could we have stereographic with 3 colors, for those of us with 3 eyes? also, where do i find the correct viewing specs for this?

Well that sounds amazing but you can’t choose a specific camera to bind to the render pipe in blender.
I looked for that since I’ve always seen that since 1996 on other packages.
Animation Master, 3D studio, Maya or EIAS do have this feature.

To enable such a thing there should only be another source into the node manager

like ADD Input > camera

or the ability to bind a RENDERLAYER node to a specific camera.

Also since cameras are actual rendering sources I don’t understand why they are not represented
into the Node Editor.

That way you could change their setup quickly instead of digging into the scene graph change parameter, go back to the node viewer…

I am coordinating a project using OpenSceneGraph where we are looking at adapting
Johnny Lee’s : Wii Remote hack – which you can see on YouTube:

..only we are considering using facial recognition through a screen mounted webCam, rather than the Wii and infra-red. This *might* allow 3D Stereoscopic simulation without all the eye paraphenalia and on a standard monitor.

It’s early days as yet, but eventually it would be nice to see such a facility linked into the Blender games engine in future.

This sounds like a great solution.

I recently made a rig that uses 4 virtual mirrors to split one 2x frame into two (R/L) movies.
It was a pain in the proverbial butt, but it worked (!), and I could re-order the nodes to make it x-eyed (for my review) or straight stereo; parallax as well as convergence were easily controlled.

But I like this script *MUCH* better!

Thanks!!

Now it needs side by side seperation as to keep the color quality.

Cool, I started doing that 2 weeks ago with blender also.

[...] script created by Sebastian Schneider to create stereoscopic cameras in Blender 3D, which I saw in BlenderNation this [...]

Is there any way to do an automatic node setup?

Thanks,
Markus

PS: You should submit your script as a patch to BF, this is a great help!

3d durian is incredibly a good , different idea that will bring allot of interest in to the project
those whom i think would be interested enough to keep an eye in it for competition is dreamworks since they have some experience in 3d films and the sponsor might be enthusiastic about it

@shul

I worked at Sony Pictures Imageworks on G-Force and they use the same technique (parallel cameras with axial shift). The main difference is that they render separate left and right images which play through projectors with polarizing filters in front that flicker left in right (corresponding to polarized glasses) with the images.
