Sketchup on 3D screens
-
You don't need to render both at the same time, theres no dough you need 2 animation paths, only differance is the second animation is moved slightly to 1 side, each camera path represents an eye, left camera path is your left eye and right camera path is your right eye.
If you create a camera path by lines you can easily create the second camera path by copy line and move it right for the second camera path and place cameras on line the first on the second path, both camera paths are on the skip file, cut the second camera path/scenes and open another SU screen and save it, then render each animation separate and you have both you animations which you then use in a 3Dstereophonic creation software, there are many freewares to do this, place left animation in the left eye scene and right animation in right eye scene, and within seconds you have a 3D animation which you can export in different formats to watch on real 3D screens , 3DS, so on.Can a plugin help, yes, it can, it could create the scenes automatically once the first screen is created, speeds up the process, iv suggested this in the past and have being told it can be done, but no 1 is interested in making this plugin just yet.

Ok i was intreged with this post and said id try it out with 2 images i render from SU, heres the image below, now the only changes in this image are the cart and background sea so you can see depth by the sea and 3d effect with the cart, the camera position stays the same, use the cross eye effect to see in 3d

Has there being any plugin being created to give an output of 2 images with slight changes in camera position in SU, this is looking good for animations in SU i think
This renders so dark on my screen that I can barely see more than the headlights.

Rodger this is the second time you mentioned this to me, ok I get it, you can't see my images but I can on my 2laptops, iPhone, and iPad, others can see it with their devices, is your screen dusty maybe? If not try increasing the brightness of your screen
-
Damien here is the histogram of your file. No matter how my screen is set all of the visual imagery in your file is jammed down at the dark end of your histogram. -
lightened up a bit in LR.
was having a hard time understanding the image before i did that... with the macbook set @ full brightness.if it is a night scene, OK, but perhaps not the best example to use.
-
With a fully expanded histogram, the image looks like this.Damien does this read well on your screen?

Woooo Rodger, thats blinding
, its a night scene which is meant to be a dark scene, this is only an example of images being braught together to create a 3D image, bare with me and ill post a BRIGHT image of a project im working on at the moment, ill render it twice and place images side by side, then if my histogram is not up to standard sure let me know

for this thread, as you are trying to show a specific example of a 3d effect, it might be better to use a scene that isn't so dark.
-
Ok theres a better example, again use the cross-eyed technic to bring the 2 white dots together, you will notice 3 images displaying the flying craft, the middle image will have the 3D EFFECT
Rodger hows my Histograms

I also can't belive, SketchUp isn't interest in capability viewing 3d on monitors, or anaglyph / stereoscope! This feature is being on wishlist for years! A Presentation in 3d are very sales-promotional. Every boring 3d shooter can do by profile using directX, so is it only a licence problem caus SU uses openGL? Also a simple iPad can display a native skp file using SightSpace app with app-in buy stereo3d, or walkthroug3d. I find this solution, but the price ist to expensive for this feature. Does anybody have experience with this? (http://shop.more3d.com/Webshop/Category/52-software.aspx) or rather (http://www.more3d.com/3-D/sketchup.html)

Hi thanks for the links arved - I've downloaded the software and will use it with my 3d screen later (as soon as I have the glasses battery replaced). I'm curious to see how it works...
-
So I had a chance to install more3d and managed to run it in frame sequential 3d mode using my Samsung screen and shutter glasses. The 3d effect is OK'ish but the interface with native SU is non-intuitive and not a pleasure to work with. I battled to select a face to manipulate and the sharpness will cause serious eye strain. For me it is very disappointing...

The problem is the UI in sketchup, it was designed to be used on a 2d screen, to model in Real 3D using sketchup Trimble will need to redesign the UI for use in 3D, can it be done, yes of course, are they doing it? unfortunately not
