Another video. Again, best watched in expanded or full-screen view on Youtube.

The aim was to see if I could re-do the Black Death Benchmark Track in 3D. I think it turned out alright all things considered.

Tried to write a list of instructions here explaining how to make these kinds of video's, but it got too long and complicated.

I think the most important thing I can say, and the biggest lesson I've learned from this test is, if you want to make a video using the method I've used here, do it with a track you've recorded yourself specifically for that purpose.

Due to the nature of the manual 3D capturing method, and more so the limits of the games replay system, there are some kinds of shots you must avoid altogether in order to end up with a useable image at all. Beyond that, 3D video has it's own unique set of pre-requisites when it comes to shot composition and content. I don't know what all those do's and dont's are, but I have a better idea after making these test video's.

So, hopefully, if I do another one it will be less of a test and more of an attempt at ending up with a more finished result. But in the meantime -
