<<If you are using interlaced video at normal 15.75khz rates then each eye is only getting 30 images/sec which is pretty flickery. I was doing this a few years ago with really cheap goggles made to work with an Amiga, so I translated everything into Amiga anim files for playback.>> We are using the Crystal Eyes polarized glasses in conjunction with the animation played directly of the MAX to produce 3D images. The effect is quite impressive. I was just wondering(and possibly Laurent who is reading this) if there is a way to improve the quality. Though I get this is restricted due to the limitations of the PAL video. <<I am mostly going to holographic output, so these days I just view a flic or PAR ani version of my scene and 'visualize' the result>> I think like most animators you soon learn how to see very well with your "third" eye, besides it's cheaper too <g> David "Cyclops + 2" Gould
