3D awesomess!

Another practical blog, something that I am working on but haven't got around all the fine points yet.With the deluge of 3D movies coming out recently, I wondered if it was possible to create our own 3D images, so i had a look online and found instructions and even a template for making your own 3D glasses. After much backwards and forwards, I have finally figured out how to do it! It is made even more fiddly by the fact that we only have an old copy of Photoshop, so it takes a bit longer than normal. Basically you take one picture and slightly overlay them, put a colour layer of cyan over the left image and then a red layer over the right one. Combine them together and voila! There is your anaglyph. The plan is to talk about the history of 3D, what it has been used for and where it is heading (TVs if you were interested).One of my workmates went to the Armageddon expo on the weekend and said the 3D TV was mind blowing! Check out a video of Sony's offering.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=froIGgjJwOI&feature=related

Here is a sample image of what we will be working on. It's not quite perfect yet but gives an idea of what I mean. Drag out your 3D glasses if you have them!
