Futurama screenshots converted to 3D

[on:]

I've made some 3D pix out of screenshots from the season 1 DVD, you can see 'em here:

You gotta have 3D glasses for them to work, but you can get a free pair if you send a self-addressed stamped envelope to this company:

(make sure you ask for a pair of red/cyan glasses in your note)

To make a 3D image you need two pictures of the same scene from slightly different angles, so my technique was just to look for scenes where the "camera" was panning sideways or revolving around, and take two nearby screenshots from slightly different times. This only works for the CGI shots in Futurama (it's easier with a live-action movie, you can see some others I've done here), so these are just scenes of ships, buildings, and robots.

Well those look pretty good to me. I don't have those glasses but they still look cool.   

Also, welcome to PEEL. This thread probably belongs here.
And no welcoming would be complete without germanfryfan's FAQ picture.

Thanks Kyle! I see the thread has already been transferred, thanks to the ever-vigilant moderators. The link in that picture is broken, has the FAQ been moved?

[Reply #3 on:]

Hmm, it works for me. Anyway here  is the link try that.

Weird, I still get a 404 error when I click the link. Does it still work if you hit "refresh"? Maybe I need to try with a different browser or sumthin.

That's a really cool idea, you can always hold some red and green celephane to hold in front of each eye (just grab a box of quality street) think that'll work. Welcome to PEEL

There's a server change going on at alltoons, they're part way through the move and so the PEEL FAQ page will be offline for a short while.

They look nice.

Very nice pictures FlexoLives 
Sadly I'm not able to see them correctly, having nearly no depth-perception (like Leela  ), due to only 20% sight on my left eye. 

I said it before in one of the game-threads:

Wow I really changed Peelin these 75 days of me beeing a member.

But I think I should make another picture, because this look really stupid if you give it to a new member who did nothing / only few things wrong.

Really cool pictures, and welcome to PEEL, FlexoLives

What exactly did you mean by that, gff?

[Reply #10 on:]

I think FlexoLives' thread is the wrong place to discuss that.

But what I meant was that my pictures (maybe not me in person) became quite famous by few peelers. TOTPs show gff animations even if it's not my post, new members are welcomed with my pic, my style of running trivia/frame-grab games is more and more copied, I helped speeding up the avatar upload, and so on and so on...

Cheers to the savior of peel gets tired and walks off

Those look (in the words of cartman, himself) "Kewl!" I'll try that quality streets trick, great idea with the 3D thing

[Reply #12 on:]

Wohooo,
crazy as fu..
that inspired me to do this:

Very awsome idea... now I need to get ahold of some 3d glasses...

And people would probably like you more for all that stuff if you didn't bring it up yourself

Sweet!

Do the pictures work for you? On some of the ones I've made, a few people have said the two halves look too far apart to merge into one 3D image for them, but much like soylent cola it varies from person to person.

As for the conversions, I'm using Photoshop Elements, the cheaper version of Photoshop. You can also do it with a lot of other paint/photo editing software though, there's some instructions here and here. And here's some other 3D software someone mentioned to me once, although I can't use it since I have a mac:

Thanks. Some of the pix work better than others.
You've pointed me in the right direction - I'm on a Mac myself,
both at home and at work.
I've got Photoshop 8 CS at work.
When i get a chance, I give you a more detailed account of exactly which ones worked better for me.
Macs Rule!
