Is awesome. But requires wide monitors. So some resizing is usually needed. Either that, or the images are just tiny little things. Anyway, combine this with rope art, and you get this.
What is stereoscopic imagery you ask? It’s when you take two pictures, one in the general area of where the left eye would be, and then the other in place of the right. If you look at a properly aligned pair of images cross eyed, you’ll see them in 3D. If you have trouble crossing your eyes, try putting your index finger out in front of you, at arm length. Then move it slowly towards your face, keeping your eyes on it, until you touch your nose. As for focusing.. well, just try using your finger, placed on your nose, then shifting the focus back, from your finger onto your monitor. Good eye control is a must. :P
Stereoscopic imagery is fun. And can kinda work on any image. I took the cutout of Benie’s sub, and put two of them together, and kinda rotated one a bit so it looked as if it were being viewed from a slightly different point. It seems to be 3d. Seems. Pseudo-stereoscopica anyone?
And speaking of pseudo-stereoscopica.. Seems all stereoscopic images I’ve made up until recently were pseudo-stereoscopica. :P I just realized today that I was doing it wrong. The image taken in place of the right eye goes on the left side, and the other vice-versa. I was putting image in place of right eye on right side. Call me an idiot.
I was gonna make a stereoscopic image of my living room, but unfortunatley I am Captain Shakeywhileholdingphone.. and it’s hard to translate the phone on one single axis without translating it on another, or changing the pitch/yaw/roll. :|
And my webcam would’ve worked, for a picture of my keyboard, but it’s a cheap ass thing, and the pictures I managed to take of my keyboard were pretty much just black and white. You could make out the sillouette of my keyboard and front center speaker. Not to mention the moving issues mentioned above. So instead I made another GMod one.
And there’s panoramic imagery too. Which is taking multiple images at different rotations from the same point to capture everything that can be seen from that specific point. And then stitching it all together. At least that’s the way in which I use it. The wide POV panoramia is nice too. :P This produces something along the lines of this. Of course that’s a rather crappy example. Since I just threw it together in a few minutes. And I’m beginning to think this program was made for the wide POV kind of panoramia. :P Edit: I came across a decent panoramic picture of Dragon Forest.. Wurm nostalgia, anyone? :(
Now imagine this. Panoramic images.. With stereoscopic-ness. How awesome would that be? :)
Quite awesome. Being able to see the entirety of a single point, in 3d. Mix in enough time, and you could make multiple stereoscoporamic images for.. let’s say a house you’re planning to sell. No need to go to the house IRL, just look at it online.
Anyway, I think this concludes this blogpost. Enjoy the stereoscopica.
