Abstract
A computer-implemented method for determining a user-defined stereo effect for a computer-animated film sequence. A stereo-volume value for a timeline of the film sequence is obtained, wherein the stereo-volume value represents a percentage of parallax at the respective time entry. A stereo-shift value for the timeline is also obtained, wherein the stereo-shift value represents a distance across one of: an area associated with a sensor of a pair of stereoscopic cameras adapted to create the film sequence; and a screen adapted to depict a stereoscopic image of the computer-generated scene. A script-adjusted near-parallax value and a script-adjusted far-parallax value are calculated.
