Anyone have 3D glasses ?

3D anaglyph of a Sycamore tree If you have a pair of those red/cyan 3-D glasses (perhaps from this year’s Supper Bowl), could you take a look at this image and tell me if it works correctly. You will get a 768×1024 image if you click on the thumbnail here.

I created this anaglyph using GIMP and a script called of all things”script-fu-make-anaglyph”. If you are interested in the manual steps involved, there is an easy to follow tutorial (one for GIMP and another for Photoshop).

My two source images were just “junk" shots I took with my cell phone. If this works, and I get my own red/cyan 3D glasses, I’ll go back and process some of my good quality pictures as well as try a few new ones here on the shore.

If this has peaked your interest, you can find many anaglyph images with a Google search.

    Seems to work. Seems most effective on the tree branches that are on the back of the tree, especially near the top.
    Cool!

      Thanks for the feedback. It was a rush on the photos and my cellphone is by no means a very crisp camera. I’ll try it again with better source material.
