Hello. I just wondered if Vue 4 has simple settings that permit to render stereo pairs of images (to see in 3D with a 3D screen or shutter glasses...)!? pinky

No pinky. But I know that you can find free software, scripts and tutorials at the Internet to convert any image into a 3d stereo. Search under "stereo software". :-)Guitta

There are no simple settings to get stereo pairs, but it's not hard; just create two cameras. If you want to convert them into anaglyph images, use this: http://www.rhein-ruhr.de/~schrammel/3d.html VRJoy, a set of LCD glasses allows you to model in 3d in Vue.- Not really useful. It works great with Amapi, though.

Search for "anaglyph" too, and you'll find a number of programs - many free - that help you make the stereo effect.

Thank you people :) What i am mostly looking for is the way to create the image pair, as i have the devices to show them in stereo afterwards. I was just wondering if there were some tutorial with settings for Vue to do it easy but unfortunately i didn't fount any. (i found one very general one for Bryce) I don't have vue right here and don't remember if exact camera parameters (like position and orientation) can be set, but if it is the case, i should be ok :)

The cameras should take overlaping pictures with a peparation of about 2 1/2 inches for normal viewing. For macro shots, they should be apart one 30th of the distance of the camera to the subject. For distant views you should separate them more than the 2 and 1/2 inches. They should not be toed in, that is, they should be on the same horizontal axis. You can aim them up or down as long as they are level. For best results, include something in the near foreground, that is not cropped in any way. If you want to show for best advantage, don't show buildings or landscapes head on, but make it so that you have a good variety of objects receeding into the distance. Any other other depth clues, such as haze and color perspective help.

Vue renders stereo pairs perfectly, simply handle the camera as you would when making real photographic stereo pairs. I've made several up into slides which look great, and you can see a red - green example on my site, see link.
