3D Pictures

A slight departure from the usual ramblings here.

You know those pictures that look 3D when you view them through glasses with different coloured lenses? They're called "anaglyphs"

Well yesterday I worked out how to make them with Paintshop Pro. I couldn't believe how easy it is as long as you have two pictures of the same object taken from slightly different viewpoints.

I was so surprised that I'm going to write an ebook about it and put it on my forthcoming ebook store.

I even made some 3D anaglyphs from completely computer-generated pictures (generated using Povray). This is going to open up a whole new world for me. My neighbour who runs a portable planetarium/science dome often uses anaglyphs in his shows, so this will be very useful to him.
