Testing Post Processed Stereoscopy

Due to a project I was working on, I was evaluating the possibilities of post processed stereoscopy. The project is finished and available for download here:

This program will allow you to interactivily look around in a pre rendered 3D scene in stereo 3D. The scene you are seeing in this video is one of 4 example scenes included in the download.

I thought post was MUCH better.

@vaasnaad The distortion was a little too less to match the same eye distance than in the first test. So it's easier to look at in exchange for less 3D depth. Apart from that, you should be able to achieve the same parallax with both approaches, but the post processing approach leads to some distortion artifacts. So this approach is actually the worse. If you try to look at the first test from a greater distance, you might get a better 3D impression.

I have a question for one of my subscribers: did this video appear on your frontpage, after I made it public? I ask because I uploaded it as a private video first.

[Jasonhalo0]

@NionsChannel Yep, worked for me

[NionsChannel]

@Jasonhalo0 Ok, good to know. I was afraid I would have to publish videos always immediately.

do i need glasses for this?

[NionsChannel]

@ronstero depends on the 3D settings. You can also choose an other display mode to watch it cross eyed.

you can see it without 3d monitor or anything if you can squint with your eyes :O

In the classic, the mountains in the background were more "3D" to me, but the foreground was fuzzy, which can happen depending on the camera angle, which can't really be help, at least I don't think so.

In the post processed, the background mountains seemed a little bit less "3D" to me, but the foreground was clearer. I'm not really a fan of post processed 3D because companies use it as a crutch to make more money, but this actually was ok. Great job! Looking forward to more videos.

It works fine. But you loose some of the depth you get with "classic stereoscopy"..
