The project seeks to identify and experiment with 3D stereoscopic methods and techniques by utilizing 3D packages and compositing software. The following research is formed as collaboration among faculty, students and researchers from the School of Art, Design and Media and the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering who share an enthusiasm for painting, emotive animation and 3D stereoscopic fabrication processes.

In the Next Limit Real Flow, particles are generated using emitters; fields are then created to influence, move and sculpt them, resulting in the creation of abstract shapes and form. Due to the erratic nature of these particles, trial and error is required to get the desired effect. A layer of polygonal mesh is generated over them to materialize its surface and shape, these are then exported out as *.bin files and imported into Auto desk Maya via a plug in. Resulting animated works will have a unique look and feel.
Anaglyph Filter Method: The final composite is made by taking the red out of the left image and adding it to the blue green of the right image. When you put on your red-cyan glasses, your left eye is only able to see the red light off of that image, and your right eye is only able to see green portion of that image. Using red-cyan as a filter the color of the image gives limitation to color spectrum. There is problem due to color of the object- if the object is predominantly or overly red color the left eye would see it well but the right eye would hardly see any image..this would break the stereoscopic impact. The bellow imagery is black and white so there is no problem due to color.
