Hey everyone,
I want to start messing around and learning about actually creating 3D stuff for tv. However, the kind that doesn’t involve the red and blue glasses. Disregard all technology costs at this point too. I want to learn more about the process at this point and I am wondering if anyone knows or can point me in the right direction of how to make 3d for broadcast. So far I am getting the idea that you need to have 2 cameras, one for the left eye and one for the right eye. But I can’t figure out how that would play into broadcast at all. Does anyone have any ideas or directions to go? I really appreciate it! Thanks!
Making 3D (not fake 3d or layer stacking) but actual 3D for tv and not stereoscopic

i’m kinda confused of what you’re asking for… are you talking about stereoscopic 3d footage or not? either way, i don’t think that’s the right forum…

There are a couple different ways 3D is presented. The problem is that your likely to be stuck working with anaglyph images for now. (Red/Blue glasses). The reason for this is it’s the most readily available and accessible method for seeing 3D. It doesnt require polarized lenses (That often require special displays or multiple projectors) or glasses that shutter and require batteries or power. Anaglph glasses are cheap and you can get decent pairs (plastic, not paper) off amazon for less than five dollars. The only downside is I think they are probably the most prone to headaches…
The workflow in after effects is also super simple. You just set up two comps with two cameras, slap them into one composition and add the channels filter so just one camera displays red and the other blue and green. There are detailed tutorials on digitaltutors which are great for learning that workflow. Having to pay for them is a bit of a bummer but I think it’s worth it if you’re really interested in getting into 3D.
