New tutorial how to do S3D with Blender

Berlin based Sebastian Schneider did a very welcome online tutorial Stereoscopic Rendering in Blender. I hope to get him on the openKMQ bandwagon soon ;-)

Please create content like this ...

These renderings are done with VRay/3Dmax by a Berlin based artist.

Inspirational S3D work by 3D viz pro Bertrand Benoit, one of the early adopters of openKMQ.
Read the recent interview with the artist.

New german blog

With the help of Christian Henkel, the openKMQ project now also has a german blog page.
We will try to keep both communities informed simulationsly.

First KMQ book since 1983

A friend of mine allowed me to publish a nice 3-D documentation of a railway bridge beeing replaced. I wrote a program called "StereoBookMaker" to solve this task.
Using SBM you can create your own 3-D books/cards/iPad-Galleries using many different presentation methods. Obviously my favorite 3-D viewing method still is KMQ(over/under), but others are supported as well - excluding all color distorting methods (no Anglyphs!!!)

Here you can preview and order the books : epubli

Why does the new "any LCD" kit have 5 holes ?

An early adopter asked me about the 4 small extra holes in the laser cut acrylic frame of the new kit. Yeah - I forgot to mention that this design is also meant to be mounted on strings infront of over/under paintings and big 3-D prints inkjetted to canvas. Remember - the bigger the picture pair, the bigger the sweet spot distance to view from with the KMQ viewer.
As a local printing service in Berlin/Germany for fine art digital canvas printing I recommend Whitewall.
I'm still looking for digital artists and stereo photographers to exhibit their work in this all new form.

I recommend a bag for the new "iPad 3-D" stand

After traveling to amsterdam for the BLENDER Foundation sponsor/team screening of their new short DURIAN/Sintel I realized that I need a proper and good looking bag for my 3-D stand. And it should have space for my accessories and the iPad as well.

I went to a local shop for designers and sculptors and found this:





Manufacturer: RUMOLD
EAN-No 012108155700

I bought it for 17,90 EUR in Berlin at modulor
