Creating Stereoscopic 3D Images

For this assignment, we got to create our own 3D images.

The process was both simpler and more difficult than I thought it would be. In a nutshell, you simply take a picture, move the camera a couple inches to the right and take another picture, being careful not to rotate the camera. Then, in Photoshop, you put the pictures into one file, turn off the red channel for the right eye, and voilĂ ! You have your stereoscopic 3D image. However, the difficult part was making sure the camera did not rotate, and knowing exactly how far to move your camera to take the second picture.

The following pictures were my best attempts to create 3D images.




Of the three, my favorite is the one with the palm trees because it was the most successful. I was delighted to see how well it turned out. It was almost like the trees were right there! I showed my friends what I had made, and some of them asked me to make 3D images for them. Hopefully they will like them!
