The UK’s leading tabloid is going 3D.

3D Vision Blog reports that on June 5th The Sun will have a special one off 3D issue that will have free anaglyph 3D glasses. Now if only I can find a way to help out for their page three imagery…

The latest version of Reallusion’s facial animation tool Crazy Talk offers stereoscopic 3d animated output for anaglyph or side by side purposes.

Another nice little feature on their site is a simple clear explanation of how S3D works

We’re incredibly pleased to announce that our Stereo 3D group over on Vimeo has hit the 1,000 videos mark. That’s a phenomenal number to have amassed in less than six months and is a testament to the surge of interest with amateur and professional film-makers alike that the resurgence of stereoscopic 3d film has had.

It’s great to see the group growing and it’s a humbling experience to regularly see such great work on the channel. If you’ve not visited it yet grab your 3d specs and come on over.
