. Beyond single images, it can process a full directory of images or a video file, and it can extract original frames from video. Maximum resolution options range from 256 up to 1600 if your machine can handle it, DPI settings are maintained through generation, and transparency is kept. A batch size setting lets you control how many images process at once.
