Hello!

I want to create some Single Image Random Dot Stereograms (SIRDS) and need heightmap images (from a figure or a prop) to do that. Does anybody knows how to do that (with any of theses applications: DAZ Studio, Carrara, Hexagon, Blender or Poser)?

Is there a special render setting available?

Any hint is wellcome.

    What you need is a depthmap (pixel intensity indicates distance from camera to first surface) - a heightmap is something rather different.

    Atmospheric Effects Cameras for DAZ Studio has settings to do depthmaps.

    Thanks for your reply, that's exactly what I was looking for. (Using the wrong term explains why I couldn't find anything usefull ;-)).
