I've been thinking about creating a personal project that requires 3D glasses to view it. A long time ago, I created 3D anaglyphs by creating a blue and red off-set channel in photoshop, but other than that, I've never tried this before. Any advise/tips you guys have, would be helpful.

I know that After Effects has a "3D Glasses" filter, but I'm not sure of the exact process of shooting or exporting my 3D animations from Cinema 4D so that it will properly work.

Here are my GUESSES:

For video footage - place two cameras side by side and record. (one camera for Left Channel and one for Right Channel) Hope there is a better option since I only have one camera.

For Cinema 4D/Maya: Create two cameras that are side by side and render two quicktimes out. (one from each camera view)

I'm assuming for both, my only option is the red/blue 3d glasses method, but if there are better methods (like the clear 3D glasses that are handed out at movie theaters), let me know.

Thanks.
