JR, you are correct... unlike ALICE IN WONDERLAND, which Burton converted to 3-D, AVATAR was NOT converted from one to the other. Cameron used the PACE Fusion 3-D camera system to film in 3D initially. The film was also printed in both 35mm and 70mm, as well as D-Cinema for the 3-D versions ( as well as a 2-D format for those markets unable to project the 3-D version).

the previous statement is wrong.

Rich,

Where did you hear that? It's true that AVATAR was originally conceived in 1994, but everything I've seen indicates that once the technology was proven that Cameron decided shoot the live action with the digital 3-D "Fusion Camera System", developed by Cameron and Vince Pace. See the picture on page two of this Popular Mechanics article:

That's because it was not filmed in 3-D but converted from 2-D to 3-D.
