I already posted such topic in the FA forum, but as I’m a bit in hurry, as a customer is waiting for an answer. So:
last week I was asked by said customer if there was any possibility for me to make his final renderings also stereoscopic and viewable with those red-green 3D glasses (the ones, you use in the 3D cinema or for watching 3D TV). I have searched a bit, but found almost nothing V-Ray related on this topic.
Do you know how it’s done (if possible)? A custom VFB channel maybe?
It can be done with vray but for other software, like C4D. Rhino doesn’t have a proper camera object. In other software you can ad a stereo camera (anaglyph is the red cyan you are looking for) and render with Vray.
Just red/green or red/cyan glasses you can buy for cheap on internet. The results are not so good though. Don’t expect much stereo effect from that technique.
I’m also not a big fan, but the customer has recently seen a 3D presentation and is now curious about it. Would You have an alternative idea for a better stereo effect?
If you need to see the 3d render in a printed support (piece of paper, magazine, poster) than you have to stick with the anaglyphs. Otherwise, if the client wants to see it form a screen/monitor/smartphone there are better and more efficient solutions of course.
Last beta → camera options → enable stereo. You get a pair of images side-by-side. In postwork you could convert this pair two any stereo format you like. There a free tools at the www available.
And what about the post production of the stereo images? Does it mean I have to make ‘the’ perfect 3D rendering and deal with it as it is or can I apply the workflow (build 3D > render > post production)?
