3D isn’t nearly 3D enough!
I’ve been working almost exclusively with 3D for years and 3D has only just taken off in cinemas, we’re still stuck with red/blue glasses for everything else unless you want to pay an arm and a leg for a fancy monitor and some less than amazing shuttered glasses.
I saw a magazine filled with 3D space pictures the other month, from the lunar landings 40 years ago to pictures of distant nebula taken by Hubble. Pretty cool stuff. Plus now I also have some red/blue glasses as well the blue/yellow glasses I picked up last year for a gimmicky TV ‘3D week’.
What better way to show off level design and modeling than in 3D? Here’s a mansion corridor from the artpass map, in this one the lighting isn’t final, there’s way too much bloom on the ceiling:
It only takes a few extra clicks added to my normal resize routine in photoshop to merge two screenshots into one. I’ll probably be using red/blue anaglyph for a lot of images in the future. Of course I’ll always provide 2D versions for those without red/blue glasses.

Any chance we could see it in Yellow/Blue? 😛
Looking interesting, I like the shiny wooden floor

This isn’t quite colorcode, but it should look ok using colorcode blue/amber glasses http://www.subtleallusion.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/corridor_colorcode.jpg
Shmitz Said,
It’s a shame red/blue tends to wash out the colors quite a lot. Computer monitor technology needs to catch up and support polarized 3D effects.
