It’s been another great month for our S3D videos on both our YouTube Channel and our Stereoscopic 3D Video Channel on Vimeo.

• The Stereoscopic 3D Channel on Vimeo focusses on highlighting the BEST Stereoscopic 3d videos available on Vimeo.
• The Stereoscopic 3D Channel TESTBED brings you over 750 stereoscopic 3d videos, including stereoscopic training and exclusive versions created only for this group.
• Enhanced Dimensions on YouTube with over 50,000 views is the premier showcase of our own S3D videos available in a vast range of 3D formats.

If you’ve not see any of our Enhanced Dimensions Stereoscopic 3D videos yet, take a break and come on over… glasses at the ready!

We’ve added yet another section to our Stereoscopic 3D downloads section of the site aimed at After Effects users. In the new section we’ve got support files for our various S3D tutorials plus we’ll be offering After Effects 3D scenes or objects free for use in your non-commercial 3d videos. Now that’s a deal you can’t refuse!

Take a look at our After Effects 3-D Downloads

Nintendo has announed that it’s next generation handheld console will be a stereoscopic gaming system. The new Nintendo DS will be out later this year and will deliver a stereo 3d gaming experience without the need for any 3D glasses. It’s assumed this will use a lenticular style screen to create 3d effects not disimilar to the Fujifilm FinePix W1 camera.

It’s not confirmed at this point but it would make sense that Nintendo’s device will include a stereoscopic camera, if not in this first generation 3DS then in future versions that will brind simple stereoscopic photography to a whole new market. The potential for 3D imagery and video playback alongside the unparalelled gaming experience that Nintendo always deliver will surely make this machine a must have gadget!

I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to everyone on YouTube and Vimeo that have subscribed or have given such nice compliments on our 3D work over the past few months. It’s been fantastic to see such a great response and it really makes it worthwhile.

Here’s some of the fantastic comments our Stereo 3d videos have received:

• You’re doing the BEST 3d i’ve ever seen.
• This video is awsome.
• LOVE IT! THE BEST VIDEO ON YOUTUBE
• ULTIMATE AWESOMENESS!!!!!!
• This is freakin’ incredibly awersome man! thank you!
• This is really super cool!

As a thank you for the month of April I am gong to be offering FREE 3D glasses to all my subscribers. In order to receive a pair of these glasses you just need to supply your YouTube or Vimeo username and pay for postage and packing for your region.

More details will be on the site next week.

We’ve got a fun new stereoscopic 3-d tutorial on using displacment mapping techniques to create more organic rounded 3D effects in Adobe After Effects. Taking a very simple animation and background you can create a cool looking spiral tunnel, or if inverted shuttlecock, expanding out of your screen and into reality.

Let’s learn some AE3D! Watch the Stereoscopic 3D After Effects Displacment Map Tutorial now.
