Artefact 3


For my third artefact I intended to create a 3d video in stereo to be viewed using anaglyph glasses. This method was chosen as it is a cheaper alternative to using stereo shutter glasses which can be costly.

However i could not find a method to batch process the 6000 frames from my walk through. This process would involve filtering the left and right frames and then embedding them on top of each other but slightly offset.

This artefact was also textured with vray materials. i just used an old brick texture for the light house and grass for the terrain. As with the last artefact the scene was still the same, with vray sun providing the lighting.

From the last artefact, it was decided that something was needed to provide a sense of scale within the scene. i decided to add trees so that the scale of the light house can really be felt.








Because I couldn't provide the walk through in stereo i couldn't really test the artefact correctly. In theory this method would be a cheap alternative to my previous stereo artefact as the anaglyph glasses are extreamly cheap to buy and are so simple. If there was an easy method to batch process the images it would be a great deal easier to produce videos.
