This plugin creates a 3D geometry could from a color and point pass, and then allow to light and render using buil-in Nuke functions. Aditionally luma could be used insted of point pass.

This plugin create a 3D geometry cloud based on a color and point pass, to allow surface relighting. Exporting the 3D camera, and rebuilding the scene setup in nuke , could be used as a relighting scenario, the small cloudlets conforming the dense geometry at maximum resolution must feature the same size as the 2d pixels.
The cloud is populated with these "cloudlets", wich are customized cubes showing only user selected faces.
Through the resolution slider you can create a very dense 3D geometry that could be lighted and rendered using bult-in lights and scanline.
Aditionally you can usa the luma information from any image insted of rendering a point pass, to fake the 3D shape.
