The Blue Gig in 3D! (Pics and Video!) - Beelitz - Nov 9, 2005
--The video might seem a little glitchy like it was recorded with Fraps, but that's because it wasn't recorded at all. This video consists of 1,535 .bmp pics converted
to AVI and compressed to reduce the size as much as possible.
--This took a lot of work. First I had to ride the Blue Gig in RCT3 and take many pics; ended up with 744. Then I had to change them to 3D one by one, I ended up resizing them twice, trial and error with WMM and other video programs before finding a converting program that converts bmp2avi, duplicating the pics and renaming them one by one, add extra pics for intro and outro, then coverting the pics to AVI and this is what you have. It took many long and boring hours doing this, but I tried to get the best I could -(just for you!) Before I duplicated the pics, the coaster was more fuild, but much too fast. Afterwards, it's more slower, yet a little glitchy, but better optical quality.
--One of my biggest concerns was getting it small enough for a website to host, but destroying the quality just to reduce the size was not an option. Thanks to http://www.RCT3X.co.uk I was able to FTP the video.
--You will need the red and blue gla-s-ses for your 3D viewing pleasure.
Here we go! Some pics for you!

Wow i must download this
- RCS2K4 - Nov 10, 2005
:shock: 470MB ! ! ! Wow, thats huge... What felt like an eternity on 2MB DSL, it finally downlaoded.
Fired up Media Player, slipped on the 3D glasses I had from Shrek 3D and WOW. I have never seen anything like it before, It must have taken ages to convert every frame to 3D.
Well done, definatly the best RCT:3 video yet :wink:

Oh man, it took so long that I really dread doing another one. But hey, if people seem to like this one, then I guess I have no choice.
