Hi, people

This is my first post here.
It's a humble contribution to "the diamond subject".
Pick up your 3D glasses and take a look at it

(remember:
the left lens over your red eye...
or something like that)

Cool, it feels like I can fly right through it :)

They are flying out of the screen at me.  The red/cyan colors always remain in
these things when I look at them, wonder if that's always the case or whether
there are better and worse anaglyph images?  Probably has something to do with
how wide a separation was used.

Very good, I like it. Nice concept and well executed.

A stereophotographer might complain that it violates
the stereo window. That is a term 3D photographers
use to describe the situtation where an object is cut
off by the edge of the image. You can shift the individual
left and right images inward to move things back into the
window frame. Then things in the center can project out in
front of the screen, but objects at the edge can fall just
behind the vitural window frame.

    It's probably light leaking through the lenses of your glasses (red
through the blue/green lens and blue & green through the red lens). Have you
tried turning your monitor brightness down ?

Gave that a try just now, both brightness and contrast higher and lower.
Shows most at medium settings, plenty still when darker and more contrast.
These 3D "glasses" are only cheap cellophane, and my eyes are of no help
either.  When the color is all faded out it looks fine, if that's really the
word for it.

<br> Hi Bob,
<p>      First of all, this 3D-diamond image shows
"ghosts" even in my monitor, while I'm using my own glasses. For that I
mean this is not really a great 3D image. I don't think you can improve
it by changing contrast or brightness, since the problems are related both
to the hue and to the separation. I posted it here because it had something
to do with the "diamond subject" of this week and had this very strong
"flying through" effect.
<p>      But, generally speaking:
<br>    - For other images the color filters you have and
the color filters I use to prepare the images could be different. I use
red/blue glasses while creating images, some people use red/cyan glasses
to see them (or different intensities in the red and/or blue filters),
and then some 'ghosts' will show off, usually coming through the left (red
filter) eye. Besides that I adjust the images for my monitor colors. Since
there is no standard adjustment for colors (no absolute color scale, as
far as I know), some monitors can show a little more ghosts than others;
<br>    - While creating the image you have a compromisse
between sharpness and how much the image is flying out of the screen.
<br>       ( You control how much the image
is flying out of the screen by changing how much you displace the camera
from the left to the right position and by the positioning of the stereo
window.  As someone else noticed, I disgraced the stereo window in
this image by the cropping I did while trying to reduce its size)
<br>        I made some nice images,
very sharp (I mean, with no ghosts), but with little depth; others that
I made with a slightly bigger depth show these ghosts at the very deep
and  very close (relatively to the observer) points in the image and 
even tunning the colors independently for each filter (in my glasses),
I couldn't get rid of them.
<br>    - When I look at the images from a bigger distance
I see less ghosts.
<br>    - Finally, the jpg conversion does a good job in
increasing these ghosts, they are less intense in the tga file.
<p>         A good thing for me
is that the ghosts are less noticeable in spinning images. I use flics
of rotating molecules to talk about inner structure in crystals.
<p>        I added a png image (buckyball
arranged in a face centered cube) that shows absolutelly no ghosts (in
my system, with my glasses).
<br>Tell me what do you see in your system.
<br>Sorry for the size of it, but try to convert it to jpg (quality 100)
and compare the quality with that of the png.
<p>Best regards,
<p>                   
Ricardo

Hi Harold
<p>    I'm a violator! How can I sleep now?
<br>    Seriously, my mistake was to brainlessly crop the
image in the wrong place while trying to reduce its size.
<br>    It took 5h30m to render each image used to compose
the anaglyph. So, when I decided to put it in 640x480 I just cropped it,
instead of re-rendering. I'll be more careful next time.
<br>    I think it took this long (2x 5h30m in a PII 350MHz
128Mb) because I insisted in using transparency, high refractive indexes
and high max_trace_level, while I could have used some simpler material.
<br> 
<br>    Well, take a look at my other image, the buckyball,
in this same tread ("a 'ghostless' image"), and tell me what do you think.
<p>    Best regards,
<p>            Ricardo

Saved it as Jpg at a compression of 1 in PSP and it was alright I guess, a
little bluer through the red/blue glasses, and 10KB less is all.
This Png was real fine far as color, or lack thereof being all shades of gray.
Only about half the 3D depth I had expected though.
