neil poppleton Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Has anybody produced a stereoscopic animation for the new breed of 3d tv's. I understand you export the animation using 2 cameras, one left eye and one right eye, but what software is used to produce the animation ? will premiere or after effects produce this ? Your comments and thought would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonRashid Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Maya has stereoscopic built in and Spatial view do a plugin for studio Max. How you render depends on your playback methods. So you need to identify your playback method first. Something like the SVI player will provide you with most options. Flash can produce the stereo effect but I believe it a a layer system and not true stereo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main types of TV out there use either Active stereo (shutter glasses) or Passive stereo (polarised glasses), whichever one you use your prob best running your content from a PC and using a viewer like this http://www.3dtv.at/Products/Player/Index_en.aspx to play, as you can feed in the eyes seperate or create a side by side sequence from any compositing/editing program. I saw an autostereoscopic display the other day where you didnt need any glasses, but you had to render your scene 8 times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 How much was that autosterioscopic TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatch Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 How much was that autosterioscopic TV? About £10k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 How big was it and who made it? I looked into these TV's about 4 or 5 years ago and back then for a 42" they were about 30K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatch Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 It was made by Alioscopy http://www.alioscopy.com/3d-solutions-displays and i think it was the 47" model. It was great for catching your eye, but not for watching anything more than a few mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I've never seen one in action, does it cause eye strain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatch Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 It was uncomfortable to watch after about a minute, so im guessing it would cause eye strain. That may have well been the content i was watching though, some crappy over saturated lego animation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 So we kind of got off topic, I'd like to know if Adobe Premiere of After Effects is capable of outputting a format that a 3d TV & 3d blue ray player could play back. The real question is once you've rendered out both cameras what software do you need to have in order to produce 3D blue ray disks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonRashid Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I have no definitive answer on blue ray, but you can output to 3Dtv using SVI player from a pc. If you can burn blue ray in the right format then I do not see why you cant then run the disk as per any other blue ray disk. You will need to find out whether you need to play using side by side, over under, interlaced etc. Once you have your 2 rendered channels you can use something along the lines of zlice for compositing the two channels into the correct format. You can also use any DLP projector to display passive stereo but would need shutter glasses for active stereo. Acer do an active laptop and glasses system at about £1500 but there are passive laptops as cheap as £600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisHolland Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) Anyway, back to topic: when you render your scene with the correct plug (i believe max has a few tricks inside allready) then after effects does the job for you, really good! If you have CS4 you can also pick the right setup/format because CS4 has a lot to offer when it comes to 3D tv production. Edited May 1, 2010 by DennisHolland spelling fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 But what about playback, I don't think a standard Blue Ray codec will work on a 3d Blue Ray player will it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
