Behind the Code

“Every RAW photo is a 3D scene waiting to be unlocked — not just a flat grid of pixels.”

Hi, I’m Volodymyr Makovetskyi. As the Lead Developer of 3DCoat and creator of Scanimat technology (scanimat.com, scanimate.io), my journey in 3D computer graphics began back in 1995, with over 20 years of commercial engineering experience spanning from early 3D model architectures to high-end real-time GPU rendering engines.

I originally began building Lumens Deep as a personal hobby project to edit family photos with the quality, optical realism, and depth fidelity I always dreamed of. Traditional industry editors like Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, and Darktable are fantastic for flat 2D color grading, but none of them generate ultra-precise 40MP+ metric depth maps where every single pixel aligns perfectly with RAW sensor resolution. None of them allow you to treat a capture as a living 3D environment — isolating depth planes, relighting surfaces via high-frequency surface normals, or computing genuine optical bokeh raymarching with customizable aperture blade geometry.

🤖 The Lumens Deep AI Philosophy: Authenticity Over Hallucination

Lumens Deep was purposefully engineered for the next era of AI Agent collaboration via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Unlike generative diffusion tools that hallucinate and redraw over your photos, AI agents in Lumens Deep act as precision studio assistants — they analyze and adjust the native GPU sliders, OKLCH curves, and 3D geometric masks without ever painting over or compromising your photograph’s genuine optical authenticity.

I am sharing Lumens Deep with the global photography and developer community as a 100% free and open-source project (MIT License). It is built to give visual artists total creative freedom, without subscriptions, walled gardens, or cloud dependencies.
