3d glasses anyone

Carl and CF, those samples are really cool!!! I'm going to have to find some 3D glasses somewhere to get the full effect

It will be worth the effort

Still holding breath

Had some time so here is this version so far. Still need some tweaks here and there. Also renaming of some of the controls. Maybe more tweaking of the mask is in order also...

Just when you thought I was done with this..hehe
Starting to slowly get back into working on this...I received my ChromaDepth glasses today and started some experimenting with that method...If anyone has these type here is a sample texture..You can only see the depth with the ChromaDepth glasses thou...

bummer! dont have that type of glasses

cool. got it

you've got mail!

Ah, the method to your continued madness..... Very interesting.....

Somehow I had been unsubsribed from this thread and hadn't noticed you been posting again Looks wild [ in a good way ] I'd love you to release a filter that you can use with the glasses

i looked at your chromadepth test pic above. the black really stands out, like as if 4 to 6 inches or so out from my monitor. that surprised me a bit, since on that website, it was the reds that seemed to stand out most. i think i feel another headache coming on

ok, this is getting interesting again try this version of your filter, CF. you may have to stare at it a while to notice it. use the chromadepth glasses. you may also want to turn the anti-aliasing off. this filter is sloooooow.

ok, i just turned the anti-aliasing off and reset the default preset to that. makes it a bit faster. also notice the controls i added at the bottom of yours. the last 3 dont seem to do much, but the top 3 will have an effect.

well, notice the rest of the red as well. you may have to leave the glasses on a bit to see the whole red effect.

tried your chroma test. that first preset with the blue really sinks down, doesnt it and the second. and i like the third, though somewhat weird, shows what i was saying about r g and b. nice

Heres the filter to test...
Still a bit of tweaking to go on it yet....

----Oh wow, my vision = worse than I thought, I got some "pulsing" going on, like every 2 1/2 or 3 seconds the leaf colors changed (color) in a "wave like fashion". On the other hand those red/blue 3-D glasses never did work so great for me, and either gave me a headache or just made me dizzy after 5 mins anyways. Interesting stuff though.

Thought I would post the anaglyph method here Craig.....This is the same method that I had used for that
anaglyph swirl.....In this filter method you create an object or image and create a height map for it....
When creating the height map the parts that are white will make the image pop out of the screen..The parts
that are black in your height map will make the image drop into the screen...
This is part of what Richard Bartlett was talking about at the beginning of the thread about a proper height map..
The thing that was missing was the map to play nice with the offsets....
This method still does not work that well with imported images it works with images that are created entirely in
FF...It is a slow method but gives good results....
In this filter example check out the height map and how it affects the grey circle....

Heres that version with images...

Well instead of using a mask for the red channel...The height map distorts the red channel...Other then this it works the same as an anaglyph...

Compare the dots and the height with the height map that I created for this below...

ok, do you mean that you're substituting your heightmap for the normal red channel of an rgb? is that it? is that all?

cool.

ok, i told you i was going to be a bit (a lot) dense on this one, so, i get the extraction and that you're offsetting the red, but, why three times? is the invert offsetting those squares based on the height of each square? and... ok, the image in the invert is the height map. how are the offsets picking up the right shade to offset the red? i'm probably not seeing it, but i dont see any differences between the assemble rgb's.

hehe Thats alright Craig it took me this long to get to this point..

Another way to do this is consolidate the offsets to one branch of assemble rgbs..
The difference is small in the offsets...But this is needed since putting the height map through the "Horizonal" distorts the heck out of the image..So the offset percentage needs to be at 1...Otherwise you will see the distortion in the render and it will ruin the anaglyph......So the more offsets you have the better depth you can create....3 offsets were giving a good amount of depth on these.....

The black in the height map distorts the image one way and the white distorts the image the other way..Then the Grey is the middle-ground..Giving the below, above and even with the screen effect when processes through the red channel.....
Hope that helped..

i'll have to take your word on all this for now. i love what you've done but just not a lot of time or brain cells to study this right now. is that last method from a filter you posted here in the thread?

ok. havent looked at those yet. downloaded, but not looked at yet. and yes, i can see that you've simply changed when and where on the offsets. does that still work ok that way?

see, that's the part i forget about the older way(s) we were trying... you had to offset the reds, i remember that ok, but i forget about the blues and ... wait, you are just mapping the reds to the heightmap? that's all? i assume that invert with the 4 greys is your simulated heightmap, yes?
