Edit: Well now that I have the correct terminology figured out, I'll call these stereoscopic 3D pictures. Here's my first experiment with it.



Cross your eyes until the pictures overlap for some 3D awesomeness
...Don't look at it too long though... I looked at one too many of these and gave myself a headache *_*

I'm gonna do more 3D experiments tomorrow, such as animating them, and doing stereoscopic photos. I'll post any cool stuff I come up with

Hey, awesome job, Lava! I freaking love these things. I think in this case it would be called a stereoscopic image, as stereograms were viewed through stereoscopic viewers... Though I'm not sure it matters. I have a tendency to stare at these for hours, as well. I remember looking through Magic Eye books for hours when I was little. I wonder if that ever worried any of my teachers? >>

Here's an old animation re-rendered in 3D mode.

You can check out YouTube's 3D playback options here too. Cross-eyed mode, and 3D glasses of various kinds. Pretty cool:)

And another random 3D model, with anaglyph (red/blue glasses) mode as well:





My first set of photo experiments didn't work out cause I had the viewpoints too far apart. I'll try again tomorrow.

Militia: Yup, it is stereoscopic. Fixed the topic title:-)
Haha these are addictive. I hope it's not harmful to the eyes to cross them too much... X-)

New animation I made over the weekend

It looks best with 3D glasses, but cross-eyed mode is cool too. YouTube's 3D player is pretty laggy in full screen though...

I also posted a non-3D version here:

I did almost all of that animation in one day... Then spent the second day doing details and making the background. I had the models already built so it was just a matter of making them move, but it still takes a lot of hours to do X-)

damn lava, that's awesome.

I'm sorry I haven't said that since you posted, but this is really quite good.

I feel like I've seen an animation by you before, but I don't remember where... and I'm sure I asked this then, but what programs do you use?

Thanks Josh
I use trueSpace5 for 3D art.

This is probably the one you've seen before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzA_n49FC5A

Maybe this one too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOX10CZ8TQk

I don't know how I used to make such long animations with full sound effects and music so fast. I remember it took two weeks to do that first one. I thought that was a long time back then, but nowadays two weeks zap by before I've even gotten started D:

To make it crazier, the way I would rest from animating was to do an oekaki... I wish I still had that kind of focus and stamina X-)

Wow, that battle animation was crazy!
