Has anyone done anything interesting with X-Specs (the 3-D glasses)? Any new programs for them at all? Just asking 'cause I haven't seen any discussion about them for a long time. -- Tony -- Tony Parkhurst ( tony@hp-sdd.HP.COM ) "Is this Hell? Or is this Texas?"

DigiPaint 3 has a 3D mode. You set it to use an interlace screen. Then you click one key and it draws one field , ie the alternate lines that are displayed to one eye. You click another key to draw in the other field for the other eye. It is relatively easy to make simple 3D objects, for example balls etc that seem to stand out in front of the screen. I have just played with it a bit. I suspect with a little more practice and skill one could do so very dramatic 3D pictures or animations. I have also used Live! to digitize images of objects from two reference points a few inches apart and then used them to create 3D images. I have not yet used this in combination with DigiPaint3 to do anything, I suspect it will make a powerful combination. It is a lot of fun to do these things. I hope I find something really useful to do to justify my expense. /|\ | The above opinions are all my own but they are freely distributable. foy@aerospace.aero.org (Richard Foy)
