Description
Animation: 0:30Dig out your Red/Cyan 3-D glasses for this one!
For the different versions of 3-D for my animations, I worked up a program to let me generate a wide variety of images including Top-and-Bottom (TaB), Side-By-Side (SBS), cross-eye, and six different methods of anaglyph 3-D making use of the classic Red-Blue(Cyan) colored glasses. Most of what I did is based on this excellent tutorial: www.3dtv.at/knowhow/anaglyphco…
The animation is 30 seconds long and contains a 5 second clip, repeated six times; each time using a different anaglyph method. Those methods are:
True: No color, best optics left → red, right → blue
Gray: much like "True" but with a bit of green (actually, as much green as blue)
Color: simply left red → red; right green, blue → green, blue
Half: still color, less retinal rivalry
Optimized: partial color, little retinal rivalry, no red
JK (mine): Optimized with some red added in
There are trade-off for all of these. Basically the "True" works test best - very few artifacts, but the color is hard to watch. The subsequent methods attempt to improve the color (starting with just "gray) but introduce more artifacts, typically "ghost" images. The matrices that are used to combine the image pairs are shown in the video.
I will be posting a version of the full animation in at least one of these methods. If you see one you like more than the others, let me know and I may favor that version.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and hope that a bare, non-gendered, alien chest does not exceed the need for a maturity flag.
As always - I recommend full screen. Also - a dark room is good.

I dugged out my Red/Cyan goggles but I think they musta' got broke coz, like Molly , I can only see double (mainly red)
As for a bare alien chest Mmmmmm... You may well be sailing far too close to the wind for today's public ( ).... Last night I watched the 1958 film "Damn Yankees" >>>> 'Cept it's not called that any more coz "Damn" is a BAD word, according to IMDB it's now called "What Lola wants"!!!!
And don't get me started on Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" ...Its fourth and most poltically correct title since I was at skool!
Plus I read last week that some skools want to ban "Sleeping Beauty" because the handsome prince doesn't seek Beauty's explicit consent to kiss/wake her... So it's kinda sending out the wrong message to today's young skoolboys!

Yeah - the double image is a problem. It looks pretty good on my Oculus Rift DK2 (I'd really like to see it on the actual released version - but they don't support Macs or Linux so... none for me - I'm not going to buy a computer just to watch odd little 3-D bits).
Ah - that would be the book I read in school: Ten Little Indians. There's something wrong with this world. We need some sense of proportion. (Though not the "Total Perspective Vortex" kind!)
And how is "What Lola Wants" somehow better than "Damn Yankees". The original title makes sense - the new one - just stupid (and I have seen the movie - and if there is a single scene that is too racy or inappropriate - I believe it would be when Gwen Verdon sings that song).
Oh well - short of a world-wide catastrophe - I don't know what will shake our collective "minds" lose.

Hmmm. Hard to say which one I like best. I had the red image kind showing up all the time making it a bit like a double image for me Maybe I'm still cross-eyed from looking at the previous image?
If I had to pick despite that little problem, I think I'd go for the last run; the JK.

That's a problem with this scene in particular. I don't see much ghosting in the initial "True" encoding, but all the other seem to have an extra, faint image off to the left in the red lens - some of the green is coming through.
That's my favorite too.
