Not that I have plans on making it but I was wondering (if it were made) would any owners of the new game buy one? I REALLY love how the Avatar 3D tl looks and think a ST one would be over the top for the new game.
Quoted from big_ragu:FYI, Aurich is working on a ST alternate translite. His alt The Shadow translite is AWESOME, really have high hopes for his ST translite.
Having said that, a 3D one like Tron or Avatar would be really cool.
Yeah, may be we could talk him into channeling his energies into doing it in 3D.
lol, zero interest in trying to mess with a 3D translite, I don't even like the way they look. Sounds like a giant headache to design and produce too. If someone wants to do it more power to them though!
It could be done. It is called lenticular. It is a pia though. Setting up the file is not that bad. The machine on the other hand can be a pain.

But you need to design two different files with the two different angles to get the 3D effect. If you're doing a photographic translite that's one thing, you can shoot in stereo, but if you're doing original art that means you have to render everything twice. A lot of work.

oh but if were done right it would be soooo cool I'd buy one. What may be $250? And with the right led bg with flashers WOW!!!
