Hey guys! Some of you know that ANOTHER one of my MANY hobbies is taking 3D pics. Check some of them out here... picasaweb.google.com/beau.chambersYou'll need some of those red/blue anaglyph glasses to get the full effect. If anybody's interested I can post a quick tutorial on how I do it... and maybe get some of you hooked so we can have a fully 3D Onemonk gallery! (just one of my dreams) onemonkeybeau

Will have to check those out when I get home. I have a whole stack of cardboard 3D glasses! Wish their were a way to do it without losing all the color.

If only my glasses weren't downstairs...  I'm going to have a to have a better look at those tomorrow, I think. But it'll be fascinating to see how you do them. ;D

My wife caught me looking at the screen with my daughters Hanna Montana 3d glasses.
She shook her head and said "geek"
I didn't even try to explain...

I love the 3D stuff and would be very interested in any tutorials on the subject you'd be willing to share. I've tried creating my own 3D images from photos I had using photoshop. It's been awhile since I've done it, and I can't remember exactly how I did it  ....I know it has something to do with manipulating the RGB channels but I'll have to go through my old notes again.

Cool! It's actually a lot easier than that nowadays, Scruff! Basically it consists of taking two photos, 2 inches apart, running them through a program called Stereo Photo Maker (my 3D program of choice... it's free), and then fine tuning. The last step is optional as SPM does an excellent job of lining up your photos and making them look good. Here's where to start while I pull together a little tutorial for all of us... At the very least just download Stereo Photo Maker, Auto-pino shift (an AMAZING little program that finds matching points on your two photos and miraculously lines them up for you!), take tow photos and try it out... I just got back from a trip to San Francisco and I'll be posting some 3D pics from that trip soon! Looking forward to what you come up with! onemonkeybeau

It is a shame you have to take two photos to do this. I kindda rules out anything spontaneous involving people, unless you happen to have two mini digital camera's side by side. Still a very cool concept.

Thanks for the follow up. I actually remember now reading about a trick where you tape two disposable cameras together and take the two pictures together (but I'm not quite sure how you would depress both buttons at the same time.) Practice you're ambidextrous skills I guess? You would have to place the developed pictures in a Stereoscope viewer so that each eye is focused on a separate photo, but the end result is a 3D image without the color distortion. I think the result works best if both images are in a square format.
I'd forgotten about it (something on the back burner) but I had planned on making a paper viewer. I couldn't find anything online that I could download. If you're interested I'll keep you updated on the progress of that endeavor.
