360Photography

I made this in 3ds Max, using a dual camera rig I created based on one of www.louismarcoux.com great tutorials (visit his site, it’s worth it!). The two animations I rendered for what would be the left and right eye I then put together in Adobe After Effects with a technique I arrived at through trial and error (if you know a better way, I would love to hear about it – like the combustion one Louis Marcoux has on his site). The technique is very simple: In Adobe After Effects import both your movies and create a new composition. To the left eye render add a Color Balance fx, and set the Red value to 255 and the Green and Blue values to zero. Do the same to the right eye render, but set the Red to zero and the other two to 255 so you get a cyan tint. Now set the blending mode of both layers to “Screen”, this will lower significantly the contrast of your movie, so add an adjustment layer over both and to this one add Levels and Hue/Saturation fx and tweak as needed. I apologize in advance if the youtube compression screws too much with the video and you can’t see the anaglyph effect. I you don’t please be polite about it and let me know. If you have further questions on how I did this or anything else regarding anaglyphs or 3D I’ll try to answer them the best I can. Feel free to visit my website at www.oscarblanco.net for more anaglyphs and a lot of my other work in 3D, animation, photography and Illustration. There’s also free downloads there, like dock icons, wallpapers …
