Free 3D Photo Maker

Free 3D Photo Maker is a program that creates 3D "stereo" photos from two slightly offset still images. It features a choice of 3D algorithms (optimized, red/cyan, dark, gray & yellow/blue), it supports 11 different input image formats (RAW, PICT, BMP, JPG, RLE, ICO, EMF, WMF, PNG, TGA & GIF), it saves the 3D stereo image to the JPG format, it is simple to use, and more. If you want to create 3D stereo images then this is probably the simplest way of getting them. The secret is to take two photos of the same scene, with an offset of about two to three inches to the right (best to move your whole body rather than just twist a little). The two photos are then opened in Free 3D Photo Maker, keeping the left hand image on the left, and the right hand image on the right. Select the algorithm you want to use (you can save the same images in different algorithms and see which is best for you), and click on the "Make 3D!" button. The resultant 3D image can be viewed in stereo anaglyp
h glasses. We tried the sample images provided with the program and used the paper glasses included with a movie we had previously purchased. We selected the red/cyan algorithm to produce a 3D image we could view using those glasses. The result was excellent. If you are taking photos in the field, you may want to take a series of digital photos with varying offsets until you learn the optimal distance between them. Free 3D Photo Maker is an impressive tool for anyone looking to create 3D stereo type images. If you have a few pairs of stereo anaglyph glasses around you could even make up a sequence of images to play on your TV for your family and friends. It could liven up those holiday slideshows... If you are want to create 3D stereo images then Free 3D Photo Maker should be high on your list as possible tools.
