We’re testing an inexpensive 3d rig we’ve pulled together for a series of tutorials on making 3d on a very tight budget and have our first test shots posted.

Full details of the rig will follow but for the moment we’ve uploaded anaglyph and side by side versions of footage shot of a local waterfall along the river Almond in Cramond, Edinburgh. We’ve used three different inter-axial settings to demonstrate the effect and haven’t done any horizontal shifts in post production – although we have done a little rotation and vertical shifting in order to align the shots. It’s an interesting experiment and hopefully you’ll come back once the series of tutorials is done.

Edinburgh screenWORKS is hosting a panel event on Low Budget 3D Filmmaking – next Sunday 13th as part of the Leith Short Film Festival – 4.30pm at the ISO lounge on Bernard Street in Leith, Edinburgh (rather obviously).

We’ll be there so do come along and say hi if you’re in the vicinity, or if you’re feeling passionate come on in and join the debate.

Our four part series on using Adobe After Effects to convert 2D footage to 3D is now complete and all tutorials are available to view online now. Each one focuses on a different technique with an increasing level of complexity. The first tutorial covers a simple channel offset technique that will get you converting 2d to 3d in minutes, whilst the remaining tutorials may take a little longer but will give you an increased range of posibilities in your 2d to 3d conversion toolkit!

We’ve been experimening with a variety of 2d to 3d conversion techniques to see if we can create a simple system for doing some basic 3d conversions. Obviously any generic approach is going to be the least effective way of dimensionalising footage but it’s an interesting experiment. We’ve converted three music videos and we’re currently looking at some public domain short videos that we can try out.

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.

Stereoscopic 3d Channel - TESTBED on Vimeo

Enhanced Dimensions has launched a new group for like minded stereographers on Vimeo. Our Stereoscopic 3D Channel TESTBED allows all member to upload their 3d stereoscopic tests, tutorials and completed videos. It also aims to offer a support area in the forums and a schedule of 3d related events.

Come on over and join the fun.
