Taking stereo images with a non stereo camera

[@edwardlthompson]

Thank you so much for all this information! I'm fascinated with the beam splitter lens but they are so hard to find for modern cameras. Very tempting to try and engineer my own.

Thanks Edward, if you do manage to make your own you could certainly sell a few online - there's a big demand for them!

@@pccgbvideochannel8822 especially with VR headsets so readily available. I personally have a glasses-less 3D monitor from Acer that uses cameras to head track a single viewer and I'm dying to shoot some 3D content of the family as viewing it in years to come will only get easier.

I admit I actually wrote my comments below before I watched your full video. I used Photoshop at first, before I found 'StereoPhoto Maker' to line up my hand held 'cha cha' dance. Well I am glad to see, we are both are saying the same things. 'StereoPhoto Maker' was really important to me switching back and forth between the two Apps. I needed SPM to zoom in deep to verify my 3D details such as a characters face or hands. I don't use Glasses while I am working. My eyes can switch back and forth instantly from 2D to 3D because I am really used to it. I Subscribed.

Hello David - many thanks for your comments - personally I struggle to see 3D even with the glasses on, never mind the 'no-glasses'required' approach! I'll checkout your links for examples.

thanks for the video my question is when using a DSLR where is the focus point when taking two shots.what i mean is when taking a photo for example of a house do i focus on the same brick which would make a triangle or do i just move the camera over 2'' and have two photos that focuses on different points

[@pccgbvideochannel8822]

Hello John - glad you enjoyed the video - when doing stereo pairs you keep the focus point the same, but just move the camera 2" to one side, that replicates how your eyes see any scene in real life, when you view the pairs your brain maps the two images as a single stereo view. Let us know how you get on!

Where I buy new fresh rechargealke battery to Fujifilm s5pro?. From Nikon dont work. It is very good camera.

Hi, thank you for your video. Where can you buy these adapters? (the splitter)

[@pccgbvideochannel8822]

Hello Sebastian - glad you enjoyed the video - the splitters are not made anymore but are quite easily found on the well known online auction site - Tim Goldsmith (who presented the video) advises checking that the mirrors are intact as the glue often dries out and they can be missing... he does have some for sale here: tinyurl.com/yajqnaye

im not having any luck either .have you found one

do you think it would be possible to take a 3d picture with a polaroid/instant camera? It would be cool to have a red/blue 3d image made with a polaroid camera

[@pccgbvideochannel8822]

That's a nice idea, although I think you could only do it by using a beam splitter in front of the polaroid camera lens, which MIGHT give you a stereo pair on the instant photo - you'd then need a stereo viewer to look at it... so in the end I don't think it would quite give you the 'cool' effect you were after - but, hey, why not give it a try and share your results with us?

[@SnowmansApartment]

@@pccgbvideochannel8822 hmm to have the blue red kind or 3d effect, wouldn‘t a douple exposure work, one with a red and one with a blue filter? Or can that only be archived by using photoshop?

[@pccgbvideochannel8822]

@@SnowmansApartment Hi - the blue / red effect needs two lenses to take the same view from slightly different angles - otherwise it's not a stereo view. I suppose if you took one image, applied a red filter to it in photoshop, then did the same thing with a blue filter applied, you could overlay the two images on top of each other and put them slightly out of register - why not give it a try?

[@iSleepDoc]

That’s a great idea but you need to create your own beam splitter to fit the Polaroid camera lens. How about using 2 Polaroid cameras side by side to get left and right image or using cha cha method with one Polaroid camera. Pictures can be laid side by side and use free viewing to see in 3D instantly

Try a search for '3D Lois Lane 97 Tribute to Curt Swan' Took me about 60 hours for me to paint it using Ver. Photoshop CS-3 2007. I have plenty of 3d on the Web. I hope you enjoy!

Taking stereo images with a non stereo camera

[@davidmacphee3549]

Easy and fun. Read my other comments.

[@davidmacphee3549]

Believe or not, there is no need for 3D glasses or any adapters at all. Imagine talking to someone and suddenly a siren appears down the street over her shoulder or looking past your fingers. Same thing. We do it naturally. You can learn to do it with 3D photos without crossing your eyes. You just think you can't. The trick is though, you have to shift your head a bit to line up two images into a virtual center image and ignore the sides. Do you care about the glass in your bathroom mirror. No. Can you look out a window? Yes. Same thing. We do it naturally. Cheers! '3dfantasys'.
