Using Stereo Pairs<br />

Stereo Pairs is a display enhancement technique<br />

based on the optical principles of the Stereoscope,<br />

the late-Nineteenth century device for 3D viewing<br />

of photographs. By displaying two images with a<br />

slight displacement, a 3D effect is created.<br />

Stereo views can be either Parallel or Reverse<br />

(direct or cross-eyed). Some people find it easier to<br />

look directly, others can cross their eyes and focus<br />

on two images, creating an enhanced three<br />

dimensional effect. In either case, the effect may be<br />

easier to achieve on a printed stereo view of your<br />

model than on the screen. Keep the images<br />

relatively small, and adjust the distance from your<br />

eyes.<br />

To set the Stereo Pairs parameters:<br />

1. Open the Model Setting dialog box, and click<br />

the Stereo and Depth tab.<br />

The stereo views control panel appears.<br />
