stereoscopic questions

[Jiri.Matys]

Hi,

I have two questions.

1. Is it possible to use shade map for rendering animation? (objects and camera moves) Or have I calculate shade map for every picture manualy?

2. Is there a way to convert sidebyside stereo animation to anaglyph animation? Now I render sidebyside animation and then play it with PowerDVD, which has 3D support and can automatically show it in anaglyph or 3D for 3D TV without any covertion. I try it with full HD for one eye (final animation has resolution 3840x1080 for both eyes) and it works pretty well! But I cant send this animation to a friend, because without PowerDVD its still sidebyside animation. Try to google it, but find only 3D to sidebyside convertion, not sidebyside to 3D

Thanks for answer.

You will need a separate shade map for each frame, but there is certainly no need to do this manually. Just set the shade map mode to "compute shade map" and render the animation - the stereoscopic helper will automatically create a new file for each frame.

2. Is there a way to convert sidebyside stereo animation to anaglyph animation?

Someone suggested StereoPhoto Maker (http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/) which can convert batches of images.
