Stereoscopic 3D rendering

Stereoscopic 3D rendering

- Stereoscopic 3D is an important technology that is used in many areas of the graphics industry. And so in this video, we want to walk through the basics of setting up and even previewing stereoscopic 3D rendering, using the V-Ray engine. Now whilst the stereoscopic 3D pipeline as a whole, that is, from shot composition through to final post effects is, by its very nature, a technically challenging process, getting a basic stereo effect working in V-Ray is by comparison, pretty simple. In a scene where the left and right cameras have already been defined by a separate process, for example when their animation has been predefined using motion capture data, we could go ahead and make use of the V-Ray Stereo rig. This can be accessed through the System section of the Command panel's Create tab. In simpler scenarios though, such as the one that we have here, we can instead, from the Helper section of the Command panel, access the VRay option in the drop down, and then click to choose the…
