House of Cards - stereoscopic

I downloaded the animation data from Radiohead’s House of Cards music video from google code and rendered a frame in papervision. It took me about 10 attempts to download one of the zip files, but when I did manage to download it, you get a csv file for each frame of the music video. I open the csv in excel, and it show four columns of data, x; y; z; and intensity. I then formatted the data so I could dump it straight into actionscript as array data: p.push({x:X, y:Y, z:Z, c:C}); . I had to extend the ParticleField Object Class to allow me to drop the 3D data points from the animation Data. I then rendered two scenes side by side, each with a different camerax position to create a stereoscopic view. If you cross your eyes it really does look 3D.

I have added it as an experiment at robshearing.com
