3D art on tees using glasses?

[Dottonedan]

I have a customer that is looking for new concepts using 3D art for his licensed product line.

3d was tried back some 10-15 years ago but lost its momentum quickly.  Anyhow, it seems to be back and this customer is looking to do it.

Does anyone remember the art technique to achieve it with the glasses. We often thought it was just offsetting the red and green but it never seemed to be the best method. I thought with it coming back in popularity, someone may have gotten it right. Still, you need 3d glasses to get your tee to pop.

Modern 3D is done with polarity, that's all I have to offer about that.

I'm guessing you can't achieve that on a shirt... which brings you back to Red and Blue (not green) again.

We did it years back with a shirt for the Rockettes.  It was pretty cool, but a son-of-a-bitch to keep registered.  If a screen popped out you didn't know it....we did 1 job and it faded away.

I used to work with the woman who does the Magic Eye books, she even has a syndicated weekly comic. How about that type of effect? However, one needs stereoscopic vision to see it. Being blind in one eye, I can't possibly see it, but everyone, including the wife, says it works.

she even sent us design that we printed for her, and it worked, they tell me anyway

that's the real silly thing about the 3d designs, you need to wear the glasses to see them.
altho i personally like the look of old school 3d art with the offset red and blue, it's just an interesting aesthetic.

the offsetting is the correct way, the more offset the more depth is perceived.

we've done these a couple times and it really ends up being a gimmick

Buddy of mine got real interested in this awhile back for an art show.

There's a great tutorial somewhere on the internets about it but I basically
recall taking a greyscale image, making it a selection, duplicating it twice,
shifting one to the left and one to the right (controls depth) and assigning
one red and one blue. (the blue is nearly pure cyan BTW).

If you happen to have a pair of those ultra cool glasses laying around, check this
bad boy out:

Was it all one depth stuff back then?

I've never really been a fan of "3d", well, except for Captian Eo!

I thought it had to bring things that you wanted closer to you by shifting it X amount in both directions (or if you want it to move to your left of field maybe less blue or whatever).  So like his nose would be brought closer to you than say his ears.

I could be over complicating this and expecting too much from 50's technology.

Alfred here is one of the test images I used in trying out the technique.
I actually really like the red/blue 3D effect. Though not as stunning as modern
3D, I think it's nostalgic for a lot of folks.

My buddy bought like 100 pairs of the red/blue glasses for $30 or something.
We printed those as well. Night of the art show I had to leave earlier to play
a gig with my band at the time. I wore the glasses through the entire set and
then some. When I finally took them off things looked a little strange for awhile
to say the least. But what, me worry?

I don't know how the effect would pan out on shirts. It relies on the shifted colors being
a certain distance from eachother, and this would be variable on textiles.

Testing sure was weird though, a bunch of people sitting around wearing 3d glasses
staring at a computer screen for hours.

Not sure of what the difference is, but I took the 3d glasses I have for my 3d HDTV      and looked at the images in the link and of the one above. No change.
