I saw a 3d movie last night, and when I got the red/green glasses, I started wondering if the Amiga could be used to produce images for use with these glasses. For example, what is the best way to display the two images? Rapidly alternate between them, or use red bits for one image and green for the other? Does anyone have experience with this?

In the manual that accompanies Digi-View they explain briefly the procedure
needed to create red-green 3d images. I guess it could be done with some
of the animation packages either by creating two sets of all objects and
placing them slightly apart from one another or by somehow designing the
objects with the red-green "split" already in each.

ShareWare) game called 3D-BreakOut thats really wild! I played it quite some time ago (pre 500 era). You may just want to track down a copy and have a look at what can be done. The game is not very hard to beat, but the 3D effects are very well done. For this reason alone its worth looking into.

Check out 3DStars on Fish Dish #33, which I wrote many moons ago. Also, there's a 3D Breakout game someone wrote which is also very good. Both of these use the red/blue glasses trick. >For example, what is the best way to display the two >images? Rapidly alternate between them, or use red bits for one image >and green for the other? > Flickering LCD glasses enable you to see full color 3D, whereas red/blue 3D tends to give peope headaches. Mind you, the flickering glasses can give you headache too, but it's no worse than, say, an interlace workbench. BTW, a curious side effect of MicroWay's flickerFixer is that it breaks flickering LCD-based 3D, since it eliminates the flicker, resulting in very weird displays. >Does anyone have experience with this? > Yup. I keep promising the Net that we'll release something Real Soon Now. I keep telling Gary that the market is ripe and clamoring for this stuff, and he keeps saying, "Yeah, we'll do it. You have MY word on it." So I have no idea when my stuff will be released. Wade Bickel will probably beat us to the shelves (which isn't necessarily a bad thing; I saw his stuff at DevCon, and it looks real good. It'd be even better if he didn't stomp multitasking).
