3D Imaging - Beelitz - Nov 6, 2005

This is pretty much uncharted territoy with RCT3, but the inspiration came from the Atari Community about makeing 3D movies. It seems like a lost cause because of what you have to go through or what you really need to make a 3D video. The above thread has been kind of quite here lately, but hopefully people haven't given up on the idea of a 3D video with RCT3. Since I've tried many different things in makeing the 3D Video and came short and failed each time, I desided to mess around with Photos. Here's one I created recently:

Glasses on!

Glasses off

My next project will take hours to complete but I believe it's possible. What I'll do is, set up like I'm going to record a video but instead of RECORD I'll just take snapshots. I'll probably end up with a 1000 photos or more then I'll convert them to JPEG, open them up with a paint program, and spit out .GIFS. From there I can upload them to the online GIF mentioned in another thread, regenerate to a 3D look, and then throw them in WMM.
This is the only way that I can think of to make a "3D Video." If anyone has any suggestion or any eaiser routes please fill me/us in.

Also, in the Exchange forum I posted some helpful links if you haven't found them and you want to just click HERE.

Rofl, lucky me getting my 3D glasses in the mail yesterday. Looks friking sweet.

Lol, same here ^ Daily Mail 3D Glasses!

Great idea beelitz! I hope you succeed!


UPDATE - Beelitz - Nov 7, 2005

After a few hours surfing the web in search of answers to a better quality and more easier way of creating 3D Videos, I found a program called 3D Combine 4.0.5. The site is at Photoalb.com where you'll find the "Combine" program and a few more. The program allows you to manually or auto-complete a 2D to 3D conversion on BMP images or convert .AVI to the 3D realm.

Here is a new pic using this program:

And here is a Video using about 50 BMP's
Short Video Click Here-752KB

The bightness of the pic and video are a little dim, but soon I aim to have something a little bit more pleasant. Enjoy!!!

That one doesn't work with normal glasses since it also uses green light....normal ones use red and blue/


RE: 3D Imaging - AHero - Feb 26, 2006

dude knighty is right, and the vid doesnt work either! :'(, but everywhere else good job! I also have an idea, you could use fraps to repeat taking the images, 1 per second automatically until you press the stop button, then upload them into microsoft .gif animator then make the pic 3D.

ahero


RE: 3D Imaging - Beelitz - Feb 26, 2006

how exactly do I set FRAPS to do that? Any what is the microsoft .gif animator? About the vid, I'll see if I can find it and upload it again. -might take a while
