Join Richard Harrington for an in-depth discussion in this video Changing the 3D method used, part of Motion Control 3D: Bringing Your Photos to Life in Three Dimensions with Photoshop and After Effects CC.
- If you have a pair of 3D glasses lying around…you could actually set it so you can view it.…Now, you can use a variety.…Maybe you have active glasses that work…with your 3D television or you have the prismatic type…or the color shifting type.…It doesn't matter, After Effects supports all of them.…There are two controls we need to worry about.…The first set is under Stereo 3D Controls.…This is where you have some control…over the camera separation.…Normally, you're gonna go off of the center.…Hero Left and Hero Right is specifically…for using this with the GoPro 3D Hero system.…
So, if you are using those cameras…to create 3D content you can use that.…But normally, we'd use center.…The scene depth percentage will increase…the set of depth within it.…Three percent is the normal amount.…If you start to push this even further…you'll notice additional cropping at the edges.…Zero doesn't give you much depth at all…so try something between three and ten…until it starts to look realistic to you.…
In order to judge this,…
