sandstone 3D

Just took a day trip to Arizona and shot these spectacular sandstone cliffs...

...ok, well actually it's the beach near the Santa Monica pier.

and here are some tests with alternate color schemes. Interesting how much variation you can get away with.

[note: on my system, the green variations ghost badly in all browsers, but if you copy/paste into a photoshop document they work fine. Weird.]

stereo 3D recorder standalone

Here's the latest (and hopefully final for now) version of the stereo 3D quicktime viewer/recorder. It's now a standalone application (~ 1.5MB zipped). Runs fine on my powerbook - please let me know if you experience any problems.

Audio is working - make sure to select the REALTIME option when recording sync sound, or your audio might end up slightly out of sync.

Also, change the codec quality to 'high' or 'max' when recording an anaglyph movie to avoid jpeg ghosting artifacts.

Press h for help file.

Screenplay for Stereo Project

As requested, here's the screenplay I wrote for my Stereo Project: "Special Report: The Third Dimension"

updated + improved stereo camera patch

More reliable and generally spiffed up.

Improvements include:

- keyboard equivalents for almost everything (all lowercase, no modifiers)
- reliable window resizing - including 1024 x 768.
- alignment image for two projectors side by side @ 1024 x 768 (key equivalent = a)
- toggle video window to the front (key equiv = t)

Still haven't gotten audio in there, coming soon.

Perry, placing all the Right and Left images together did the trick:

Black Letters with a 50% drop shadow...

White Letters with no drop shadow. However, I'm still liking the "original" (on my personal web page) the best.

First (Successful) Stereo Image

This is the only one I made that worked. I tried making a few more, but I guess my understanding is more limited than I thought--tried the color channel approach, but didn't look like much of anything.

red/cyan/left/right/black/white

Here are some images that will hopefully clear up the confusion about which eye sees which color. Or maybe they'll just confuse you more. Whatever.

The left eye sees the image through a red filter. Therefore, in the white half, the cyan image turns black, and the red image turns white (matching the background), and the opposite happens through the blue filter (red turns black, cyan turns white). So in the white half, Left/Red sees Cyan, and Right/Blue sees Red.

However, in the black half of the image, looking through the red filter, the cyan image turns black (matching the background), and the red image turns white. So in the black half, Left/Red sees Red, and Right/Blue sees Cyan.

White Background: Left/Red: Cyan, Right/Blue: Red
Black Background: Left/Red: Red, Right/Blue: Cyan

This also means that if something cyan is to the left of something red, it means either a) it's seen against something lighter and it's behind the screen (uncrossed parallax), or b) it's seen against something darker and it's in front of the screen (crossed parallax).

Here's another demonstration:

Notice that red and cyan are left and right are reversed in the two images, but looking through red/blue glasses, both images present the same spatial information.

The upshot of all this is that trying to figure out which image is which based on color relationships can tie your brain in knots.

Anaglyph channels in Photoshop

Here's a quick introduction to one technique for transforming flat images into stereo pairs in Photoshop.

Pumpkins in 3D

An seasonably appropriate example of the technique I demonstrated to make an anaglyph (red/blue) stereoscopic image in Photoshop, using Layer Sets to keep all the image data intact.
