Hi Carl, o.k. I will try to explain you the secret of bringing the two flics together in one flic. In AniPro 1.) – use DRAW and OPAQUE and choose a light color – draw in ZOOM-mode some pixels like this: * * * * – press on you TAB-Key or choose CEL/CLIP – use FILL and TILE to fill the rest of the image with the current cel – make a right-mouse-click on MASK in the main menu. – select (mask)CLIP and save the mask for later stereo projects – in the main menu left-mouse-click on MASK, so MASK is highlighted. 2.) – make a color palette with a black->red and a black->green gradient (both in one palette !!) and save the palette. – load the green flic, be sure that in the palette menu FIT is on. – click on T for enabeling the timeing and load the saved palette – when asked for "Fit Screen" answer with YES 3.) – load the red flic as _(anim)CEL_ – be sure that the T button is on. – and now comes the great moment where AniPro is much faster then videopost, use CEL/PASTE and click on RENDER. Now the two stereo flics will be overlayed. One pixel for red the next pixel for green and so on …. you see the flics must not be transparent, thats's what I mean with "raster", sorry it's a german word, I thought it's an english too. I think this method is much better for red/green glasses because the brightness/luminance of the images will not lost as it is when you make your flics transparent. When you have succes with stereo projects please e-mail me or upload some examples. Take also a look at the GRAPHDEV forum section VR/ANIMATION for other stereo things. much luck Ingo PS: I uploaded two red/green stereoimages called: 3DSTIL.GIF and 3DCHIP.GIF in WHATS'NEW !
