Browse & Create Cool 3D Pictures

Taking 3D Photographs: Getting started in 3D photography is easy. Just take two side-by-side photographsstart3d approximately eye distance apart with your normal camera. It’s very important not to move the camera too much in between the two shots – for best results, we suggest you move only about an inch per four feet of distance to the subject (2cm per meter of distance to the subject). Make sure both of your photographs are in focus and well lit. You should end up with two .JPG files. If necessary, rotate them to be the right way up.

Creating Albums: After registering, go to your albums page (click on ‘My albums’), and click on the button that says ‘Create Album’. Fill out the title for the album and choose whether it will be public (viewable by anyone) or private (viewable only by yourself and people you share it with) and click the ‘Create album’ button to continue.

Uploading Photographs: Upload the JPG taken from the view of your left eye in the left column, and the JPG taken from the view of your right eye in the right column. Click the ‘Upload’ button and wait for the upload to complete. Fuji REAL 3D users should change the setting to upload MPO files; each MPO file contains two pictures.

Making a Piku-Piku: That’s it! Your photographs are being turned into ‘Piku-Piku’, an exciting new way to experience 3D photographs without glasses. A thumbnail will appear on your album page when it’s done, usually in about 10 seconds.
