3D Stereoscopic Fotografy

Nothing extravagant. Just an image editing application that allows you to crop a selection.

 

Ah! Now I understand how such a setup should work. When I read your comment about the mirrors, at first I thought about a setup that reflects two slightly offset images into the camera, such that you have a similar picture as the one that you get when you watch that flickering 3D image on the screen. Of course this doesn't work. Now I realized, the setup of the mirrors must be such that two images are projected in such a way that you can fotograf the side by side directly from the mirrors, right? I hope you understand what I mean. :P Probably not, because when I think more about it, I think creating my first idea of a setup might be impossible anyway. :P

I cut up some rubber balls, set up the mirrors, and tested a picture!

And here is the final image (with the left and right side switched) that you can cross your eyes at:

I hope to try a small video, not sure if it can work well though

Very cool. It's definitely working. The depth is exaggerated but that's only because the mirrors are spaced out farther than two eyes would be.

 

Here is the pair as an anaglyph...

It's not red/cyan is it? It doesn't quite work for me. But the disparity is really way too strong. For such close objects, the mirrors need to be closer to each other. With too high disparites, the brain can't find any correspondences because it isn't used to search that far, so the 3D effect cannot be perceived very well.

Yeah, the mirrors are too big and I can't position them much closer. But it still works like that, it's just more like you are holding something very close to your face, thus the right and left eye are seeing significant differences. It would probably work better with those mirrors if I shot something farther away, like across the room, so the difference would be smaller

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
