Thanks, Duncan. I really like using the S100 - in fact I'm reconfiguring my S100 (SDM) rig for portrait mode. The hardest part here was getting 2 sequential shots without the wind creating a rivalry.
The idea of "offensive parts" to an image is an area where I may disagree with some judgments by my fellow 3D enthusiasts. In my opinion "artistic beauty" or "artistic merit" trumps...no pun intended......technical correctness. For example I have submitted BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY 3D conversions that were labelled and dismissed as "cardboarding"...when these were MASTERPIECES either by me...or more likely by GREAT ARTISTS. The appearance that they were "cardboarded" and this disqualified them from enjoyment seemed incorrect . But, I realize there are always two sides to every issue...however it often seems to someone like me who is able to perceive that many issues are GRAY.... that having "black and white opinions" is a thinking mistake that disallows rational human judgements about many important issues.
The 3D interlace viewing mode has been fixed in Blender 2.79b. You can do all the camera adjustments in Blender and then have it render the left and right views in one pass. See: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/render/workflows/multiview/usage.html
Yeah, the left and right are swapped. Opening a pair of images in SPM, the selection order is left then right. If you open right then left you will have to then swap them in SPM using the X key. I always shoot cha-cha from left to right for this reason (unless there are fast moving clouds). When doing VE it depends on which way the camera is traveling if you grab the images in a chronological order as to if they end up inverted or not.
By inverted do you mean L-R is swapped? Almost 100% of the images I bring into SPM need to be swapped - never figured out why. But I just swap them and continue with my work. The movement in this sequence of the drone footage was more orbital than horizontal. I actually like it that way.
Hi, Jack. I do realize that there is a lot of deviation in the starfield, it's actually the reason I liked it. And the nature of the stars (white points on a black background) might make it even harder to fuse for some people. The upper left stars appear in front of the window, and the lower right stars fall behind it. I removed any stars that touched the border to avoid window violations, so I am not seeing any violations. But I knew I was taking a risk with this image, because there's not a lot of meat in the starfield to get a hold of, and that some viewers might experience problems. I use cross view all the time. I do a lot of work with my eyes crossed, so I've gotten quite good at it. It could be that my stereopsis is more forgiving, who knows. On the other hand, there are some images here on Phereo that I have problems fusing. Everyone is different I guess. But I appreciate your comments, and your spending the time to try to get a good view of the starfield. I usually stay on the safe side with my images, but this was truly an exception.
I did not manage to have good 3D perception with your image (both parallel view and anaglyph).
Actually, I have hard time to find which star of one eye goes with which one on the other eye while examining the pair itself. The absence of clue to guide stereopsis fusion is quite confusing thus 3D is hard to get.
I find it more difficult to merge in the top left part of the image. I guess that with more potential candidates, my brain is more confused. Perhaps having some noticable stars (by magnitude and/or colors like in real world) to give hint for fusion might help to improve the image. Also, I have better results when the image is small. I suppose that low magnitude stars get less visible thus there are less distracting elements. The separation is also smaller and maybe easier to merge too. Another thing I noticed is a window violation for some stars at the left. Removing the bright one gave instant improvement in my ability to fusion in its neighborhood. I suspect the (really cool) planet to have a similar effect by hiding a part of pairing-stars (I think the term is that these stars are in a "rivalry zone", but not sure).
Thanks, Timo! I actually like the rotunda and door shots better.....I have been consistently wrong when guessing which photos others will like, regardless of the subject. I suppose that's true for most of us.
