I found this on ChromaTek's site:


"On a black background, red will appear closest, blue furthest, and the

other colors will fall in-between according to their place in the

rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue)."


So it sounds to me as if, if you want to move an object forward (toward

the viewer), you'd have to change it's color ... I doubt that this would

be a effective means of indicating depth in a movie, right?.


Thought the Red/Cyan (anaglyph) offer their own "crudities" (e.g., you

can't incorporate color effects into your artwork), they *do* provide a

means to get real forward/backward movement into your movie.


I posted this URL to this list last week, to a thunderous round of

silence. :-) In case you didn't see it ...

... it's a basic illustration of the changes you must create in order to

simulate 3-D movement ... size, position, and distance between the red

and cyan versions. More complex objects involve *perspective* shifts as

well (left eye sees a differently shaped form than the right, viewing

from a slightly different angle).


Happy to discuss this further with you! I've done more work on this than

just that little line rotating and moving toward you.


HTH,
