Creating Stereoscopic 3D images

         Okay, its actually much harder than it looks to make the images 3D. I figured 1 Step to the side would be about enough space to compensate for the second Images; I was horribly wrong. All but one of the pictures appeared to have objects in it that were too far apart, thus not completely creating the 3D effect. The last image worked well (moved a little less) but the others didn't completely harmonize. Below are the results:

Magenta/Green

Red/Cyan

Red/Cyan

                 Had to do a lot of moving around with the 2nd images. It was cool to see the effect when I did get it to work for a bit, but I wish I could have gotten the other images to work just as well.

Recreating Cameras and Lights in Maya

Original Image


Maya Recreated Image(s)



         Overall, a very difficult assignment to do. Getting the shadows to be correct as well as the color, edges, and values was a real problem. Despite that, it was a huge learning process and I really got to explore over the course of several days some lights and techniques I had never used before (for this project I used something like 8 lights compared to my previous work which was at most 4).

          To me, out of the 4 pictures assigned this felt like the hardest one, but I loved the color so what can I say? No regrets.
