Next meeting:   TBA - likely end of August '08 at Capilano College
 

 

 

Meetings are usually held at Capilano College in N. Vancouver
in the Physics Lab, FIR302

Rolf, Bernd
Gary

Usual format (with lots of exceptions) 

  • 6:30pm  Physics lab opens early for casual discussions and to peruse what members have brought. Computers are available for web browsing.
  • 7:30pm  Feature slide presentation followed by3D News and TidBits. 
  • Break - further chance to look at toys, talk with people
  • Second presentation or talk. Projection of stereo samplings brought by members
To have your slides digitally projected at our 3D Club meeting:
  • bring digital images on a USB memory key
  • prefix image names with your name and an order number
    (such as Bernd01_city.jps, Bernd02_gastown.jps, Bernd03_Van.jpg …)
  • use jpeg images with extension .jpg for parallel and .jps for crosseye
  • projected size is 1024x768 per left/right view (2048x768 for the twin pair image file). Our projection software (Stereo Slideshow) will scale images to the projected resolution
  • ensure image are carefully aligned (such as use Stereo Photo Maker auto-align feature). Projected stereo images will exaggerate misalignments making them very hard to view

Meeting of Apr 24, 2008
Only a few came to view four excellent shows. Rolf began with film slides showing from last summers NSA/ISU Boise trip using a slide projector at Gary just bought for club use. Then John Asbacher presented a digital show of images from his recent Maui, Hawaii trip. Bernd followed with a selection of current digital work including twinning NASA space shuttle photos and twinning views of the human body from Visible Body software. Final show was the NSA2009 convention promo digital show of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Holiday Dinner Meeting of Jan 31, 2008
   A dozen people came to our holiday dinner meeting at the Alpen Club  The Vancouver 3D Club is now 10 years old.

Meeting of Nov 29, 2007
Only a few people (less than a dozen) came for what turned out to be an excellent on-the-spur showing of digital slides. Ben Clifford presented a number of digital slides that he scanned and prepped from glass plates taken by his grandfather in the early 1900's. We got to preview John Asbacher digital stereo shots from a kayaking trip by "Broken Group of Islands" that included shots of orcas and humpback whales (John plans to build show from these slides). Lots of tidbits, discussions and misc digital projections filled out the evening.

Meeting of Aug 30, 2007
A couple dozen people came for another jam packed evening of 3D. Major exhibits included Bernd's custom built "Stereo Mirror" (view stereo using LCD monitors), Brian McConnell's stereo print viewer, Rick Gibson's large art lenticular and Peter Lowery's large selection of paraphernalia from Boise07. Evening talks began with Brian McConnell presenting his Boise07 talk "Eye to Image". John Asbacher followed with a talk "Shooting to Presenting" giving detailed insight on how to build dynamic stereo shows with video editing software (detailed info here). Interspersed where both 2D and 3D images from the Boise 2007 NSA/ISU convention. We finished with projecting sampling of 3D digital images that members brought including notably Jack Chevalier with images of his hikes on Mt. St. Helen, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite and Sequoia Canyon. 

Meeting of April 26, 2007
A couple dozen people came for a jam packed evening of 3D. There were many notable items to view including the new 3D World medium format camera brought by Gary Cullen (along with a number of his medium format slides), Rick Gibson's lenticulars and 3DPix products. Presentations began with Bernd Simson digital slide projection of Iberostar resort in Bavaro, Punta Cana. Rick Gibson then gave a talk of his large format lenticular art work with many examples. Peter Lowery led our 3D tidbits section including his find of a Spy Kids lenticular poster. This followed with stereo film slide projections; Dragan Smekal presented a selection from his work followed by a presentation by Rolf Eipper of “Pagodas of Bangkok”. We the viewed a projection of a few historical View Master reels including early Vancouver reels and Kiss rock group reels. The evening’s final presentation was a digital projection of John Asbacher work that renders presentations of photo slides with transitions and sound tracks. John presented “Stanley Park” as well as a repeat of last meeting’s “Desolation Sound Kayaking”
