does this convert to color code?

[RScullion]

@powerlockit Yes, choose the yellow/blue anaglyph option.

How can you tell if you're watching 3D done by the film studio rather than by a pirate who faked it?

[RScullion]

@nishaJD Well - I guess the proof is in the pudding! If it looks good then does it matter? Usually the fake ones will look flat or worse be uncomfortable to view causing eye-strain.

[RScullion]

@nishaJD One other tip. If you can turn the glasses round (left lens over right eye and vice-versa) and it doesn't look any better or worse then it's probably a poor conversion.

So that's how people do to fail 3D on videos and pictures. Alright. xP

To make 3D is about to have 2 cameras, not a program that will do it for you automatic..

@RScullion are you gay?

[RScullion]

@SeriesOnlineFan Then it depends what formats your TV supports. Does it say? (I assume it's a 3D TV)?

[RScullion]

@SeriesOnlineFan It depends on your display device. I assume you are using a 3D monitor or TV?

@clamo636 I've just uploaded a new tutorial - depthmaps 101 which attempts to show how to do it with a few sample images. Hopefully that will help.
