Two cents worth ...
Stereoscopic entertainment history shows it as a fad type of thing. It
comes along gets all hot and fired then fades to zero.
Yes, like quadraphony. Maybe this time it will break through, hard to
tell. But it will double render times and make post processing much more
complicated. Cameras, both real and virtual are much more complicated
because they need to replicate every movement of the human eyes. (nice
project to set up in RS, also for mono renders!)
Only one of the seven or so ways the brain deciphers depth in a view
is dependent on the stereoscopic event ... the fact that the left view
is 64mm offset from the right view .... and as Jen-Sebastien points
out, actual near and distant eye lens shift for focus is absent. The
other factors are intellectual ..... place in the field, overlap,
known and relative sizes, colour tone strengths, etc.
Yes, but I once tried to play tennis with one eye shut - totally impossible!
Sure, it doesn't add much to maybe 99% of all productions, it's
worthwhile only for visual spectacles like Avatar and Coraline (great
stop motion movie btw!).
Nice and quick replies guys, I'm checking out the tips! Shutter glasses
are maybe an option but I doubt if my LCD monitors are fast enough.
I was just wondering if I could view RS stereo animations in stereo. I
have two identical LCD monitors, maybe I can set up something with mirrors.
Thanks,
