Stereoscopic 3D Version
In 2010 Elephants Dream was entirely re-rendered in stereoscopic 3D by Wolfgang Draxinger. The project was announced to the public in mid September on BlenderNation and premiered on the 2010 Blender Conference.
Unlike the original version, which was in Full-HD resolution (1920×1080), the stereoscopic version was rendered in Digital Cinema Package (DCP) 2K flat resolution (1998×1080), a slightly wider aspect format, which required adjustment of the camera lens parameter in every shot. Many scenes in the original production files used flat 2D matte paintings, which were integrated into the rendered images during the compositing phase. For the 3D production each matte painting had to be manipulated or entirely recreated into versions for each eye.
Wolfgang Draxinger implemented a number of stereoscopic features in Blender to aid in the stereoscopic production process. These were included into the Blender 2.5 and later versions.
