3d glasses anyone

It distorts the red channel..
But you need more than one offset otherwise it won't distort the red channel enough for good depth...
If you use only one offset you have to keep it at a low setting or the red channel will distort way to much and ruin the anaglyph...
So you keep a real low setting but add a couple of more offsets to distort the channel more but it will not distort it to the point of destroying the anaglyph...

So in effect by the different shades of the height map the red channel will distort a different direction...Also it notices a gradient and distorts the red accordingly...

I guess you can look at it this way also..We know that 2 images are needed for a true anaglyph....Think of this as the second image that we can't load into FF...

Well the hue/sat does not do to much since the map itself is b/w....A gamma would work
but have not experimented much with that...But I have tried the levels and the tone curve but these do weird things to the red channel...Such as making the red more noticeable within the image and ruining the effect...I even tried quick masking with the levels and alpha channel but again the effect was ruined by this....

Thanks Craig, I'll be submitting that one next week sometime..I want to re-do some of the presets...

here's a link to an interesting anaglyph: http://www.3dartspace.com/ . it's not FF or anything; just a neat anaglyph.

yup, see the other topic on Meat's work in the offtopic forum.

Setting up the images to use in FF is rather simple...I took a picture of the plant then slightly moved the camera about an inch or two and took another photo....
Then opening the images up in PS I resized them to 6in width....One of the images I made the canvas 12in so I can fit both images side by side...Heres what that looked like....

Heres the filter to play with...

Real Anaglyph with 2 images.ffxml

hmmm, not sure i understand that last step, CF. like, why does it come out with two halves on the sides and the full in the middle? i'm guessing you're doing this on purpose, but i dont see why.

also, it occurs to me that you might want to get with TD and talk to him about importing two images at once. he was doing something with his lathe filter with some multiple imports. perhaps you two could collaborate on a 2 image anaglyph?

and i love the plant image. great depth!

oh, i see it now. duh. thanks, CF

the red looks to be slightly off in that one, CF. still, great depth! glad to see you back on these.

now, that's interesting. in the time it took to type out that sentence above and then looking back at the image again, all the time wearing the 3d glasses, the red now looks fine. quite odd. i guess there really is an adjustment period when putting on these glasses.

yup, seems so. once my eyes adjusted, it was fine. quite odd.

Hope you found that filter useful Carl

I am getting back to FF now so I thought I would start out with the ChromaDepth version of the Abstracts and Swirls one....Don't forget to put on the glasses for this one if you have them...

boy, the reds really come out at ya on that one, CF. it always surprises me that it takes a bit to 'warm up my eyes' to looking at those. sort of like some optical illusions do. but, very, very cool

For anyone still interested in these 3ds
I did some experimented last night with the ColorCode3d method..See the last post in this thread..
http://www.filterforge.com/forum/read...1&TID=6002
The method is the same process as the red and blue anaglyph as far as extracting the RGB channels and moving the red channel slightly left or right for height and depth....But in the ColorCode3d instead of moving the red channel we move the blue channel....The odd thing is when moving this channel left or right its the opposite direction to the red and blue anaglyph..
If you would like some glasses but are not available where you are or are just lazy and don't want to get any Mail me and I will send some out to ya..I have seemed to acquire a bit of these somehow..

I don't have any 3D glasses to check this out.....but no doubt you have this well perfected by the looks of it.....

Well, my eyes are already bad enough.....you've seen my filters, right??? ..... LOL......

The Color-Code 3d glasses are what you need..They are like the red and blue ones but different colors.....There was a commercial that aired during the superbowl that was in 3D...Big advert or something
see bottom post
http://www.filterforge.com/forum/read...1&TID=6002
And they do look way better than the red and blue glasses..

The glasses were given away free at various stores including Myers, Kroger and a dollar store of all places....Like I mentioned to stevie I have a supply if you want a pair....I'll mail you details..

Late at responding to this one Craig Sorry..
But how about blending them or at least one image where you can use two glasses at once... Why have all those glasses just lying around..Might need that Fred Sanford drawer for storage...
Been playing with some more colors and swirls....I'll post the filter when done..But its for use with either the ColorCode3d glasses(the new ones) or the ChromaDepth glasses(those clear lenses)..But for more fun put both of those on at the same time and look at the image...You really need to relax the eyes for that part...

hehe You're not blind yet.. Darn....I'll post some more images then..

Hmmm....I'll have to see what is going on with that..Might be that monitor settings thing again or something... Back to the drawing board..Or mousepad...

i think my glasses must be defective. either that, or i'm using the wrong ones. i have three types now, the normal red on left, blue/green on right, the clear chroma and that last set you sent me, with the yellow on left and blue on right. none of them seem to work on the bus pic. and the spiral pic, only the chromas work. so, either i'm defective, the glasses are or i'm missing a type. we wont comment on me being defective

yes, i've tried it with the color code ones. i see a little 3d effect... maybe. it's certainly not like the others where it's quite obvious and things stick out or drop back remarkably. i mean, i think i see the effect on this last one, but it seems dull compared to the other type glasses and it also darkens the whole thing quite a bit. and i dont mean any reflection on your work; i'm just not convinced of these color code glasses and their effect being all that good.

slight effect... ok, good; thought i was going blind

rather than the blue channel, try the green. lightness is often carried more in the green, or so i was told.

cant help ya with the light
