More than one approach to 3D and Stereo photography

Hhey there, Tony,

Thanks much for your substantive response.

The good news is that your use of depth mapping is yielding definitely positive results. The bad news is that I had discarded the possibility of getting into depth mapping five or 6?, 7? years ago, and now must re-think that decision! (I hate re-thinking, especially when the need is evidence of some misconceptions on my part!)

I got good results with your path through the woods, the swans, the sheep pasture, and the view through the stone arch. The view of the rusted boat at dock, and the view of a small bay did NOT give me a 3D jolt!

Anyway,, just for grins I ran some quick comparisons of my techniques using disproportionate geometric transformation to induce predictable patterns of detail size recession using your left-eye im@ges of the woodland path and of  the swans and cygnets. How did you make out viewing them?

I can see that you and I are probably going to have to post both Parallel and crossed arrangements?

By the way, I’m trying to keep track of the ages of responders to my 3D conversions. So far I’ve found one avid viewer older than me; he is 83 to my  youthful 81! what’s you vintage?

I have been trying to find useful info on depth mapping but all I’m getting is how to do depth mapping of images mad3 by special cameras.

Any help or technique examples you could provide would be appreciated.

Stay hale and hearty, Tony!k

Dave (waiting for my second booster!)
