Might also be a matter of time before someone invents an automated , open-source 'Rotoshop' :

I got my free 3d glasses today.

Red/blue just seems to make me see double. Maybe my eyes need to learn how to uncross?

Guess I'll just get myself one of these:

First test run in photochop using these instructions, without using 2 stereoscopic images, just cutting and pasting 2 layers.

So it just gives 2 flat layers, but that's better than 1 flat layer. By doing more cut & paste, its possible to have several flat 3d layers. By using Transform/Skew on object lawyers, it may be possible to simulate infinite layers as if using 2 cameras, but only on that one object skewed.

A 3d Serenity model could be photographed twice, using 1 camera from 2 position 2-inches apart, to give true 3d. A globe would give true 3d for the entire image.

The following image was taken with 2 cameras, for true stereoscopic vision, though it takes 30 seconds for my eyes to relearn how to see in 3d and not see double:

Youtube is now in 3D, with 14 options for 3D per video. Embed does not have this function, so go to the main YT site:
youtube.com/watch?v=Tg_W9zOOfuw

This video is shot with 2 cameras (except for Avatar):







Most "3D" vids on youtube are show with one camera or color-shifted from a normal video. Instead of stereoscopic they look lumpy. Correct 3D requires closer objects to have a wider "overlap bleed" of red/blue, with more distant objects having less red/blue bleed visible. Using 1 videocam makes near and distant objects have the same amount of bleed.

Using red/blue 3D kills the color mostly, that's a very primitive B/W technology from the 1920s.
