Creating Stereoscopic 3D Images



Mr. Alexander Sparks helped me out with this pic.



Me going up some stair



Empty classroom.


AAAAAND here is a video I rendered in Maya using two cameras side by side. After the rendering I imported the two clips into Adobe Premier. In Premier I put the "right Camera" Clip on top of the "left camera" Clip. I then proceeded to down their opacity to 50%. After this I had to make the "Right" clip only red, and the "Left" clip only green and blue. A little different from the photoshop technique but as effective (The 3d affect is better if you rock from side to side while watching the video....seriously).

Lighting A Scene In Maya

This is the same scene that was built for the previous post EXCEPT now is it lit in Maya.


This is the scene with a key light, Colored Blue.



This is the scene with a fill light, Colored purple.



And just to mix things up a bit, here is the same scene with a third light added. A rim light with high intensity, colored green.


Now to mix things up again, is the same scene with a different lighting scheme:




I lit the scene using one spot light, and two area lights. The Spot Light is directly in front of my initials shining a blue light and casting a black shadow. The other two lights are positioned to the top left and top right of my initials and are colored red and purple respectively. The cool thing about this scene is that the initials are actually white (with a glow affect added to it). So all the color of the letters are due to the lights only. There is also a cool cast shadow effect.
